so the fish said

Prepare to hate me

So today, while most of you were working for the man, I had a facial. The aesthetician complimented me on my remarkably clear skin and small pores. Then she picked out my blackheads, but whatever. Then I had lunch consisting of McDonald's fries and a Snickers bar. And then I sat my butt on the couch all afternoon and read. Since my husband refuses to let me quit my job and stay home all day eating candy while he supports me in the manner to which I have become accustomed, I will be returning to work tomorrow, a fact about which I am deeply depressed.

Being the "professional volunteer" that I am I can tell you that a life of reading on the couch and facials gets old after a while. I am so bored in fact I am going back to college. = )

I do hate you, but a little less this time. If you had had a Coke with your awesome lunch I would hate you a great deal more (and if you did, I don't want to hear about it).

Thanks for the warning!

I am finding it hard not to hate you only because the "remarkably clear skin and small pores" part. For that, my jealous ass says to you, "Get back to work!"

I was prepared to hate you but knowing that you have to go back to work, all I can do is say, I hope you enjoyed your day off. I don't think I'll get to do any day off gloating until sometime around Thanksgiving.

I cannot hate you, but I can covet your tiny damn pores and your day off.

McDonald's fries and a Snickers bar, eh? You are living large, dear!

Oh, and I just can't wait to see the hits you get for "facial". Just sayin', s'all.

What is it with the husbands who think a second income is necessary? gah! Sometimes I take days off for no other reason than to sit at home and pretend I'm a woman of leisure while my husband is at work and the little-man is at day care.
