I feel tired. Exhausted, actually. My back hurts, my legs ache, I'm falling asleep at my desk at work!!! How is it that I go on a vacation to have freedom from my monotonous job, to rest and relax and just enjoy life, but come home feeling like I never even left? I am experiencing serious Couch Potato Envy right now.
I know it's probably healthier to be out and about, blazing new trails and all that jazz... but, that's not my idea of vacation.
My ideal vacation has been learned... I've seen my mom do it, and I've seen her mom do it, in fact we've all done it together.... Sit in a lawn chair with our legs propped on a cooler to get a little color, with a diet coke in one hand, and a good book in the other. Ok, I know that sounds super white trash, but, just try it for a few hours and you'll be hooked.
Do you know what I did when I first got home from "vacation"? Take a shower? No. Get something to eat? No. Change into clean clothes?!? NO! I plopped myself down on the couch in front of the TV and watched the Food Network. Yeah I know, you're thinking "Who does that?" I do, people! I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation!

Oh I totally get it. You wanna talk about white trash, we just gulp the diet coke from a two liter...and we all have our own two liters and it is AMAZING. The best vacation ever is just staying and home and not letting anyone know you are there....in pjs all day and watching The Office all night. Ah yeah!
I totally agree. I love going off and doing adventurous things, but I am completely okay with vacations that involve doing pretty much nothing.
I think we should start a movement and call it "Second Vacation" - it's kind of like the Hobbits' "Second Breakfast". All in favor, say "Aye".
Can I go on that vacation with you... I don't have the Food Network!
