Down in the Dumps

If I were an interior designer and I had the assignment of doing up the master bathroom for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I’d make sure there would be two toilets facing eachother. This way I wouldn’t have to keep doing the “spin puke/poop” move with only one toilet. I seemed to get a pretty nasty stomach virus last tuesday that knocked me out cold and cause me to lose 4 days of work, boo-hoo, I know. The real problem was the anal-leakage burning my nether regions and inner thighs. Then having to miraclulously jump off and spin my body around to let my stomach let go all my liquid insides to spite me. As if just standing up to run to the bathroom wouldn’t cause me to feel nausious enough, I have to perform acrobatics to enhance the puke feeling. Well 6 days later, I finally made it back to work. No, the place didn’t fall down without me. Was there a backlog of work building up while I was away? No. I sit here bored, and emotionally confused as to what the heck I am doing here.

If you have never experienced any of the above and would like to know what it’s all about then by all means go here:

Weekend Like No Other

I wisked Sara away this weekend on a much need break from her hectic tax season. We drove about 3 hour out from Chicago to a little place called Sagatuck, MI on the other side of the lake from us. It was a ‘perfect’ weekend, with the average daily temp around 80 degrees. We spent so much time relaxing we don’t know how on earth we will be able to get back to the crazy city grind. We left friday afternoon and arrived at the Parkhouse Bed and Breakfast where we stayed in the Pansy suite. The place was great and the breakfasts were huge. On saturday we woke up and went to the beach, came home and each got a hour massage, jacuzzi, then a nice dinner. We headed back to the beach for sunset where we took our famous ‘praise’ picture for Aunt Bonnie’s collection. Then we got some ice cream at a little stand and then got in the jacuzzi again. Man saturday was rough!
We drove back to the windy city which happened to be super windy on sunday. Ozzie called us up and we went to Evanston for a fun cookout on the beach to top off our relaxing weekend. If only every weekend could be this stress free!
