Dog Hair Is An Accessory: What's Left Of Summer

You know what makes me depressed? Staying in on a sunny day.

I mean working in an office on a nice day kills everyone's soul a little but I'm talking weekends. Or holidays that everyone in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere (yes. the whole world) gets off except my company. Or when Tom's super lazy and won't get out of bed for 19 hours except to go to the bathroom (that's not even an exaggeration of this past Sunday.)

I got blog stuff to do. Enough that I could spend an entire day doing it. Enough that I feel like I should spend an entire day doing it. But then I think to my wayyy-too-pale-for-August self,

I need to get outside.

p.s. yesterday was my 100th post! {insert party horn and salsa lady emoji here} wooo!

I've found that if I stay in for too long on the weekends Monday's are horrific. Like get nothing done, hate on myself a bunch, be so cranky even wine can't fix it, horrific. And then the trend continues during the week because I sit at my desk and stare out my window. Which has the blinds mostly drawn because of the glare. wompwomp.

view from my chair. sick life I know.

I think all this bleckk has translated to my blog. I feel like I'm not performing at 100% and that's dumb. I have so many to-do items that I keep letting more build up. So sorry for being lame but I'm not gonna suck anymore.

I am blaming it on the amount of time I have to be indoors. I'm not meant to be indoors. It's not like I'm trying to go camping and hiking and shit. I'm talking out by a pool with a drink in my hand. Or out in the backyard playing with Lil while literally anyone is BBQing.

I'm wearing a bathing suit I swear.

I should not be a resident of Connecticut. It's fucking cold here. It snows here. And unless it's December 24, 25th or 31st snow should hang out with it's friend Alaska and leave me the fuck out of it.

SO I've resolved to do more sun related activities.

That means beach, BBQ, wine tastings, walks/runs with Lil, picnics, beers at baseball games, weekend trips. And guess what I'm doing this weekend? ALL OF THAT. Literally all of it. I'm so pumped about it. I mean wekeend trips I'm kinda half assing since we have two day trips planned instead of one getaway but whatever guys stop raining on my sandy, boozy, burger parade. Actually that sounds like a horrible parade. Well, really it just sounds like a horrible burger.

WINE PICNICS = LOVE

ANYWAY a very quick explanation of tomorrow's fun. I have Merchon from Merk and Her Mastiff guest posting!! She's super cute and she has an adorable pup to match. And the reason I have her guest posting is because I got an incredible offer to be a VIP guest at a Saratoga horse race by the amazing people at America's Best Racing. I'm SO PUMPED. I have ridden horses all my life but I've never been to a race. And I will be meeting jockeys and betting on horses and wearing a floppy hat all day!! I'll be back Monday with the recap!! Also I'm gonna make a fancy hat so we'll see how that goes.

Summer makes all bloggers shitty bloggers. We got stuff to do yo! Why can't I just tell Siri what to say and then that bitch does the hard work to churn out a post! Have fun this weekend. I'll be at Olive Garden crying about how I haven't made enough money. All day and night Saturday and Sunday. This is the first whole weekend I've worked in months!

Yay for more playing, less working! We are so not meant to be inside all day. Happy 101st post!

Ahhh this sounds like so much fun! And we have a lot of sun and a lot to do outside down here in Bama, you know, where I live, where you can visit any time your little heart desires....just sayin...

come down here! the only snow we get is like one inch and then everyone freaks out and shuts down everything for like 3 days and you just sit inside and drink.

It was 106 here in DFW yesterday. I walked outside and felt my arm hair burning.

I like getting outside, too, when it's nice out! But, sometimes I hope for rain so I can have an excuse to say inside. :)

At least you have some trips planned! I'm still attempting to convince Gabriel it will be ok to go to the lake for an overnight stay. It sounds like you will have a blast!

hell yes!! being outside does a body good. I get real crabby and sad if i am cooped up on the weekends in the summer.
Casey AslanAugust 1, 2013 at 12:12 PM
UGH! Wishing I wasn't working this weekend so I could see your face!

Being outside in the sun makes me 100000x happier! We've had lots of rain down South this summer so I've been dying for some sunny beach time! Gotta get out and enjoy it before its all of a sudden winter.

We should start a too pale for August club. My lack of color is pathetic.
kathy@vodka and sodaAugust 1, 2013 at 7:19 PM
i'm with you; whenever it's sunny and warm and bright outside, i look out my office window and feel like banging my head on the desk. we have some brutal winters in canada and now that it's august, i'm NOT looking forward to the snow that i know is chomping at the bit to shit all over us.

Happy 100 posting :) And that VIP horse thing sounds amazing. I am obsessed with horses because I am convinced they understand me and communicate with me too (long story) but amazing you get to do that! Any excuse to wear a floppy hat!
MerchonAugust 1, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Thanks for having me! Have a blast tomorrow!! Can't wait to see the floppy hat!
UnknownAugust 1, 2013 at 9:09 PM
YES!! Get out and enjoy that sun. Oh and I totally believe that you are wearing a swimsuit!

Have an amazing time at the races! I went to the races for the first time when I was 13 and, sadly, haven't been able to go since. But it was so fun! I helped my mom bet on horses :D You'll definitely have to share a picture of your floppy hat!
