Don’t rock the boat

“Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.”
~ William Shakespeare

I have to admit to really liking this super-casual ‘business’ environment we have at work. It’s Monday, I didn’t want to do anything with my hair this morning so I just didn’t, I’m wearing the most comfortable jeans I own, a sweatshirt and again … flip-flops. It doesn’t make me want to work any harder, but at least I am comfortable while I try to locate my motivation and get it in gear.

So I’m out with a girlfriend from work Friday night, sitting at the bar and just kvetching about men and work and this and that when I get a text.

From That Someone. Remember him?

Anyway, he said he’d be in my town Sunday afternoon; he bought more land and there’s a cabin on it that he wants to fix up, so if I’d like I could meet him at Menard’s and hang out for a while.

Oh, does that man know how to live it up! /sarcasm

So I showed up with flat hair, minimal makeup, sweats and flip-flops. I mean really – a date at Menard’s? Hardly worth showering for – but I did put in at least that much effort.

And it was good to see him, even just walking around a home improvement store checking out things like the price of toilets and bedroom windows. It was nice to chat and just wander around and learn exciting things about siding and paneling and for real … toilets.

How can you not envy my life? Seriously.

OK, I gotta get some work done but in the interim … please discuss:
