Ladies of Leisure

I am sad to say that I did not win Powerball last night. I didn't want to win to become the next feature on "The Fabulous Life of..." or to spend a small fortune on a castle or a McLaren F1. I wanted to win so I could become a lady of leisure.

It is a well documented fact that I hate my job, as most people do. One of my favorite quotes is from Drew Carey "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar."

My sister Eboogie (name has been changed to protect the innocent) and I are currently discussing this very topic as neither of us is working today. I have the day off because I am leaving for San Francisco tomorrow and she has it off because she is pretending to being sick.

Today, I have time to do all those things we never have time to do. I got up at 8, ate breakfast and watched reruns of Saved by the Bell and Dawson's Creek. At 10, I decided to hit the gym. Then Eboogie invited me over for some girl chat and Hershey's with Almonds. My kind of morning.

I have to do some errands to get ready for my trip: shopping, pick up my prescription, laundry...the usual. I have a couple of "adult" calls to make about insurance and other such boring things. But other then that, the most important decision I have to make today is where to eat lunch.

When I am not working, I am way more relaxed and way less of a crabby bitch. I feel that this benefits more then just myself, so point of fact: me being a lady of leisure really helps us all. There is no stress factor, no worries. It's all good.

I don't have to be back in the office until Wednesday, so I will continue to have a good time until then. And hopefully Eboogie's fake disease gets worse so she doesn't have to go back either. Until then, it's off to lunch.
