I’m taking a long weekend and going to visit the parents. Why? This house-owning, job-doing, regular-clothes-wearing, garden-making, normal-conversation-having, food-cooking and all around general adult responsibility has me worn out. I want (need) a break!
I get to go be (something of a) kid and turn off my phone, let someone else cook for me, take too many naps, lay out in the sun, read ’til my eyes bleed and just plain old check out until Monday.
P.S. These two dudes have been hanging out together in my garden the past three mornings. This can only mean one thing–I have a resident gay jay couple. Fabulous!
My lovely blogging friend Fran pointed out that male and female bluejays look alike, so it turns out I just have a resident jay couple. Still fabulous, just not quite as fabulous…
The jays are beautiful! But I don’t think you can assume they’re gay. We’ve had lots of jays in are yard over the years and I’ve never seen any difference in male/female like you see in cardinals. Not sure, but I think they look alike. So cool though. Have fun with your Folks!!
Ohh, had to wikipedia it–you’re so right, the males and females do look the same. I had just assumed blue jays and cardinals were similar in style with brilliant males and duller females. Now I know!
Have a great time with your family! Love the jays, even though I kinda still wish they were flamboyantly gay haha
Enjoy the family time! Its’ always nice to go home and let the parents take care of you
Good for you for taking a break! You definitely deserve it! I love birds and used to love going bird watching (yes, a nature nerd) those blue jays are adorable!
Have a GREAT restful long weekend with your parents. LOL at the discussions whether the jays are gay or not. Hilarious. Whatever their orientation, they’re GORGEOUS!!! Happy recouperating.
oh, those birds ARE fabulous!!
enjoy your much needed break, my dear! I am feeling the same way, completely wiped out! a break is in order here too, but we have to wait a couple more weeks. XXO
Enjoy your time at home with the parents! No matter how old we are, we are never too old for some pampering
!
Go relax, let your parents cook for you and spoil you. I agree, being a grown up is tiring!
Your blue jay comment had me laughing. I haven’t seen a blue jay in forever. I occasionally spot cardinals but not very often. I also live in the city and as far as birds go it’s mostly pigeons. Sick.
aww the birds are so beautiful! and yes, take a break and enjoy the heck out of it!
Sometimes you just need to take a break and totally unplug. I hope you have a great time doing just that! Enjoy your time off!
Oh and, dont forget about sunscreen. If you read my blog a few days ago then you know I got a Sunburn last week. My face, arms and hands were all burnt! Yeah.. and now my face and arms are PEELING. I look like a mess right now with my dry face… haha! I learnt my lesson though!!
Good to get away. Have fun relaxing!
Hope you have a great weekend! Being an adult can be tiring!
We all need a break sometime. Have a good weekend!
Hope you’ve been having a lovely relaxed weekend at your parents’ house – nothing better than that for a break from being grown up! Those bluejays are gorgeous, we don’t have them here, gay or not
I feel the same way when I go back home! It’s good to have your parents around to take care of you. For example, my mom is visiting me, so when I got injured in the kitchen again I ran upstairs screaming, “OW! OW! MOM, IT HURTS SO BAD, OW!!!!!!!!” So then I got to lay on the bed while she tested my fingers to see if they were broken (they weren’t).
There’s nothing better than a parent around when you’re sick or injured! I never miss my mom quite so much as when there isn’t someone to make me soup while I lie in bed and complain about everything hurting. (And glad your mom was there to divert a pain disaster ;D )
enjoy family time lady!
