Okaaay...vacation's over...back to reality.
And by "reality" I mean...work. 😭😂
These last few days were totally crazy! I didn’t even have time to post anything! Can you believe that? Me? Silent? 😂
When I’m in Austria, I have soooo much free time, probably because it’s sooo far from my hometown and not many people visit.
But the moment I get near my family and friends?
BOOM! No time to eat, sleep, breathe...not even pee in peace! 😂
But hey...I’m a nice person (sometimes 😇), and honestly…the place we stayed at is kinda magical. Super chill, lots of nature… and probably also the beer helped a bit. 😂
So let’s talk about Friday.
I had this genius idea to celebrate a little.
Plan was simple (HAHAHA)
At 2 p.m., coworkers come. They said they can’t stay long 'cause they have to drive back to Austria.
At 7 p.m., my family + some friends.
Why split? Because my coworkers speak German, and except for my mom, my family speaks zero German. I didn’t want anyone sitting around like confused potatoes while others are chatting away. 🥔😂
So, smart me made two shifts. Boom. Perfect plan.
BUT. Which party EVER goes as planned?? 😅 Let’s just say...my husband had a migraine the night before (and NO, not from alcohol, okay?! 😂) So I let him sleep till 1 p.m. because I’m a wonderful wife and also didn’t want to be murdered by a headachey zombie. 🧟♂️
So I did everything. Shopping, salad, veggies, cleaning, organizing, chopping, slicing, dancing (okay not dancing).
And then I was like…WAIT. WHO’S GONNA GRILL?! 😱
I looked at my sleeping husband, asked him nicely, and he was like "yeah...sure..." but he looked like he might collapse mid-barbecue.
And THEN…like a superhero…my mother-in-law calls: "Hey girl, how’s it going? Did you clean? Buy everything? Who’s grilling??"
Me: "Ummm… well... hubby’s sleeping..."
Her: "I’ll do it! Or wait…why not your father-in-law? He can grill! It’s just meat and fire!" 😂
25 minutes later…
BOOM! They show up at my door like a barbecue rescue squad. Big smiles.
She’s like: “Your father-in-law is the BBQ king now!”
I was like: YESSSS 🙌 I’m saved!
Party time!🎉
Coworkers arrive…
They’ve NEVER been to this place before and their faces were like:
"Wait...THIS exists in Slovenia?? And you never invited us??"
Me: "Soooorry, it's my secret paradise! 😂"
And of course…First question: “Where’s the food? We’re starving’
I was 100% sure the Austrians would be the hungry ones.
NOPE. My Slovenian coworkers were ready to eat the table! 😂
Food = 10/10
Father-in-law = BBQ MasterChef 👨🍳🔥
They said: “We’ll stay till 5.”
Me: “Cool.”
Clock: 9 P.M. 😂
And OMG… watching Slovenian and Austrian people try to talk to each other with beer as their translator? PURE COMEDY. Nobody understood anything, but everyone had the best time. Apparently, beer is the real Duolingo. 😂🍻
Party = AMAZING
Me the next morning = DEAD.
Couldn’t move. Couldn’t blink. Couldn’t human. Stayed in bed all day like a leftover pancake. 🥞😂
Sunday came...our last vacation day...
WHY does it always go so fast?!
The pain of knowing Monday I need to work? Ouch. 😭
But hey…memories forever in my heart ❤️ (and phone gallery 😂).
Now it’s my third day back at work and guess what? I WANNA GOOOO BAAAAAACK! 😩 Dear boss… just one more week? Pretty please? 😂
But no worries…September vacation is already booked and it’s gonna be EPIC! 😎🎒🌍
Wiiiiii!
What about you guys? Where did you go this summer? Or where are you planning to escape to? Tell meee! 😁☀️
