No no no... and YES... okay... forget this already...😊
Shitty weather. That’s all I’ll say. 🙁
Did I start vacation on Friday? No… wait… Thursday? Yes. Yes. Thursday. My memory is trash, but don’t worry. Totally normal. Apparently, I have a birthday tomorrow and I’ll be a little bit older. My husband says, “That’s life.” But I’m not buying it. 😏
I still believe my mom lied and I wasn’t born in 1991. Nope. I’m sure I came to this world 5 years later. I feel 29, not 34. My body screams “34!” but my brain whispers, “No girl... your mom faked birth certificate... you're still 29...” 😊
Yes yes... dreaming is allowed. Don't tell me otherwise! 😎
Thursday + Friday = cleaning mode activated. Apartment was shining, music was blasting, and vacation had officially started. Outside was hot, summer was calling. But nooo... no sea this year. Croatia in the summer? Too many people. Nope nope. I wanted peace.
So we ran off to Slovenia. To a magical pond in the middle of nowhere. His parents’ little hidden paradise. Just birds, frogs, fish... no humans.💚 Heaven.
And guess what? They built this cute wooden house there, with a bed and even a shower! Yeah, smart plan from the in-laws. They knew if they built that house, we’d come more often. And... it worked. 🎯
Saturday morning:
We arrived. Unpacked. First thing I did? Opened a beer. Flopped on a deckchair. Opened Spotify.
Vacation - ON.
But then... mistake alert. I posted a photo on social media. “Chillin' in Sloveniaaaa...”
BIG. FAT. MISTAKE.
Phone rings. “Sis! You homeee? Got cold beer? I’m coooming!”
Okay... it's my brother. I like him. 😅
Phone rings again.
“My girl!! You homeee? Got beer? I'm coming!”
Alright alright... it’s my friend. Haven’t seen her in a while. Sure. Come.
I thought they’d stay, like, one hour. Maybe two. But nooo... two hours later, my brother’s on his third beer. (He promised one. Lies. He’s my brother. Should’ve known. 😆)
We’re laughing, chatting, and BAM! Suddenly...PARENTS APPEAR. His parents. My parents. Surprise family reunion... 😳
Okay okay... be nice, smile, don’t scream. They stayed 2 hours. They probably felt the vibe and politely disappeared. Thank you. 😊
8 p.m.
Two cars drive in...Ummm... what the...??
FOUR FRIENDS. “Giiirl! We came for cold beeeer!!”
What is happening?!
One photo and everyone’s like, “She posted this for us! She wants visitors!”
Okay okay... maybe I do love you guys... just a little. 😊
GAME NIGHT started.
UNO. Poker. Madness. My brother was wasted, no way he could drive. So I called his lovely girlfriend—aka, my one of my favorite person. She joined the party. 🥰
At 3 a.m. they finally left. I face-planted into bed. Slept till 11. Felt alive. Fresh like a salad.
Sunday plan - Chill with my bestie. Girls' night. Relaxing. Just us.
BUT NOPE.
Brother left his car here and came back around 1 p.m. “Let’s have a beer?”
Ok... just one...Then we talked. Then my friend came.
One beer.
Two beers.
Boom—party started again.
And then... 6 p.m.... phone rings.
“WE'RE COMIIING! Got beer??”
Oh. My. God. 😅 Of course I got beer... what kind of monster do you think I am?
More drinks. More games. More people.
I thought, “Let’s play poker. I’ll win. They’ll leave.”
But nope. Poker lasts forever when people are drunk. Like... forever forever. 🃏⏳
So I said, “F** it. I’ll drink and win.”*
Spoiler alert: I drank and lost.
And the winner was...My drunk brother. HOW?!How does a drunk person win poker?!! 😩 He took our money and disappeared like a legend.
At 4 a.m., I was done. KO. In bed. Out cold. 😴
Monday.
Me and hubby: "NOPE. Door stays locked. We’re staying in bed."
He watched Tour de France 🚴♂️ I read my book 📖
We cuddled. Drank coffee. No beer. No people.
Just peace. AND IT WORKED! People tried... they drove by... but saw the gate locked, car hidden... and LEFT.
Mwahahaha 😈✨ Masterplan - SUCCESS.
We stayed in bed for TWO DAYS. I mean... it's vacation. And it's raining. What else would you do? F*** it. 😄
And don’t get me wrong—I love my people. Truly. It’s amazing they all showed up. Means they love me too. 😊
But listen… apparently I’m not 21 anymore and two-day parties are killing me softly. 😂
But guess what? I’m fresh today. Doors are open again.
Brother and friends already calling... “We’re coming tonight!” 😄
The weather still sucks, but... WHO CARES. We’ll make it fun anyway.
AND GUYS... GUYS... LISTEN UP...🎂 I HAVE BIRTHDAY TOMORROOOWWW!!! WUHUHUHU!!! 🎉
I’ll be 29! (Yes, in my mind... not on my birth certificate... but that’s a minor detail.)
Wish me luck...Because I might be screaming, laughing, and partying for three more days.
Will I survive?
Stay tuned. 😉
