Sweet dreams........

 

Here's proof I really made it!

 
I'm not a big beach person... well, I love the beach. But I don't love it in the middle of the summer in the middle of the day in the middle of the weekend in the middle of a crowd. But I had to get there... at least for a little while... because after all, I'd driven that whole way, hours and hours, right??? So there I am. Proof I was there.
I bought a daily beach pass for $6.00, and lasted about 1 hour, for about 1 day.

But I really had a good time, in spite of my lack of beach time. The house we rent has a lovely back deck on the lagoon, with a canopy and some shade, and I sat there, where I could escape inside to the air conditioning every once in a while. I visited with a lot of friends and family, and we had a lot of laughs. It was worth the drive.

And now, I'm home again. I'd tell you I came home just so I could post this blog, but of course that wouldn't be true. I have work... but even so, being home with no kids (they are still at the beach house) is just like a vacation anyway! My music is on and blasting, I've been playing on the computer for an hour and a half, and I don't have to do a thing about dinner. Unless I want to.

Down the Shore

 

It's a little cramped on a nice weekend.

Saturday :)

It's a beautiful day! I've spent most of it sitting by the pool reading. (My pool is a $9.00 kiddy pool from Toys R Us.) I got a good sun tan -- well, it might actually turn out to be a good sun burn.

But now I've finished my book, and I really enjoyed it. I wish I could read it all night... but it's done... and I thought I'd post before I figure out what to do next.

We thought about going to the local Fair tonight, but really can't bring myself to bother; actually, I don't feel like talking to anyone today, so standing in the beer tent isn't really appealing. It's a good day to be quiet and contemplate and listen to music, stare off into space, dangle my feet in the baby pool and watch the clouds scoot by... and then the sunset... and then maybe a fire, or maybe even just the stars and the fireflies... I'll probably be watching them late into the night, considering I just finished a whole pitcher of ice tea, all by myself!

I haven't been posting as frequently as I should, but I guess you all understand. It's too nice out to stay by the computer too often, and what's there to talk about? And I'm pretty sure most of you aren't checking in to the blog too often anyway... you're out doing something, as well!

So check back tomorrow. Maybe then, I'll have thought about something to write about. Until then, enjoy the Saturday!!!
