Hi Honey, I’m home…

And I don’t want to be. I want to be sitting on the beach. Staring at the waves. Plotting. Dreaming. Doing nothing. Real life is hard to deal with.

Have to go out looking for a new car. My minivan bit the dust and they can’t find out what’s wrong with it. It just doesn’t start whenever it feels like it. We’ve dumped so much money into it, we’re finally going to say Uncle. But I don’t want a new car. I just don’t care about cars. I just want one that runs. And one that’s red. The only thing I care about. I do like sitting up high like you do in a minivan or in my dh’s truck. We rented a car to drive on vacation…and I just could not get used to the low to the ground thing. And it was a big old buick something or other. White :roll:

Have to go back to work. Get back into the getting the youngest up for school each day. Hear about the oldest getting stitches in his chin (when he fell at 3 in the morning. No, I didn’t ask…would you??). Bills to pay. Laundry to do. House to clean. Groceries needed.

And writing. I must get back into my writing routine. I plotted a lot on vacation. Wrote down notes. But not a WORD written on my proposal.

I think I’ll be crabby this week… :biteme:

Another Day in Paradise

Well, really…I know it’s not nice to brag…but… I love my life…morefishing

Notice he’s holding a really big pole. Yes, he had to get a long pole while we were down here. A really long pole… Similar to the The Big Deck. :roll: Males.

moon and wine

Then we ended the day with a dinner of red fish (which he caught…can’t get much fresher than that) and green beans with almonds, and fresh dinner rolls. Yum. Out on the balcony watching the sunset. Then we watched the moon come up and drank a little okay, okay…a LOT of wine.

We added two more days onto our stay here at the beach…since we were originally supposed to be in New Orleans the end of this week for a conference. We’re at Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island. Very nice. It’s out of Destin, but way not as crowded. So anyway, now we’re headed out on Saturday to drive home. But in the meantime…more fishing, reading, sunning, eating…and wine.

Someone Has to Do It!

So we’re on vacation. In Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island out of Destin Florida. Having a great time. This is how my dh is spending his vacation…Fishing, fishing, fishing fishing

This is how I’m spending my vacation. With a book. Or I’m on the beach reading, watching the dh fish and looking up every once in awhile and saying “that’s a big one, honey.” lazy days

Here is a view down the beach. Notice the distinct lack of people. It’s just wonderful here. Hardly anyone around. Almost deserted beaches. Deserted Beach

Well, someone has to do it…might as well be me…

It is hard to find gasoline around here. We filled up inland about 60 miles on the drive down. Finally found some gas at a Shell station and filled up again yesterday. Drove down the beach looking at huge beach homes to see how the other half lives. I don’t know though. The pressure of worrying about hurricanes each year would really be something, wouldn’t it?? We were supposed to be heading for New Orleans on Wednesday. Obviously that’s not happening. We could only get the condo until Thursday, so we’re either going to try and find something else for a few more days, or head back then. I’ll be back posting either this weekend, or on Monday.

No, I’m not getting any writing done. Shame on me. But I’m reading a lot, and I’m having a nice relaxing time. Our work is so crazy busy in the summertime, I really needed this break.
