That's me. Home from the beach and cranky about it, as always.
We left here two weeks ago at 4 a.m. and the temperature here in Northern Virginia was 47. I had to turn the heat on in the car. When we arrived in Myrtle Beach 8 hours later it was 87. Thankfully. Of course yesterday, it was 100 degrees here and I was in West Virginia, at a craft show, in the middle of a field, sweating like a whore in church, as Teener would say.
The weather was glorious, a little rain on Sunday morning, then nothing but blue skies and warm water. The only problem was, I had an allergic reaction to the sun tan lotion and broke out in a hideous rash. So next year it will be either a compounded sort or one that Neutrogena makes at about $50 a bottle. GRRR.
I discovered a new pimento cheese quite by accident while in MB. I sent the warden to the grocery store when we first got there and it was on the list. He, as usual, got his tongue twisted when asking where to find it and he asked for Palmetto Cheese. They actually had it in the gourmet section of the store. He bought it and brought it back to the condo. OMG. It's fabulous and addicting. They have a web site, and they are on FB. If you can't find it in your local Harris Teeter, they will ship it to you and it's worth every penny.
Check out this store, asummerhome.com if you want some beachy furnishings for your house. I was ready to buy all new furniture for my house while I was there. Then I was ready to buy a house there and put the furniture in it. I need to move there.
I have pictures of Puffin the traveling Pig that I'll post soon and then she's back to Tennessee for her next adventure. Sponge Bob accompanied her on her trip and they had a blast.
So, after loads of laundry, all sorts of computer issues and 3 hours on the phone with Dell, cuddling the needy cats and getting life back to normal, I will buy a lottery ticket and return to work.
Carolina will always be on my mind.

So glad you had a wonderful time. I have been spending quite a bit of time at various beaches, and I've come to one conclusion. I want to retire by the ocean. Plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend!
I hate going home after being where I want to live and it's not home.
ReplyDeleteYep, I completely agree with Leann above.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of Puffin and SB...and the shot of P in the pool was completely awesome. I had to study it to see what it all was. :) Of course, I am blind, especially in the morning.
I think it's so great that you have the opprotunity to vacation at the same place each year. I always wanted that chance.
I hope you are doing and feeling well and that work is off your a** at the moment.
Big hugs, friend. :)
I can't believe it's been 3 months since I left for the beach. I can close my eyes and imagine, though.
ReplyDeleteHope your rash didn't last for long. Hope your memories stay with you for a while and that work issues disappear. Right, huh?
