We are Home... Safe and Sound
2008-04-20 14:35:00 Home... ahhh. This morning all I've managed to do thus far is unpack the seashells, sip coffee, upload the last of the photos from the camera, sip more coffee, upload all the vacation photos to an online site for developing, sip coffee, update all my websites with an "I'm home!" message and uh... sip some more coffee. But it's only 8:00 am so I'm doing well. :) Last night when we arrived More About: Home , Sound , Safe
Not Much To Say....
2008-04-19 14:16:00 We're in a hotel room in Nashville... Coffeekid and I are the only ones up though. My husband said he wanted to get an early start this morning but I learned years ago to let what he says go in one ear and out the other. He'll sleep till 9:00 this morning if I let him (even though he has his cellphone by his head and could have set an alarm...). Yesterday when I checked out of our South
Dolphins and Hoochie Momma's
2008-04-18 14:15:00 This morning as I sip my coffee I have the balcony doors open to the ocean. The crashing of the waves is so common place in my subconscious now it will soon sound too quiet when we are on the road traveling through South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee and I hear the hum of the tires instead of the surf. Every morning this week I've watched for dolphins and whales as we've seen the More About: Dolphins
Random Thoughts As I Gaze Out to the Ocean
2008-04-18 01:21:00 We were blessed with the most perfect last 'full' day here we could have asked for. From 9:30 am - 3:00 pm I never left the cabana except to dip my toes in the ocean or take pictures of my husband and kids. The sun, breeze and surf were perfect. So perfect that twice, tears came to my eyes. I love the ocean so. As Jody stated in a comment below... "but you just got there!" - so it seems...

It's our official last day...
2008-04-17 14:43:00 We leave for home tomorrow so today is our official 'last' day. It's beautiful and warm... I have the patio door open next to me and I almost cry to think we have to go home tomorrow. None of us is ready to leave. Even though we currently live in the Midwest, we have have the ocean in our blood as we both feel such a pull towards it. I know for a fact I do have the love of the ocean in my More About: Official
The Search Continues...
2008-04-16 16:16:00 Still here... hanging out in the room as it's still a bit too chilly to head down to the pool or beach. The housekeeping staff came at 9:20 wanting to do the room already. Good gravy! They came early yesterday and I had to apologize and say "No, the kids are still sleeping..." and although it was a different housekeeper today (more friendly than yesterday) we again had to say "No, the kids More About: Search
Tuesday on Vacation
2008-04-16 14:13:00 It was far too cold and windy to hang out on the beach yesterday but we braved it for a few minutes anyway. Here is Kat chasing after some birds on the beach. No matter how many times I watch taffy being made I still find it interesting. Yesterday afternoon we played tourist for awhile and then ate at Joe's Crab Shack.

Coffee On the Beach
2008-04-15 12:56:00 I can't say it's 'joyful' to be awakened by hearing another rooms morning 'wake up call' from the front desk at 6:15 am but then again, if I hadn't been awakened by their phone ringing I might have missed this; So in the end, once again, things happened as they should and I enjoyed a glorious sunrise.

Shopping and Pizza... and Bowling?
2008-04-15 02:31:00 The day is ending. As I sit in the living room I can hear the roar of the ocean outside of the patio doors to my right. I'm on the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table and my husband sits in the chair next to me watching the World's Dirtiest Jobs on television. One kid is watching tv and two more are down swimming. For perhaps the hundredth time today I'm thankful and grinning ear to More About: Shopping , Pizza , Bowling
No Ghost Stories Tonight...
2008-04-15 02:16:00 I know a lot of people love to come here and see I've updated some of my 'ghostie' stories... you know the "Hmmm... that was strange" things that happen around our home once in a while or when I was younger. There have been a couple times though where we've seen something 'strange' outside as a child and later had a few things even stranger happen as an adult.

2008-04-11 18:05:00 Or... you don't want to share it? LOL. I posted this morning about the first 12 'odd' foods or ways I eat foods after I picked apart a few little Snickers candy bar bites this week.

Does This Seem Weird to You? How We Eat Foods.
2008-04-11 14:12:00 I have to admit that I have some quirks when it comes to food... but since it's 'me' eating what 'I' want, and probably have all my life, it just doesn't seem weird to me until someone points it out. Two nights ago I was craving something sweet and other than leftover birthday cake there was nothing to munch on.

Growth for Growths Sake Can be Scary
