I'm at the beach, playas. Having a marvy time so far, and loving this weather! Y'all know I'm a cool weather kind of girl, and it hasn't even gotten up to 70 degrees yet today. [happy sigh] So, here are some other things you oughta know.
It was my birthday yesterday. And I turned 21(+6). It's weird to think that it was only last year that I was spending my birthday at a show downtown Winston-Salem for Yearling's CD release. THAT seems like only yesterday. Anyway.... I made an observation to Molly that as I get older, my birthdays have become increasingly more expensive. FOR ME. And I'm good with that - I just want to make sure people have a good time! So, have that extra glass of wine and buy the jumbo pack of cookies. It's on me!!!!!!!
I bought a GPS. In celebration of my birthday, of course. And evidently we're supposed to be stimulating the economy. Now, I don't know about the economy - but I certainly feel stimulated. Wow, how did I ever get anywhere without it? I have gone back and forth between dubbing it "Vikki" or naming it "Frankie". Most times I just call it "Frickie". And that works well for us all the way around. She got me here to this wireless hotspot in Southport, VA! Sweet.
I'M AT THE BEACH!!!!! Yup. Did you hear? For the rest of the week.
IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY!!! Did I mention that?
I'M AT THE BEACH FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
We took my Mom out on Sunday for mother's day to a Japanese Food Steakhouse. You know - the kind where they cook in front of you? The next table over there was this couple with a screaming-tantrum-throwing toddler. It was relentless. We're not talking fussy crying. We're talking shrill pissed off screaming FIT. The parents were doing NOTHING to console the child, or deal with the bad behavior - apparently oblivious to everyone else's bleeding ears. My mom looks at me with her crazy eyes, and I know she's on the verge of pulling out her hair. And THEN, we hear this man from across the other table say - "Do you think you can take him away somewhere? We're trying to enjoy a nice meal here, too." Anyway - this whole showdown/fight ensued. He was harsh, and they were pissed. It was very dramatic. But it did the trick because the couple left the table and joined another group across the restaurant. I KINDA felt bad for them. But on the other hand? I didn't. And I love shrimp sauce. Just sayin'.
Shake it like a salt shaker? Also while we were at the restaurant, my Mom made the somewhat fatal decision of telling the chef that it was my birthday. And they come out with this drum, and sing happy birthday, and then he tells me to stand up. So, I stand. And then he says - "Now. SHAKE IT LIKE A SALT SHAKER!" So. I did. Fat white girl got the moves, yo.
Today, if it ever warms up over 70 degrees, I intend to spend the WHOLE day on the beach!!! It's time for my annual BURN, and I just so love spending time on the beach. In the water. Playing Scrabble. Napping. I'm on vacation - so technically I can do whatever I want, right?
Right.
Wish you were here!!!!!! Yup. All of you.
