I'm packing up to go to the beach.
It's a bit earlier than in recent years. We had just about sworn off going before the end of June. Seaweed, sandfleas, mosquitos... But this year one of us is preggers. She's 6 months right now. It's a good time to go. None of us (much less her) want to take an 8 months pregnant person to the beach in Texas in August... I haven't had much anticipation this year... or maybe it's just that I've been too busy and had too many people in my house this entire month. *shrug* I am looking forward to it right now. Now that it's tomorrow. Ha. This time tomorrow I'll be salty, sandy, and drunk. And in the company of women. Only women. I have been feeling entirely too testosteronized of late.... what with my brother, my dad, and my older son taking turns staying with me, my husband, and my other son. That's a 5 to 1 man to woman ratio. I'm the one woman. It will be good to be a girl again. Anyway, I'll be gone 4 days and 3 nights. Packed so far: Bathing suits 1 & 2 cover-up beach towel 2 pair shorts 2 hippie skirts 1 leopard-print shorter skirt for the one night out at Sharkey's A cloth belt came with the skirt. I'm thinking I might do my hair up and tie it 'round instead. 1-2-3-4-5-6... 7... 8... ? tops. Mostly tanks. A couple thin tees. All the clothes are Mix n match, according to my mood. 6 pair panties 2 bras 4 pair shoes- 3 flippies and one flat sandals. Different colors for the different mix n match outfits. Oh yes and the jeweled black stack flippies. For the going out night. 1 night shirt 1 pink jersey pajama set. Ugly but boughten at the big sale. I'm sure I paid $3 or some shit for them. They are comfy... a variety of baubles to go with the mix n match outfits sun visor beach bag large beach mug beach chair 3 magazines (More, OK, and HomePlans) sunscreen-face and regular shampoo, conditioner liquid soap, face soap moisturizer, makeup body spray, hairspray hair brush, toothbrush toothpaste, floss pre- and post-brushing mouth rinse deodorant emery boards cocoa butter lotion for at the end of the day Camera, extra batteries for it charger for my phone Fan Boombox earphones sleep CD sleep mask roast beef slices gorgenzola crumbles Hummus Pita chips bananas jalepeno & queso potato chips (other food will be provided) 5 bottles wine, 1 quart Tito's Handmade Vodka ~~~~~~~~~~ Did I forget anything? Do you think I can live off this stuff for 4 days????
