Deep (Real Deep) Thoughts of the Day

You know that feeling when you finally get to think?

When there's nothing to clean? straighten up? transport? email? call? text? read? make? create? do? save?bake?...(sing to tune of Dynamite-->) ...It goes on and on and on...

Well, I think that's one of the beautiful things about the beach at this time in my life.

I'm slightly past the infatuation of spending hours making a moat around my brother's and my sand castle or boogie-boarding until dusk. And, I def don't have any lil tikes running around in diapers.

So, I have found there are  options for the beach:

1. People watch-Sunglasses are a must. By the end of the day, Momma and I have pieced together the lives of all surrounding families (ok, and even those not near).
2. Have deep conversations with your Mom, Dad, and Brother.
3. R-E-A-D...but, you need breaks at times.
4. Think. Uninterrupted is the key word.

So, here are some thoughts I had today while shellacked in SPF and digging my toes in the sand.

1. Who knew they made waterproof metal detectors?
2. The umbrella may have been one of God's top 10 gifts to man.
3. I do not like sand on my towel. I do not like sand on my towel. It may be the only thing that has provoked temper tantrums from me in the past decade. I do not like sand on my towel. Sam I am.
4. Moosetracks Ice Cream. I ate you for lunch. I want you for my last meal here on Earth.
5. Jaws-Raise your hand if you have a brother who runs to the beach only to say "This looks like the scene out of Jaws. Northern beach. People having fun. Blissful day."  Before I could comment, he had runaway. I spent the rest of the day peeking at the ocean for a fin.

Moral of the Story: Darn, dinner was amazing. Lime Margarita Wings. Chipotle Calamari. Pulled Pork. Mac and Cheese. Braised Greens. Seared tuna. French Fries. (Note, not all of this was consumed by me, I do not tell a lie.)
