I was driving, far Far away
I was listening to Audio Books like Why Do I Love These People & Hacking Work
I ate my secret stash of alphabet chocolates, letter by lushious letter
I was taking cell phone photos more than point 'n shoot ones
I was at the beach (aka heaven on earth)
I squeaked my bare feet thru sugar white sand out to clear water - cannot describe that blue/green/clear/aqua color well enough
I heard waves & gulls & saw sandpipers running at the shore
I asked why are there orange rose petals & lots of foot prints at this one spot on the beach
I reconnected with sea oats, lots & Lots of sea oats
I found the National Seashore--closed...am blaming Hurricane Issac entirely
I was at a redeployment homecoming
I tied up a big bunch of red/white/blue, yellow, pink ribbons (pink because there are girls involved who happen to like the color pink--it was easier than finding purple)
I was chasing 'fairies' (the size of G-Baby Girls)
I was inventing new games--like stomp on the stars (OK, not real stars--but if you're 2 yrs old they are?!)
I listened/read a fabulous book about a cute princess cockroach (translated from Spanish)
I found my youngest son has bought the new Christine-mobile (that thankfully is 'not' running yet--nor are any of us...as in away 'from' it?!)
I was shopping, found a Record Shop (Yes, with records & lots & Lots of 'other' stuff - speakers in a vintage suitcase, Yeeesss...Steam Punk sleeping mask--Brick will love this...Tycho on CD, Yes Please--forget those Audio Books, I have 'real' music now...I think I <3 this shop--I must step away & get into the car again...)
I was (rental) bike riding (to the beach)
I was sleeping in many strange beds
I found a new coffee truck & a coffee shop & a beautiful barista-ette & another coffee shop (this last one actually in a hotel, but there were no rooms--that was unfair)
I took a photo of an Eiffel Tower American style
I ate an Hibiscus Breakfast & a Mellow Pizza Salad & at an airstream food truck in a long row where I ate a Beach Dog
I did not want to go home--am I too old to be a Beach Bum I asked myself...sigh...
Orange rose petals, lots of foot prints...
wedding ghost trail
unsafe night driving while cell phone photo taking practices to avoid
there is the biggest full moon out there in that darkness above the road somewheres
I swear--see that bright ball like shape above the oncoming car headlights??!!
Mellow Mushroom Pizza - had a salad, after road snacks you need some greens
Deb's Coffee Drive-Thru...but dude waited on me
taking tips for medical school student daughter
he'll be doing this a long/Long time
(had to turn around & find this coffee truck as the coffee shop Higher Ground is no longer in business but my GPS nor Google Maps know this yet?!)
I'm 'OK' - I have chocolate...my secret stash of alpha-bar is dwindling
but I'm Ok, I have chocolate...
the latest (to be) Christine-mobile (remember Steven King's book--then the movie)
when it's actually running...I will 'not' get near it, especially in the front of that grill (monster)
and Yes I know the original was so said a Plymouth Fury--this will be the newest/latest reincarnation (& I don't use that word loosely...)
Beautiful Barista-ette (her name is Crystal & she has the teeny tinest little green face studs, they're really precious & I don't like face piercings so that's saying something--how did they make them cute?!)

Yes there is a Viking Smoothie
Yes I can use my KeepCup - fruity style

a clawfoot black bathtub
Hibiscus B&B delights
breakfast at Hibiscus Cafe - the Hibiscus breakfast (duh)
gator kitsch--I mean collectable
old coffee bin/coffee machine
metal antique tables that remind me of Norway/Scandinavian design
handmade coffee table, it's all I can do not to go run off & pack it in my car trunk

"will build speakers for food"
(Louisiana - he will build a Fleur de lis & also LSU suitcase speaker I see from his webpage photos, so am guessing you could ask nicely for him to make further Cajun-ness like UL or Mardi Gras...only restriction he has is probably finding an old suitcase & some fabric - how easy, but not cheap, can that all be?!)
local party people need to find out about these
order a truckload
can be plugged in or battery operated
plays from iphone/mp3

just as good SunDog Books is downstairs - books & music, you cannot go wrong...
then add to that fun a row of airstream food trucks with coffee shop/real barista across the street
and white sand beaches nearby - Life is Good...
