And Fun Was Had By Most

Beachy Mimi had fun!! But, BM almost always has fun.

Spring breaker update. More incoming today. Lots of drinking on the beach. Kids trying to hide booze. Adults all laughing because their hiding is so obvious.

I actually went to the beach to sit of one of the precious beach chairs. The beach guy gave me a deal. I guess because I am so old. I am old. It was hot out there!
Couldn't smile at him when I thanked him--snaggled toothed and all. Not sure I was looking in his direction since I can't see. No wonder he gave me a deal.

Saw dolphins up close. I am so easily entertained.

Reminder to parents: Think twice before letting you kiddos go with a group to the beach on Spring Break. I'm just sayin'. I could blackmail LOTS of people with my camera. But I wouldn't do that. Really. I wouldn't. It is much more fun to watch when it is not your kid.

Most everyone was having a great time today. All ages laughing, digging in the sand, swimming, playing beach games. All except for Mr. Grump.

Bless him. I wonder why he chooses the beach to hang out if he is so happy-challenged?

Oh! Gotta go. Streakin' on the beach...NOT ME...the kids. Gotta to watch from my balcony.

First It Was A Tooth...Then...

My contact. Right into thin air.

I took out the older pair and tossed them (it was time) and put in the spare pair since I only have a few days left. Never made it to my eye.

So, I'm blind, toothless and not tanned.

We have a new batch of spring breaker people this week. Like thousands more. My entertainment has been to watch the beach guy running them away from his precious beach chairs.

Tomorrow is the infamous day for the Pub Crawl. I think they call it something else here. Not that I would know about that or anything.

I have a real desire to go to the Irish Pub and donate my bra to the collection on the bar.

I KNOW!

Shocking, isn't it!

Not half as shocking as PU saying jackass at the dinner table.

That was a new one!

In her defense, she was trying to describe one of the guys on Dancing With the Stars.

I think we got it!!

You all don't forget your green!!

Danger! Boring Post Here

I wish that lazing on the beach made me a clever blogger.

It doesn't.

I pretty much don't have anything riveting to tell you.

I have been reading, though. I just finished OUT OF CAPTIVITY by the three guys that were held for l,967 days (that's 5 1/2 years) by bad guys in the Colombian jungle. Very good.

I also finished Monday Night Jihad and Blown Coverage by Jason Elam and Steve Yohn. Very good.

Next I am going to start a book that Glen Beck recommended by Andrew Gross. I'll let you know.

The skinny spring break hotties are still on our beach. It's supposed to be private but the management said there are too many of them to shoo. Was I ever that young?

Computer Reunited with BM

Peeps, that just sounds a little freaky.

However, today, after flying into a foggy Destin, Beachy Mimi was reunited with Computer! Tears may or may not have been shed.

The beach is cramed with skinny, tan and young spring break people.

Beachy Mimi will be sunning on the deck until the beautiful people go home. I don't have issues with my white skin or anything...

The weather is so beautiful and warm...it is supposed to snow back home tonight. Tee Hee...I mean....Heh Heh...Sorry to the Peeps in WINTERLAND. I'm not gloating or anything. Remember, I have very white legs.

On the dating front...Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Back to Computer. We are so happy to be together again. All is not perfect, however, and Computer is not performing 100%. At least we are together.

That's all for now. I have a lot of catching up to do. I'll try to be witty tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

Have a good evening!

More From The Beach

The Love Shack has a super-nice caretaker. His name is "Henry" and he has been so helpful to us.

He has carried off all our trash, help up hang new pictures and fixed all sorts of little plug-ins and other things.

A really nice guy.

I have been facinated with his accent. My active imagination had him coming from Australia, New Zealand, or maybe, South Africa. I figured he had this exotic life and lived at the beach here to experience American life and surf or fish. Why not Hawaii? Well, too expensive, I thought.

So I asked him..."Henry, Where are you from?"

Henry's reply..."Misissippi."

So much for my imagination.

Don't Play With Scissors

Have I ever mentioned what a klutz I am? I didn't think so.

I am an accident waiting for a place to happen.

As we have been cleaning and redecorating the Love Shack, I had the occasion to open a box. I used these.

BIG MISTAKE! BIG. HUGE. (sorry for the bad photography...I'm injured)
I KNOW. Terrible isn't it?

Because of the location of the cut and poor first-aid skillz on my part...I had to go to Urgent Care to get it glued/butterflied shut.

After I gave my life history...there were at least 15 different pages to sign and put in my newly made chart.


I thought this was a little over-kill...


I was the only patient in the whole complex. I don't think they were going to lose me. However, I do think they were excellent and very professional.

At least it gets me out of doing the dishes. I get to sit on the balcony and watch this...

The Bald Guy

I was minding my own Beachy Mimi business this morning...PeepOne and PU were downstairs doing who knows what.

I hopped in the shower and as I dried off and was partially dressed...I walked out of the bathroom (the one with the clear glass door) to find a bald guy in my bedroom.
THOUGHTS THAT RAN THROUGH MY MIND:

1. Oh God! Thank you! There is a bald guy in my bedroom!

2. Oh God! There is a bald guy in my bedroom.

3. He was not looking at my eyes.

I might add at this point that the bald guy got a good look at THE GIRLS in all their nudie glory.

BALD GUY RESPONSE:

Oh God! I am so glad you have the rest of your clothes on.


Hahahahahah

His poor retinas will be forever seared with the vision of my GIRLS.

How did he get past PeepOne and PU? Good question. I asked it myself.

Long story short...he was the exterminator. No one saw him go up the stairs.

Afterwards, I asked him if I could take his picture and he said okay. I told him he would be on the internet.

He said, "Oh wow! Will I be on Spacebook?" (I don't think there is a Spacebook. I think it is MySpace or Facebook).

I replied "NO...I have a blog and you won't ever see your picture."

He said, "Wow, can I write about this on my Spacebook page?"

I said, "Sure, go for it."

He said, "Can I embellish it?

Go for it, Sonny. Somehow I think this might end up in Penthouse letters.

This is how I ended my day of trauma...

Did I mention he was VERY young?

At The Beach and a Giveaway

Hi Peeps! I've missed you so much.

We arrived at the Love Shack on Friday, and we have been running ever since.

Love Shack has had to be cleaned, stocked and decorated in the space of three days. Wow.

The Gulf is beautiful, the breeze is cool and I saw dolphins this morning. It doesn't get much better than that.

I also may get to meet my precious, pink Fuschia next week!!! Yay! Isn't that cool?

PU forgot the crockpot. Heh Heh . We've been so busy getting the essentials rounded up we haven't had the time for finding a good deal on a crockpot. Heh Heh Heh

I HAVE found time to eat some wonderful shrimp...twice.

A few brave souls are actually sitting in the sand with their bathing suits on...it is very cool outside. No one is in the water.

More reports on the Love Shack as we get the decorating done.

But, because I love my Peeps, I am offering two $50 gift certificates for Starbucks.
Just leave me a comment, a way to get in touch with you and your favorite Starbucks drink. I'll announce the winner Wed. night at 6 pm CST. Happy Drinking!

Beach Bound

Hi Peeps!

I have been grieving over Pumpkin Topiary Beachy so I haven't written in a couple of days. I think I'm over it now.

As you read this, I am on my way to THE BEACH for two weeks. TWO WEEKS!! PeepOne, PU and I are going down to clean and decorate the LOVE CONDO that PU just purchased.
She doesn't know it is the LOVE CONDO yet...that will be our little secret.

I'll host another giveaway next week sometime when we get the internet hooked up in the Love Shack. PU is taking the crockpot!!

I'll post ASAP. I'm sure we will have lots of trip stories.

You have a good weekend!

Just Rambling

PeepOne and Beachy Mimi did a little retail therapy on our Florida vacation.
First on the agenda was to get the Parental Unit a t-shirt that said, "Got Crabs?". PeepOne and Beachy Mimi thought this to be hilarious and a great gift for the PU.

I crack myself up.

There is a store I love in Destin called "Fresh Produce". Their summer wear is so colorful and "beachy" and comfortable. I seriously overdid. Especially after THE TICKET.

We also had a marvelous meal at "The Bonefish Grill". I love, love sea bass and their's is delightful.

I am allergic to shellfish so I did not share in the delight of PeepOne, who ate TONS of crabs.

Nope, sea bass or hamburgers for me.

The Queen B is taking a bloggy break. Peeps, she must really be tired to do this. Her summer has been non-stop and crazy. I have never seen a person cram so much stuff into a day...

Can I tell you that 10 days without internet access was terrible? It is one thing if you decide to take a break, it is quite another to have a break forced on you by computer malfunction. I am not "techy" in the least. When I have to get help for some computer issue, I feel so sorry for the helper on the phone who (a) does not understand English, (b) does not understand a "Southern" accent, and, (c) can't communicate with me because I don't know "tech-speak". Like, "Is your router on?" and I say, "Which box is that?" It is pretty sad.

In fact, it is amazing that I can blog at all. I know NOTHING about computers. Everything I do is by accident.

Harry, the cat, is suffocating me since my return. For the last two nights I have been awakened to his standing on my chest. He weighs 15 pounds so that is quite a sleep depriver.

That totally has nothing to do with anything, but as you can tell, I'm drawing a big blank here for subject matter. Just bear with me. I'm just out of practice. I'll soon be back to talking about inappropriate subjects before you know it.

Speaking of....do ya'll do hot tubs? Beachy Mimi does NOT. I cannot imagine putting the tootie in used water...eww. I cannot take a bath in a tub I have not personally scrubbed. Very protective of the tootie.

Well, there you go. Inappropriate subject matter at last. I haven't lost my touch.....

There will be a giveaway later this week.....

The Spa Ho's Are Back!

The Spa Ho's are back and they got a ma-ssage.
Hey Now! Hey Now! The Ho's are back.

They had so much time they got an extra facial.
Hey now, Hey now, the ho's are back.

I could totally justify this little splurge. It was hot. It was sticky. The fireworks were not going to start for several hours. We were wasting time....so. We found a spa. A WONDERFUL Spa with fabulous massages and facials. We met a new blogger/lurker friend and were entirely limp when the whole process was over. Too limp to worry about fireworks. We went to bed. It was the greatest 4th ever!!

I must confess. YES, CONFESS. I got a moving violation commonly called a SPEEDING TICKET. I Sssssssssooooooooo had it coming. My speed has been creeping up slowly for the past couple of years. 55 means 57 or 59. 65 means 70. 75 means just take off and go with the flow of the traffic... not anymore.

This Beachy Mimi will follow the letter of the law on speed limits. The officer was very cute and very polite and professional. It's just that you've got no recourse than to say "busted" to
the very attractive law officer when you got caught doing 70ish in a 55.

The very cute attractive law officer doesn't care that the road is flat, you are the only cars on the road for miles, and the only witnesses to this driving drama are fields of corn, cotton and soybeans. Nope. Doesn't mean a thing to him.

Bummer.

I haven't had a ticket since I was 16.

WELL I DO NOW. It will seriously make a dent in my fun money for the rest of the summer.

We are almost perfect driving citizens for the rest of our trip. Amost. Heh Heh. Maybe one or two or seven uies (u turns) SAFELY made to correct our course direction.

More trip info later. A big hearty thanks to PeepOne for doing most of the driving after the ticket incident.

We are tired. But by tomorrow we'll be ready to tell you more about our adventures.

Come on back later!!

We're Baaack!!!

Oh Peeps, I have missed you so!!! I have been without internet connection for 10 days.

Tomorrow I will catch up with a new post. So glad to be back!

Hope everyone is okay.

See You On Down The Road

Peeps, I have to get up at 3 am to begin my Florida vacation. What a sacrifice.
PeepOne and I are going to drive straight through so we can be at our destination for the 4th.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!!

Catch you later!

It's Time to Go

Help!! I can't find my Beachy Mimi thing!!

Peeps, it is time for me to go. sniff sniff

I can't believe a month has passed already! We'll be heading out early in the morning to go back to real life. Fantasy life is much more fun.

However, PeepOne and I have already made plans to be back here in one month. Can you believe it!!! We're changing beach locations, but we're going to be sand babies, again.

Remember, I'm on my Neverending Vacation even if I am not traveling.

Stay tuned and I'll see you Monday!!!!!
