Vacation week
This has been a crazy but enjoyable week. J had a conference out of town so we went with him.. stayed with my brother one night and then in a hotel the other nights. J was wrapped up most of the days with convention stuff, and some of the nights too.. so Chels and I just sorta did our own thing for the most part and we enjoyed every second of it!
We went to the boardwalk.. OMG that place was heaven.. and I don't even like to shop but I loved this place. We ate at Joe's crab shack, hit some antique stores, spent a day at the pool ( she swam all day, I read) J and I did go to a comedy club one night which was hosted by his convention group. That was really good and the first time that I had ever been to one. My brother babysat for me. J had evening socials most every night, which he attended one night.. we could have went with him but for some reason before he walked in the door where everyone was, he held his hand up for me to stop like he didnt want us to come in. So Chels and I just turned around and went off to explore the hotel while he did that. It hurt my feelings bad.. some lady stopped me in the hall and asked why I didnt go in with him because everyone else in there had their kids and family.. I replied to her that he obviously didn't want us there and she made a face and as I was walking off, she yelled back to me.. " Hey honey.. it's HIS loss!" which made me feel better but also let me know that she also thought that he was being a prick about it.
On our hotel discovery walk, we found a brand new beautiful grand piano.. just sitting out in the hall. I let chels sit down on the bench and just admire it's beauty. We also found a walkway over the river, and sat and watched it flow with all the nighttime lights in the background.. beautiful. Once he was done with his evening social.. he called my cell phone and I just let it ring.. and ring and ring :) over and over again. He finally found us and I blew it off as if I didnt have a signal... hah..
I finally got over my bad cold and was much better last week.. came down with the mess again last night, but this time it seems to be in my chest moreso than anywhere else. I think that I need vitamins or something.. this is the third time in about 6 weeks that i've had a cold.. I never took antibiotics for it, maybe I should have because I think its the same cold.. it just keeps lingering.
Of course, yesterday and today I've had to play catch up in my ebay store and also in my shop. So behind on everything. I just dyed some teenage girl's hair purple.. that was fun and funky looking. She loved it.
I'm so ready for real food.. good country cooked food like what I'm use too.. I'm making beef tips and rice today with fresh corn, then tomorrow I'm cooking a big pot of fresh green beans and potatoes .. YUMMY. It gets old fast when you eat out for a week and nothing really tastes like what you cook.
More later.. gotta get my rice on
