Sick of thinking up subject lines.
Ugh. Need to make a trip to NYC's Fashion District for fabric. Online buying sucks. I need a minimum of 8 yards for the main part of my outfit. Fun, but not fun. :P
Fortunately my friend Beth lives in Queens...so I can make a visit of it.
The 2mm silver beads I needed to finish the two rosary necklaces commissioned of me arrived today, so I'll be doing that tonight, then posting some pics.
I worked today, so really, not much to report.
It was a hot and sunny day today, humid too....but tonight was one of those balmy, warm seaside nights I love. I wanted to go to the boardwalk or to the island just to be out in the breeze and chill, like the old days.
Unfortunately, the hoardes of tourists have long ago descended upon us here...people who normally go to FL or skiing or overseas, are saving money and vacationing closer to home. Therefore, getting to and from the places *I* enjoy as a local, is nigh on impossible.
Also....its just not the same without carterpickles. We used to spend all our weekends there all summer. We even worked there for a time. Going alone is no fun...and all my friends here are gone, pretty much. The few people we know from M's work are all too "grown up" and busy for fun. Most of them have kids....
I miss the old days tonight. The beach, the pier, the boardwalk, the rides, the friends...
I feel old tonight. Old...and no kids to show for it.
I keep saying I want to leave and move away from the beach. Away from the idiot tourists. But I'll miss it when I do. No other beaches I've been to are the same as the Jersey Shore...and that isn't a good thing in my eyes.
