I’m sitting here on the balcony of the 20th floor of our condo listening to the waves and feeling the breeze coming in from the ocean. I’ve been reading recipes to make natural products and just placed another order with Mountain Rose Herbs. Now I need vodka. No, not to drink. More on that another day. 🙂
I’ve been a BAD WRITER. Yeah, because I haven’t written anything since week before last. I had so much to do to get ready for this vacation that I just decided I was going to take time off from writing until vacation is over. Now if something about my WIP happens to hit me, I’ll jot it down. But this week is about relaxing and reading. No work.
This morning, I got up and made everyone biscuits, gravy, and eggs (I make it all with canola oil, no saturated fats), then we all went to church. Tonight, after evening church services, we will find a good seafood restaurant to go to. Last night, I had the best stuffed grouper I’ve ever had. There was absolutely NO fishy taste.
This vacation was much needed. I’m SO glad we had it mostly paid for before hubby got sick, or we might not have been able to go. He started back to work on a totally different job (at the same company)last week, so he’s still in training. His boss actually told him he should have used his vacation time while he was out of work! We would have lost our money if he had done that! Plus, after all the stress, he needed this vacation. Some people have no heart.
If I have time, I’ll post a little bit about my thoughts on natural homemade products tomorrow. But if I happen to just want to lie around on the beach and read…I might not. LOL
I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend. Or if you’re in a country that doesn’t celebrate this holiday, I STILL hope you’re having a great weekend!

Have a wonderful trip! You and your husband definitely deserve to relax and recharge.
Thanks, Rose. I can’t think of anywhere my husband is happier than on the beach.
Hope you guys have a wonderful and relaxing time! Each some seafood for me! 🙂 Don’t know if I’ll make it to the beach this year. Too many other trips going on this summer ya know?
Most of your trips involve conventions. 🙂
Seafood here is the best. Even though we did have a Whataburger for lunch yesterday. Lol
I’m so glad you and your husband are getting the break you so desperately need. Good for you!
Thanks for reminding me – I’ve got to place an order with Mountain Rose Herbs, too.
Enjoy Florida!
Thank you, Lara.
Isn’t Mountain Rose Herbs the best? I wish I could afford EVERYTHING, especially more essential oils. I buy those a little at a time. In the long run, making my own natural products, it ends up being cheaper…and healthier.
I want to be listening to the sound of waves. One of the best sounds in the entire world.
Enjoy the break away.
It is definitely one of my favorite sounds. I’m sitting in a lounge chair right by the ocean right now. 🙂
I’m so jealous!! Your trip sounds heavenly! Enjoy every minute of it!
Thanks, Shannon. We’ve had lots of fun.
Jealous! Sounds amazing. And good for you for really giving yourself some time off. I hope you get bored enough to start telling yourself stories. =*)
Thanks, I really needed the time off. I’m reading too much to be bored. LOL
In that case, I hope that what you’re reading inspires some writing! =*)
Glad you’re having (or maybe had–I’m chiming in late) a great vacation! I agree. It’s important to get away from it all and just enjoy yourself. You’ll be a better writer, wife, and mother for it. 😀
I’m jealous of the stuffed grouper. LOL I’d love to eat something like that.
I got back last night. It was a very relaxing vacation with no demands. I think it was good for us to get away. I feel refreshed and ready to face the world! 🙂
Stuffed grouper is amazing. None of the seafood I had last week tasted fishy at all.
