Weekend Recap

I guess...technically...my weekend is still going strong since I am off work this week.  Yay vacation...er.

Today is supposed to be rainy ridden and blah.  I have big plans of staying in my pajamas, making waffles, and watching loads of television.  Maybe later we will bust out for something "real" to eat and to bowl.  We shall see no rush on anything, folks.  No rush at all.

The weekend was fun though our plans were shifted.

Tee Ball season is over!

Saturday morning was the last game of the 2020 spring summer season.  This was my little guy's first time really playing anything baseball related and the verdict? He's ready to play soccer again and if he never picks up a bat and ball again he will be OK.  He did really improve his throwing and even caught a few catches made to him on first base!  But his thing is soccer.  I really hope there is a soccer season.

Coach Mikell (haha) enjoyed hearding his eleven kittens this season.  I think he preferred the little ones.

We made it to the pool!

Since we didn't get to leave for vacation after teeball we opted to go to the pool for the day.  This was my first trip to the YCP Pool this summer.  It was nice since it was pretty much empty with the exception of maybe twenty others in the baby pool.  There is nothing better than that gentle lull to sleep in the chair by the pool.  Ahhhh so good.  Since we are technically on vacation I'm refusing to cook so Saturday night we redeemed a giftcard at Cracker Barrel for dinner - it was so good.  But isn't the food you don't cook the yummiest?

Sunday Fun Day!

After two cups of coffee on Sunday morning I decided to paint the laundry room (only finished one wall) and then go pull weeds in my flower beds.  After that all I could think about was the need to be by the water.  So I rallied the troops and we loaded up to have a late lunch on Lake Norman.  The Blue Parrot is our favorite spot for fish tacos, pasta salad, and shrimp wraps.  It was so good and so nice to be by the water.  Our little guy picked out a boat that he thinks we should totally get...its only $78,000.00.

Good news!

That little Tropical Storm is set to make "landfall" down at Myrtle Beach overnight.  It looks like rain and wind nothing much nothing crazy.  Ocean Isle Beach let us know that we will probably be able to come on down tomorrow.  We are all very happy but cautiously excited.

Tacos & Beer Kinda Day

My vacation started on Friday at 5:30pm....

The the NC coast shut down in spots due to a "hurricane" south of Florida.  Y'all - I cannot even.  I am beyond angry and frustrated.  I was so pissed I went to Walmart on Friday night at 8pm (they close at 8:30) and bought a vacuum cleaner.  If that's not pissed then I don't know what is.

Actually, I needed a new vacuum.  But it sounded like something I would do if I was out of my mind.

That stupid "hurricane" now a tropical storm is still sitting wayyyyyy down in the bottom of Florida and its a freaking tropical storm now.  It's not even a hurricane.  It's not even close to us.  But don't tell that to the weather channel who prays every single weather event is a mass catastrophe - sick bastards.

Woooo sahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'm trying to be very positive about this batch of foul lemons and make lemonade with extra sugar.  

While we wait to see if we will be allowed to actually go on our vacation (which I paid for months ago...) I have decided we will have fun every day by doing something different.  Yesterday, the day we should have left, we ended up at the pool.  Then we laid around (except my husband, he doesn't do that) and then we used a Cracker Barrel gift card and got dinner.

Mama don't cook on vacay.

I really didn't want to go to the food market (I'm not using any other term for a grocery store anymore other than food market because I like to say food market) but we ended up there anyway.  Our cart - I should have snapped a photo - all JUNK.  Cookies, ice cream, ice cream, cookies, and ok some fruit.

Today I think we will go bowling.  I heard bowling allies are open again.  Of course knowing how this state rolls as well as our luck as soon as we pull in the parking lot the governor will decide they can only be open from 9am to 9:15am and you cannot use a ball.  For you out of staters - did you hear that our governor has stopped alcohol sales after 11pm?  I believe he has chlamydia and COVID confused.

Another nugget to add to this is that I decided since we're on a delay of sorts I would take this time to re-organize my house.  Ever doing that...last night I knocked out the kitchen but I feel the need to do it again.  I also am making a list of all the crap I need for the house....this staycation is becoming expensive.  

You know I have never been an excited for autumn kind of girl.  I hated going to school growing up, Halloween wasn't fun to me, the only perks of fall I could see were more bonfires, football, and my birthday.  But I'm not so sure I won't be pulling out pumpkins and planting mums as soon as possible. 

Oh ish - that's the fall fashion picks from Vogue?  I change my mind. 

I haven't done too much in the way of bitching over 2020 but after the last oh I don't know five months I am kind of over everything.  And I mean every freaking thing.  Essential worker, fine ok I like to make my money the legit way.  Wear a mask and don't go close to people, sounds like a plan I'm a Scorpio.  Coin shortage, yeah ok whatever.  Your kids are kinda going to school kinda not and we will probably just pull them out of this new schedule all together within a few weeks of it starting, sounds like a normal government plan.  But when you close my damn beach down because of a reason that isn't quite logical....jump the gun much, folks?  

Maybe we should all just dance in a thunderstorm and lick the bottoms of our shoes.

I think I'm going to scratch all plans and find some water and have a taco and beer.
