She's got a point

" When I see a word (be it LOVE or JUICY or PRIDE or SUTTON HIGH VOLLEYBALL) written on the ass of another woman, I am not envious. I am saddened and embarrassed for my sex. And if she's the mother of a classmate of my son's, I feel pity for the poor child, wondering if the first word he learns to read will be something scrawled across mommy's butt." Damn straight, sister. (Check her out here.)

Ahh, the benefits of vacation.

If you're one of those people who can 'lose' vacation, you have got to take it. And if you don't, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

We've been in Wilmington, NC. Very nice, although the weather wasn't great. A bit cloudy and overcast. We did get down to the beach once, though - long enough to play in the waves - and get totally beat up by them.

May I recommend a restaurant? 22 North on Wrightsville Beach. The food is great, the people are nice, and the service is awesome. What makes it that way?

Well, on our vacation at the beach, our waitress had the huge misfortune of spilling not one, not two, but three large drinks on my husband. So, nonetheless, the staff cleans up the mess - as best they can - and we think dinner will happen regardless. Two minutes later, the waitress is saying our drinks and desserts are on the house.

But it gets even better. We were the first diners of the evening, so when her manager got around to seeing what happened, he gave us all of our dinner on the house. "That includes dessert," he says, "so don't forget to save some room for it!"

Yep, we had a really nice dinner for nada - and I'm sure we'll go back the next time we're in town.

And, check out Down Island Traders. They're kinda like my favorite import shop (not World Market, although I think they're ok) - the World Mission Shop, run by Bethania Moravian Church. I'm also a huge fan of Ten Thousand Villages. (And, hey, if you can find their website, let me know. My husband picked up a card with the website on it while we were there, but he "left" it in the store later. Humph.)

So, my life might be changing, soon. More on that later - don't want to let the cat out of the bag, as it might be!

All right, there's more about vacation, but I'll leave that for another post.

No, I didn't forget that I had a blog.

I've just been on vacation. And, I'm mad right now, so I'll blog more later.

I'd really like to be in Orlando

'Cause that's where a friend is. Yep, the great big accounting firm sent him to Mickey-world for training - except, as you can probably already tell, the great big accounting firm sinks lots of money into things like this.

I expect that they'll have some really cool teambuilding (scavenger hunt in Disney World, anyone?) and the company will pay for some pretty awesome stuff. He might even get the chance to have his picture taken with the characters - after they insist on him putting down the wine glass! (Didn't know that? Yep, check it out, if you ever happen to be that close to one of them.)

Anyway, today's the day to get stuff done, becuase my tummy rebelled this morning and I called in. So, although I'm taking it easy (I don't want the tummy to rebell again!), there's a list and I'm working on it.

Yeah. It really feels good to get some projects done, and today is going to be a finish projects day.
