July 31

Well, the kids have been at my sisters for 4 days. They will come home today and I am so ready! they drive me nuts when they are here but the house is way to quiet when they are gone. The time alone with Mike has been "da bomb" to say the least. We have run off the the casino and got home sort of late. One night we blew up the camping mattress in the front room and ate ice cream and watched tv all night. We rented "The Bucket List, Fools Gold, and Into the Wild". I highly recomend Into the Wild if you haven't seen it. The Bucket List was hard for me to watch because what is was about but sill worth watching. Then Fools gold is simply full of eye candy, yummy, and a cute story line. So all in all it has been a good few days alone with Mike. Even Shandi has been scarce since she knows we want some alone time. I only answered the phone for my kids and Kevin. Oh, by the way, it is official, I will be going to Ingleside and Port A again for vacation. This year it will be just me. Woo-hoo. I so plan on sitting on the beach with a beer in my hand and a cigarette in the other all day. Kevin and I will show the world exactly what the term "beach bum" REALLY means!
