Weekending and A Remodel

After posting late on Friday I really thought about what I wanted to do as far as this blog. I decided I did NOT want to change the name but I did want to get that beachy feel back. So I did a little remodeling on Saturday when it was to hot to do anything but sit in the house with the AC and all the fans on.

Next on my to do list is a good brainstorming session, I don't want to bring back the Seashell Chronicles but I do want to bring back some type of wrap up post every Friday. I'm ready to make my big come back, I'm sure we can all agree summer is the perfect time for that (written in sarcasm font).

The early bird gets the empty beach!



Saturday morning I was on the beach by 9 AM, by 11 AM it was so hot you were sweating as soon as you left the water. When the water isn't a relief from the heat it's time to find something to do away from the hot sand and sun. Of course that means I chose to go to the unconditioned flea market and spend some of my book credits. There isn't a lot I won't do for "free" books.

Sunday Little K decided there would be no beach time, it's hard to argue when the temps hit 90 before 10 AM and don't fall below 100 until sometimes after dark. My mom came over Sunday afternoon and we went shopping for my birthday present which I missed getting in May. I now have the stuff to make clay pot light house to welcome all of Tyson's visitors over the 4th of July. Hopefully I can get it painted this week and set out by the front gate.

Speaking of the 4th I'll be packing up Little K and a bunch of unread books and heading to my mom's beach house. I'm looking forward to a spending time in a house with crappy cell service, 3 TV channels, and no internet (NOT written in sarcasm font). Disconnecting is good for the soul and my mom's house is always a great place to get disconnected.

How was your weekend? What are your plans for the 4th?

  1. Having an unplugged weekend at a beach house is the best kind of vacations! Sounds lovely.

  2. Unplugged at the beach is awesome! We'll be spending 9 hours in a car driving back from vacation on the Fourth. Whomp whomp.

    I like the new look! Great job.

    Why not a looser seashell chronicles? So it's just a catch all for your week without a format you need to stick to?

  6. LOVE the redesign! It looks great!!!!

    I do a weekly recap post, too, and I think you should bring yours back. I love them.

    It's been unpleasantly hot here, too, and I'm very much enjoying sitting in the AC, working on stuff or watching TV or reading. Too hot for anything else.
