Not On One Strand Are All Life’s Jewels Strung

So, I know that I just returned from a fabulous weekend vacation at the beach, but y’all, I’m in need of another one.  Vacation, that is.  And I’m leaving tomorrow.  Sayonara.  Auf Wiedersehen. Arrivederci.  Au Revoir.  And Ciao!

And because we were in the Golden Isles of Georgia last weekend, we thought that we would head to the Emerald Coast of Florida this weekend.  Make the rounds, you know?  However, this weekend, we will not be hobnobbing with rich politicians and the such.  Like, such as.  We’ll be kicking back on what some refer to as the Redneck Riviera.  See, didn’t I tell you we were classy folk?

And because I will have very limited access to the internet through Tuesday, I might just shrivel up in a corner with a seashell and pretend that I’m sending e-mails and the whatnot, just like Shane did on Survivor: Panama with his “stickberry.” (Did I ever mention that I’m a huge Survivor fan?)  But most likely, I will be relaxing on the beach with my current read, The Wives of Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser.

So, while I am gone, I’m leaving you with a little homework assignment.  I’d like for you to go check out these wonderful blogs that I recently started reading…

  • Madame Queen.  Leandra, the Madame Queen, is just an all-around neat person.  Did I just say neat?  Yes, she is neat.  She has two adorable little munchkins, Punkin and Bubba, and she’s a mad UGA fan.  Actually, she has agreed to take in GR for the ensuing UGA football season as long as I send him over with a few Coronas.  But, I think that I have to watch her kids or something in exchange.  Little does she know that GR is a kid himself, and she’ll have to feed him cremesicles and juice boxes to keep him from crying and peeing his pants.
  • Some Things Need Said, But Most Don’t.  Annie is so funny, and she’s a grandmother at 43!  Good lord, that could be my reality as well, being that Gus will be 25 when I’m 43!  So, I’m going to start locking Gus in the attic now, and let him out only to go to his classes.  I’ll set him free only after he’s turned 30, and I’ve found him a suitable wife.   
  • D3. Displaced. Dysfunctional. Discombobulated.  J. Lynne writes about her New England adventures with her funny little Pug (Pugly) and her kittahs.  She’s a brilliant writer and I envy her awesome photography skills. 

 So, off you go, people.  I expect a full report when I return.

Hey! Thanks for the linkie love! And thanks for the heads up on other blogs. I’ll definitely check these out.

Have fun on your trip! I can see that I should have traded taking GR for the chance to go on one of your fabulous adventures. Maybe next football season….

Have fun on your vacation (and thanks for commenting on my beach vacation pics). We went to Destin for the second year in a row and we really enjoyed it.

I wish I was there now.

Kidnap me and take me with you?

Redneck Riviera! Woohoo! After all this time, I never knew it was called the Emerald Coast.

I’m jealous as usual. Have fun.

Awww…thanks for the nice words. :) I was going to say that I started reading that book about Henry VIII’s wives but I have a different one and I only got through Catherine and got so upset that I put it down because I liked her so much I didn’t want to read about the second wife. :P

Wow! Enjoy your vacation. I enjoyed your “such as” reference. Delightful.

Throw your socks in the wash!
