Gidget's Not Here...Please Leave a Message



Know thyself....Socrates once said.
Okay.
Myself is becoming a bit of a bore.
My week at the beach has helped me to decide this.
On this particular vacation, I decided to only do what I wanted.
Personally, I had a great time, but I found myself saying things like...
"I don't like ...."
"I really don't want to..."
Bottom line?
I can be no fun at all.
I'm sometimes a big blob of un-funness.

Walking on the beach for more than two blocks makes my back hurt.
I would rather eat worm pie than be in the midst of a crowd in an amusement park.
I like to go to bed at 10:00 PM.
I eat Fiber One cereal for breakfast even though I'm on vacation.
I hide the caramel popcorn so I don't have to share it.
I hate sand on me....seriously.
I only go in the water on rare occasions. (There has to be a considerable amount of begging from the nieces and nephews for me to take the plunge.)
Sometimes I don't even get to the beach until 2:00 PM because I have been sitting around and reading on the balcony.
I will find any excuse to take a nap.

So, I know you were wanting to invite me on your next big family beach vacation, but I am saving you the trouble and frustration.
I'm a party pooper....a stick in the mud if you will.
You'd have more fun with a plastic plant.

I know how you feel. Vacations are better when they are short. Given too much time to do what I want, I too start to wonder what else there is to do. Or on the other hand, when one must leave a place one would rather stay, I too am grumpy! Just yesterday when I had to leave the home of my birth (Colorado) I was morose and glum...NOT A PRETTY PICTURE! Whew! You made me feel better! Thank you! Cathy

We would be PERFECT at the beach together! Why? Because I feel close to 100% synchronous to your practices and REVEL in it! (It's VACATION! Which means you do it in a way that pleases YOU!)

Beach house together soon for us! ;)

maybe, after heavenly hawaii, it was hard coming down to earth?

and i just bet you're not a part pooper...not at all.

and i don't like to go in the water, either.

I completely 2nd Cheryl's comment. If it makes you happy and works for YOU, go for it!

I think your idea of a vacation sounds delightful!

If we can find a sand-free beach, count me in.

I think you sound like a lovely traveling companion . . . that's exactly what I do on vacation!

You're welcome in my bungalow anytime, Gidget :)
