While the day started off
iffy
with a frustrating trip
to the walk in clinic
(getting there half an hour
before they opened according to
their website but finding out that
if you want to register
you really have to come AN HOUR
before the time posted
ON THEIR WEBSITE…
am I bitter? maybe a l'il bit)

it got better.

I spent some time reading a new book
(that is SO good, by the way)
by the boardwalk
and even did a short walk
in between weird little rainshowers…
AND I ate at Subway
which I can do now
because I can order using the app!!!
If you know me, you will know
that ordering from Subway stresses me out…
it’s too many questions…
as soon as they ask me what kind of bread,
i’m done. I’ve drawn a blank. I begin
stuttering & stammering and then
I lose the thread of the entire food order
and sometimes just leave.

So yeah…the app saved my life. :)

and then…..there was ice cream…. :)
(Kool Breeze - Skor sundae)

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY & YOU KNOW IT….

♥ can i please have a school bus????
♥ i want want want WANT this.
♥ when 26 was about 3, she said “that’s ok, I’ll wear it again when
I come back as a little girl” because she had outgrown a favorite dress…
this made me think of that.
♥ I really, really wanna stay here….I know it’s slightly out of my
usual range of “maritime travel” though. Heh.

sometimes the best adventures
catch you by surprise...
like when you get up friday morning
& pack up the car
with the camera and the diet coke
but your heart is
just not in it today...
the light's not right...it's too cloudy...
the car is making a funny noise,
you need gas but you don't feel like pumping it
and you feel like your hair is doing something weird
and then you think you will go for coffee
and bullet journal
but you sit in the parking lot
and think...you know what...
i just wanna go home and put on some pj pants
and doodle at my own desk.

so that's how i spent most of the day.

but i had plans with a friend to go for a bite to eat
and a walk so i left home a little early
and went to HMS and got 2 new leuchtturm1917
baby journals because apparently i'm an addict
(BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE)
and then met up with my friend for supper...
we ate at the silver fox
and seriously,
it was so good.
and inexpensive.
and no, there were no chicken fingers on the menu
but my new trick is to order the
chicken bacon wrap
but...without the wrap.
cause then?
well...it's just chicken fingers on a bed of lettuce with
some BACON.
sooooooo good.
oh...and a ceaser...also...soooooo good.
especially the spicy string bean.

so anyway. :)
then we walked the boardwalk
and the geese! there were so many geese.
i tried to convince my friend to
do something to make them all fly at once
so i could take a picture
but she declined all the ideas i proposed
(yelling wildly...throwing rocks)
(not AT the geese...just close...like...to make them fly...
not kill them! sheeesh)
and yes, uncle eddie...there WERE squirrels!
gangs of them. AND i forgot the stupid peanuts.

so anyway. :)
then we went for ice cream at holman's ice cream parlor
and i had the strawberry shortcake sundae
and look, i'm doing you a big favor right now.
go have that sundae.
you will totally thank me.
i mean..unless you are allergic to strawberries,
then maybe you shouldn't listen to me...
but otherwise...
you should try the sundae.
