I decided to take the Dup for a walk every single day. That lasted three days until it rained for like a week straight. Sigh. We will keep trying.
Then my mom and brother came to visit which I loved. We spent time together, went to the beach and they kept the Dup company when I went to work.
Anytime I go to the beach on base I collect shark teeth and I have a small jar I keep them in. My mom and I were finding a lot since high tide was going out and Stefan was skim boarding. Suddenly Stefan goes, "I found one!" And I kind of went into typical big sister mode as he came over an expected to see a shell or a really small one. Nope. Kid had me über beat. This was hands down the biggest one I've seen on the beach and it just hit him in the leg when a wave came in. Lesson learned.
After awhile Stefan convinced me to try he skimboard. I did not die or hurt myself! i was pretty proud.
We also went to one of my happy places for dinner, Buddy's! I got my usual crab legs and a corona with plenty of fries and corn nuggets.
I also got to hang out with my friend Donna and explore this store 2nd & Charles for the first time. You can buy used DVDs, books, CDs and games and also sell them back. It's like heaven for nerds. Especially for Whovians...
I got myself some TARDIS knee socks ;)
Otherwise I'm reading a lot, watching movies over from the library and occasionally treating myself to Cook Out when I need it. Crazy Stupid Love, the Dup and burgers. Not bad.
But I live for text messages ala wifi from Ryan and getting to FaceTime. That's definitely something we did not have last deployment!!
Him: Why didn't you tell me my nose is so huge?!
Me: It's not!
Him: Yes it is! Look!
Sigh. I miss him so much.
