One of the Drunks
Good morning, my Lovelies! I am so pleased that you decided to join me and see what nonsense I have to share with you. First, let me tell you that it is now 6:10 am, and I am blogging from the top floor of a 3-story beach house in the stunningly beautiful Outerbanks of North Carolina, USA, located directly on the beach at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. It is still dark outside and I'm anxiously awaiting the sunrise with the sliding door open and the sounds of the waves breaking shore reverberating through the air.
It is peaceful. It is relaxing. It is perfection. (Well, almost. I haven't had any coffee yet as I was anxious to take advantage of some alone time to do my blog.)
So, what do I have to tell you today?
I'm having a wonderful time! If you have never taken a trip with a few of your closest friends, do it! Find the time, make the plan, and don't let anything stop you. I suppose some people would consider it selfish of me to take a vacation without my family. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong. Either way, doing this for the past two years has been just what I needed when I needed it.
I love my family with all my heart and I 100% enjoy spending time with them and want to take vacations with them. But there is something so different about being away with friends. Maybe it is just the fact that I get a break from responsibilities for a bit, but it is freeing and something that I find I need. I really do think I'm a better person for just taking a few days for myself.
What do we do while we're gone? We laugh, we drink, we shop, we sit in the sun, relax on the beach or by the pool. We play games and go out to eat.
Most of all, we let our guards down. We never feel we have to watch what we say or how we say it. There are no little ears around to be traumatized by our craziness, our foul mouths, or our dirty minds. We can truly be ourselves.
It is freeing, and it is amazing!
Ok, so maybe I didn't have as much nonsense to impart this morning as I normally do. No worries! I'll be back to my usual, snarky, full of shit self next week! (Is that good or is that bad?)
