Beach

I used to be a person that loved the beach. I can remember when I was a kid the excitement of finding out that we were going. I didn't grow up on the beach, but I lived about 45 mins away at all times. My mom has pics of me playing, running and having a great time! When I hit puberty and developed boobs, I started to hate it... and then all of a sudden, I went from an XS to an XL in 6 months!!! I'll never forget the trip to the beach that changed everything! It was the summer I turned 12 and sand got trapped in the crotch of my bathing suit and I looked like I crapped my pants! I had to change out of my suit, under a freakin blanket when it was 95 out and I was soaked! Do you know how hard it is to change into your mom's Jean shorts when you're skin is wet and you're starting to get too chubby for your moms clothes??? NOT A FUN experience at all! From that day forward, I HATED the beach!!! I was mortified and NEVER wanted to feel like that ever again! I only went on maybe 2 handful trips to the beach after that. When I was 17/18 I went again and I had fun with friends, but I also was thinner and a little more confident! Today... nope! I feel anxiety if someone mentions going to the beach. And where does my daughter live???? Virginia Beach! What does she love??? The beach!!! 

Busy, Busy, Busy

Today was busy... tried to clean the old bathroom with one hand...was pretty interesting, but only got the sink, outside of toilet, back wall, mirrors and around the toilet floor done.  I guess that's an accomplishment.  Cleaned dog hair off the couch, changed the sheets on the bed bc my prop up pillow came today. going to try to sleep in my bed tonight! Well done rambling

Feeling Rather Accomplished

Today I finished the editing and revisions on three completed books that I have been working on since early 2000!!!  My best friend and I love to write fictional stories about all sorts of things, but mostly romance with drama, thrills and action. These books have been tossed around for the last 15 years with so many starts and stops and versions and discards!  Edits had to be made to update modern technology with these writings because cell phones have gotten so much better, tablets and laptops a way of life!  Social media in your face at every turn! I hope to find a publisher that will give us a chance and perhaps feel truly accomplished and accepted as a writer.  Here goes everything!
