Vacation

We were away on vacation last week.  Did ya miss me?

Anyhoo, we went to the beach.  Yes, an Oddz Bodkinz vacation where one goes to the beach AFTER the season and when one forfeits bathing suits for sweat shirts.

The first night there most of the boardwalk was open (this is Wildwood, NJ).  I hit a dollar store only to discover the lamest merchandize EVER!  It was as if they swept the floor of all the stores and stuck the crap that they swept up on these shelves and walls.  It's pretty pitiful when you can't find one thing to buy at the dollar store.

I didn't hit any more stores that night but the Husband bought himself a pound of candy.  Now I know we haven't been on vacation in a while but when did chocolate candy cost $22.00 a pound??

So Wildwood Baordwalk was a bust.  We hit Cape May the next day and trolled the stores in what they call the Mall... Out doors, gifty, that kind of thing.  I bought only two things there when usually we come a staggering back unable to carry our loot.  I don't know if I lost the taste for shopping, for the beach, or did I just NOT want to be there but at home in my new.old house.

We headed home on Tuesday and I was never so glad to leave the beach in my life.  The whole area just didn't feel right.  It was hard to equate the vacation Wildwood with the one where there were no... and I mean NO cars on the streets after dark.  No people either when this place usually keeps going until the early hours.  It felt almost like a post apocalyptic movie set where manhole covers bite at your ankles and sharks are swimming in your toilet.  and youdon't dare look behind you for fear of what is lurking.  In fact, the most exciting thing to happen was two gorups of hot bodied young coast guard guys that came jogging past singing aloud some kind of cadence that kept them all on the same beat.  And that was only once.  I must say that coast guard guys, young ones, at least have great butts.  HEY!  I wasn't looking.  I happened to be sitting in the car as they came past and is it my fault that their butts were the same level as my eyes/  Well, except for the tall ones.

I am glad to be home, even tho still don't have the house set up perfectly.  I'm in dire need of some artwork for my walls.  Out big brown couch doesn't look so much like a turd since I bought a throw for the back of it and the cat peed on my bedspread so my bedroom smells a bit icky but it doesn't matter I'M HOME!!! And I'm not leaving EVER!!!

So there isn't much else new.  I almost had a new laptop but the one bought for me had a cracked screen  so I must wait for a new lap top.  One that will hopefully turn on unlike the old one which is finally dying of the fire damage.

Speaking of fire damage.  Serv Pro is bringing the stuff they managed to save to us on Thursday.  I have no idea what they have so I guess it'll be like Christmas and I'll have surprizez.  Till then......
