Beyond this fence are the wild ponies of NC.
I'm in deep mourning tonight because my vacation is ending. I've had 10 days off ... and each one was a perfect pearl of fun.
I completed all of my plans for Memorial Day -- pool, pedicure, slurpees, and general frivolity with the girls -- followed by my trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
I spent the rest of the week in one of the large beach houses there, named Sea Splash. The owners always name their houses lame things like "Life's a Beach" and "B-lo C." If I ever have a beach house I'm going to name it "Juicy Juicy Mangoes." Anyway, this is the house I stayed in...
I started out the week with some people that I knew from Church, who were lovely, but secretly, I was super excited to be alone. I figured I like being at my house alone, so how much BETTER would it be to be at the BEACH alone!? I could do all of the stuff I do at my apartment, but AT THE BEACH! And I was right. It was bliss! Absolute bliss!
It was perhaps the most perfect vacation ev-ah! The weather was perfect. I read three books. Slept in. Stayed up late. Ate cheeseburgers and peach pie for dinner and blackened fish tacos for lunch. Discovered a shipwreck on the beach. Took long walks. And really really didn't want to come home.
If there is any icing to be put on this perfection of a vacation cake it was the price. The whole trip INCLUDING gas cost me about $100.
And now?! NOW I have to go back to work. It's beyond depressing. I guess it has to end. All good things must end. Right? That's what everyone says anyway, AS IF that makes it any better. I'm here to tell you ... IT DOESN'T.

This is the saddest blog entry I've ever read. :(
Two things:
1. I though Juicy Juicy Mangoes was the name of my beach house.
2. Did you take Mustard?
I thought I might feature more prominently in this post.
Sounds like you had a great time . . . there is nothing worse than coming back to work after relaxing!
souns perfect... except that it's missing one thing, Beach Daniel! HELLO! but I guess that I just have to settle with the visit to my house since you were only around the corner and all. oh, wait, that didn't happen. YOU SUCK! But thank you for the awesome referal of Lars and the real girl. it was great. I liked it a ton.
