We were only at the beach for two days, but that was long enough to put me in a post-vacation slump as soon as we got back. Fun things Doug and I did that make me want to escape from the city every weekend:
1) Went to the beach. Even at the shore it was 1,000 degrees, but that didn't stop us from running around in the ocean for an hour. I wanted to go out far enough that I could jump over the waves like I used to do when I was a little kid, but I'm apparently not as brave as I was when I was ten and only made it about twenty feet from shore. I guess when you get older you're more conscious of boring grown-up things, like the fact that you never so much learned "how to swim" as you learned "how to tread water, and not drown in a pool."
2) Ate a 5lb lobster. Okay, Doug split it with me. STILL. Its claw was the size of a baseball mitt.
3) Lost $20 at a slot machine. Okay, $40, but only $20 of it was mine.
4) Read the 170 pages of Anna K. I had left before our book club meeting tomorrow. KIDDING. I actually read six trashy magazines. DID YOU KNOW that according to Star Jenniffer Lopez wore an ugly expensive dress better than Blake Lively did, but according to US Weekly Blake wore it better? I did.
To make myself feel better I just bought a dress I don't need and can't afford to wear to a wedding in three weeks. Now it's time for me to go home and read 100 pages of a giant Russian novel.
