weather watch, 2008

Beach Vacation Countdown - 9 days. NINE DAYS, PEOPLE. that means nine days to lose 25 pounds; nine days to fit into shorts; nine days to daydream about doing nothing for a whole darned week... and, nine days to stalk the weather channel nonstop to fret about the weather for the week.

and you know what? my family has been luck (knock, knock on wood) for most of our vacationing years. sure there was that one year that we got evacuated from wrightsville beach and my entire family had to crash at my tiny 2 bedroom apartment in greenville. then there was that other year where it was freakishly cold and windy, and the only way to get some sun was to huddle on one of the upper decks in a wind-shelter fashioned from towels and sheets. no matter! the other years were lovely. and we always have fun anyway.

today was the first day that the week creeps into the 10-day forcast on weather.com. saturday is partly cloudy, high of 81. perfecto!

ewwww... since hasselhoff and the puppies are both the same color, it took me quite some time to figure out what the heck was goin' on there. it looked briefly like one of those after-stomach-stapling pictures where you see sacks of empty skin laying about. bleah.
