Okay…so, schoolwork is done for the day and I can actually write a blog and not feel insanely guilty that I’m not doing something that I should. Furthermore, I have already made mine and Joey’s lunches for the next TWO days. And, I’m not dressing up tomorrow, so all that’s left is to get my gym clothes ready for after work tomorrow. Maybe I’m finally catching up?

We were on an “internet cleanse” for the last part of last week as we didn’t have wireless access in the beach condo where we stayed from Wednesday-Sunday. My internet access was limited to a Starbucks (blech) in Myrtle Beach after Joey got his assignment sent off. It was actually pretty nice to get away from the constant access to realtime information and contact with everyone else. I don’t even think I got a phone call while I was there, which was nice since I cringe whenever I hear my phone ring these days.

We got to go to Alligator Adventure, which is always a treat, although I will say that now, after having read so much on animal rights these days, I did find myself noticing how small some of the animal enclosures seemed to be and I don’t really know that I’m okay with that, honestly. But, a good time was had by all!

We’re going RAW for the next few days to make up for how poorly we ate over the vacation. That was one area where I was disappointed in myself; it sucks to leave vacation feeling bad for how much you’ve eaten. It kind of cheapens the joy of the trip. But, here we are, back at home, back on track, and except for a persistently sore throat which just developed about an hour ago (pleasepleasepleaseplease don’t let me be getting sick!), I think that all seems to be well!

Here are a few pics from the trip:
