Well girls, I have made it back from my lovely sand & surf residence for the past few days! Had a wonderful time! Ate good, drank good, & met some good folks!
Thursday:
Met Sarita at Ashley's around 4:30am because that was an easy place to leave my car & we got on our way! Stopped at the 1st Krystal's we saw and got a sackful for the drive. YUM! Nice drive until about Mobile. Huge thunderstorm that almost caused us to get hit head on by a truck, but Sarita did a wonderful job saving both of our lives! Made it to Pensa later than we hoped because of my fear of driving in the rain...made her stop many times! We got to Matt's, unpacked, cleaned up, and went to eat at Shaggy's. I had fried shrimp, oysters, and crawfish nachos. It was yummy! Afterwards, we went to Flounder's (one of my favorite spots). Had a Diesel Fuel to drink, had some photo ops & then headed home to rest.
Friday:
Got up, headed to the beach to only find that the lot we planned to park in was already full. Had to park about a mile and a half away, so had to wait on the trolley (which was an experience in itself)! Made it to the beach, we had some people from AR that were there so we found them, and made our beach home for the day with them. Got some sun, saw the Blue Angel's rehearsal, went to The Dock beach bar several times, had some Bushwhacker's, and ended back there all afternoon. We danced and danced some more. It was loads of fun! About 6ish we headed back on our long journey to catch the trolley, but no trolley to be found, so we hitched a ride with a very nice young man because there was NO way I was walking in the heat carrying all of our beach crap! Plus my back was bothering me. Think I "Wobbled" too much at The Dock (lol)! Made it back home, Sarita took a nap with intentions to get up and go out later, but it didn't happen! Matt and I ordered a pizza, vegged out, watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (freaky movie), and crashed. I slept on the floor that night because of my back.
Saturday:
Blue Angel's Airshow Day...Big plans to be at the beach by 9am, but it was slow going for me & plus it was storming. We finally got down there through all of the traffic, but again NO PARKING!! So we hung out at PegLeg Pete's to wait out the storm. Matt ordered some kind of nugget basket & we had a Bushwhacker. We heard that the show was going to be pushed back, so we just stayed put. I am telling you it was STORMING!! I felt bad for all the folks on the beach cause it was windy & lightning like crazy! Weather calmed, so we left PLP and headed back to the lot & found a parking space easily b/c people left due to the storms. Since my back was hurting, we stopped at the CVS earlier and got some BenGay. I rubbed that on in the parking lot & then off to see the Blue's. We all got separated, so I hung out with this fun family I met! However, while standing in the heat, I started to sweat & the dang BenGay started running in a place that I DID NOT WANT IT GOING! I was on FIRE! LOL! Matt left after the show, I found Sarita, we hung out at The Dock again, met Tim McGraw & Glynn (which will be discussed in person), walked to the Boardwalk, hung out at Bamboo Willies, ate chicken at Hooter's, went to Captain Fun's, danced a little, took many late night pics, was going to take a taxi, but called Matt instead....got home around midnight.
Sunday:
Got up, we all went and had brunch at Flounder's. I had a Shrimp Po' Boy Sandwich which was fantastic! We drove both vehicles because Matt had some housework he needed to do & Sarita and I were ready for SundayFunday! We shopped a little at Alvin's Island, then went and set up camp on the beach. The weather was BEAUTIFUL today! Saw a mother reunited with her son that went missing on the beach for hours. It was very exciting! I got pics! Went to The Dock....again! LOL! Did a lot of beaching today. About 5ish, we packed up, changed clothes in the car, went to the Boardwalk, went to SandShakers, met some "new" friends, and hung out with them the rest of the night (which is another story to be told in person) :). Made it home around 2ish.
Monday:
We packed up, said our goodbyes to Matt, Scruffy, and Abby girl. Got on the road around 9ish. Made some stops along the way for Krystal's, boiled peanuts, and shoes. Had a nice drive back, got to Ashley's to unload Sarita's car & load mine, but that is when all plans changed! I bent over to pick up my bag, stood up, and then immediately slid down Sarita's car. My back had totally given out on me. Sarita turned around because I was yelling, "I can't move, I can't move"! She ran in Ashley's to get Scott. Scott came out helped me to my feet, but I was faintish, so he lowered me to the ground to lay down. I stayed in the driveway for 3 hours, which is another story to be told in person! Needless to say, I didn't make it home....stayed at Ashley's.
Tuesday:
Ashley took off work to help me. She drove me, in my car, to the doctor in Conway, mama met us there, got checked out, went to eat at Tropical Smoothie while waiting on my prescriptions at Walgreen's, got my drugs, made it home FINALLY to see my sweet S&S sugarbabies that were missing me so very much, got settled in, mama took Ashley back to NLR, mama came back to stay with me, we vegged out, watched a movie, I slept off and on.
Wednesday:
Mama helped me around the house, she ran a few errands, came back, I just sat around, & got up to walk a little, & she left around 7pm b/c I was doing better getting around with my drugs in me! I watched a little tv and passed out!!!!
So that brings me to today, thought I would catch you girls up on the Life & Adventures of ShaSha! Just freaking crazy as usual! Call me for more details and stories not posted! LOL!
Love you girls!
