Oops

To the little check out man whose face turned red when I reached into my purse for my wallet and instead pulled out a pair of undies.

I am SO sorry.

Totally forgot about those.

My bad.

The Beach

There is something great about spending a weekend away with the girls and relaxing on the beach.

First of all, the weather was GORGEOUS, we couldn't have asked for better. We ate, drank, poured over lingerie, and talked boys and sex.

I'd love to tell you more...but like they say, what happens at the beach, stays at the beach.

Vaca

I need a break.

So I'm heading to the beach.

Sun, sand and a tan...then all will be well again.

Pear Shaped

Sometimes life has a way of going all pear shaped.

One moment you're skipping along in the sunshine and the next you're floundering in a sea of uncertainty and doubt, desperate to keep your head above water and cursing yourself for having never really learned how to swim.

Each day survived was done with a friend's words in my ear. Every day you go in and you pick a task and give it your full attention. When that one's done, you move on to the next and keep going. Focus on the things you can control. And then at 5 when you walk out that door and into the world that's out of control, just keep reminding yourself to breathe.

So that's what I did.

I remembered to breathe.

In and out.

Out and in.

Counting each labored breath until the world righted itself again.
