My "for faces" sun block failed me today.
I am fried.
It looks like I'm going to have to put the body stuff on my face and hope I don't break out.
While sitting on the beach today Steve pointed out to the waves.
"Hey Maeve, is that a seal?" he asked.
I couldn't see anything and told him so. When he insisted that it was there I suggested that maybe he killed one too many brain cells in his youth.
But low and behold, it was.
It was a young seal and it was just drifting with the current. It then started to swim towards a group of kids playing. Luckily those kids knew to get the hell out of there. Seals generally avoid humans. This poor young thing was sick and I knew the current would bring it past where Pudd'n was playing. So I went out and stayed by Pudd'n because he would not know that you are not supposed to touch a wild animal like that. The seal hung around some surfers a bit before being carried off. One of the surfers confirmed my suspicions that the seal was sick. The surfer said the seal would not last more than an hour.
It was also a good day for dolphins. We saw at least a dozen of them through out the day.

Friday, June 29, 2007  This is what happens to your arm when you don't get the goat puppy up on the boogie board before the next set of waves. I've got two days of scratches and I'm starting to turn lovely shades of purple. We were there FIVE hours today. I'd better not take GP surfing the week before my sister's wedding. I don't think welts, red scratches and bruises look good on a brides maid. Labels: ouch

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.........Blessed Friday!
No school for Pudd'n! We are going to spend the day at the beach. Surprised no? Went to several different locations in search of a job yesterday. I lowered my standards and went to a chain Italian restaurant. They want you to work two day shifts and two night shift. Not going to happen. Went to a new BBQ place and they want you to apply on line. Went to a brewery/sports place and they wanted you 5 days a week. And finally in my own little small corner of the world another Italian place was hiring. So we'll see what happens. Tomorrow morning I'll be going to a friend's garage sale. This will sadly for me be her last one. She is changing jobs and will no longer have all this cool stuff. She is a greeting card rep and sells off all her samples when her garage gets too full. It is like going in to a Hallm*rk store and getting everything dirt cheap. How cheap? She sells greeting cards for ten cents each. I stock up on all sorts of things. Stationary, photo albums, stickers, books, baby gifts, gift bags and so much more. Last year I walked away with 3 boxes of stuff and she only charged me $20!!!! I am ready to wet my self from excitement, 8 am tomorrow cannot get here fast enough. Yes I know. I need a life.............. Labels: shopping, summer fun

I'm really getting used to not working summer school. It is nice to wake up and not rush out the door. House work is getting done in a timely manner and going to the beach is a blast too.

Wednesday, June 27, 2007  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PUDD'N!!!!!!!!!!!! 11 years ago today my life truly began to have meaning. You are the light of my life. You are the sun, moon and stars. I have learned more from you in the short 11 years that you have been alive than the 30 that I lived before it. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am truly grateful that you chose me to be your mother. I love you. Labels: The best day of my life.

Note to self.................GET A NEW SWIM SUIT!!!!
After Pudd'n got out of summer school I wisked him and the Goat Puppy to the beach for some fun in the surf before I had to go to work. I have three swim suits and only one was clean. Of course it was the old nasty one that is streched out and looks like shit. What the hell do I care right? I'm not trying to impress any one. I just want to go have fun with my kid & dog. Believe it or not barflies, I'm getting over my fear of the ocean. The past few times we've gone, I have found myself going in to the surf to ride the waves with Pudd'n. I still skeeve a bit when the sea weed comes near me, but I've found my self wanting to go out more. So I go wading out while Pudd'n is on his boogie board. GP follows right behind me and trys to hop on Pudd'ns board. Pudd'n wants nothing to do with this because GP weighs so much. So I grab the board and GP hops on. This delights Pudd'n to no end. So he starts to make his "happy sound"......loudly. There was a surf camp that was breaking up and people were spying the three of us. They thought it was cute GP was on the board. Some good sized waves were coming in and I found myself doing these three things: 1. get the hair out of my eyes 2. keep the dog on the board 3. keep the top of my suit from coming off in the surf. I think a couple beach goers got an eye full at some point. Labels: dog days of summer

Who the fuck cares that Parasite Hilton got out of jail today? It is ridiculous the media frenzy that is surrounding this. Get a life people!
My mother got a new job, so it looks like my "date night" will change. It is on hold this week while she is training. Now I just need to find a job. The one night a week with Slappy is not going to cut it. Trying to focus on the positive can be daunting at times. Labels: job hunting

What a fun time I had yesterday!
Sheri & Erica made to our place around noon. Sheri was very sweet to give me a beautiful hand blown green glass ball. Erica makes them and they truly are beautiful. I already have a purple one, so this one will fit in nicely! She also had a little flag from her country for Pudd'n to play with. We had a nice lunch. Erica had a story of deer bones I'll never forget and am still giggling every time I think of it. Steve was kind enough to drive us from Lag. Bch down to San Clemente. Lag. Bch was over populated as usual, San C. not so bad; but still no parking. We stopped in San Juan so I could show them my tiny town. I was hoping to get them in to the Swallows Inn, but they were having a fun raiser and packed to the ceiling. So we strolled around the antique barn instead and took in the few shops that we do have in town. It was a great time and Sheri was just as lovely in person as she is on line. Today is the start of summer school and I don't have a job. I have an interview at 11 at a Italian restaurant today. The local drug store is hireing too. I'm sure I can scare up something. I'm also nervous because Pudd'n starts middle school today. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly. Unfortunatly it won't be at his regular location. His middle school is going to another location for the summer. It would be easier if they just stayed put. Not much I can do about that. Labels: blog buddys, job hunting, school

My favorite bible thumping nut job nominated me for................
 I feel very honored. I think Kelly rocks herself. She is a stay at home mom for 3 kids and hasn't killed them yet. I do enjoy the pictures of her kids, they are darn cute! So I guess I should pass on the honors. But who to pick? So many great gals out there. Ok, first I'll pick: Sandy at the Pea Patch. She is wicked funny and I love her stories of her grandmother. I also love Sandy's cooking and have gotten a few tasty recipes from her. She's a down to earth gal with a stunning daughter and a brave husband over in the sand box right now. 2nd I'll pick my girl Chickie. Not only is she raising 3 kids (two are teenagers! GAH!!!) but she is going to school and studing stuff that would make my brain explode. Before she had to go incognito I thourally enjoyed the pictures of her daughter Dolly. Chickie also has a naughty side too, have you seen her current meme?? 3rd is a tie between LL over at Chromed & Curses and Queen of Dysfunction. They are both a daily read. LL has a heart of gold, tells it like it is and loves her children fiercly. The Queen is hysterically funny. I wish I could write like her and I'm really kinda scared she does have kids............heh heh hehehheh........ So there ya have it barflies. Hope every one is having a great weekend.
