Summer is slipping away fast and I feel like before I know it, it'll be winter and I'll be forced indoors for another long 4 or 5 months. To me, that sounds like prison and I've been telling myself to live in the now and all that crap, but this dreary summer day isn't allowing me to do that. It's just that I love spring and summer, and even a little bit of fall but winter, I could do without. I've wanted to live on the beach, a beach with no winter, for as long as I can remember. I envision it, put it on my "dream board" like Oprah says to do, and think to myself that it's a realistic goal to buy a house on the coast someday - in Malibu, Venice, even Marina del Rey. People think it's ridiculous, but screw them; people actually do live there, they aren't imaginary people, ya know.
Besides, to quote an OC housewife, I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Aside from winning the lottery, I'm pretty sure that until my amazing kids go off to do something awesome and I follow them like a sad and desperate puppy, there's only one thing that'll take me there. Me.
Even if it's just a little shack to escape from these dismal winters, I'll take it. I hate to use the word settle, but I'll settle for that. At least there, I'll be able sit on the tiny deck and watch MM* run past on the beach with his kids, who yell up, "Hi Izzy! Hi Beckham!" to mine. Shirtless MM gives me the "What's up" nod, and on his way back, stops in for a margarita and we watch the sun set......
oh, sorry, I'll wake up now.
Anyway, back to writing. I'm on a roll, and I hope it lasts.

you are aware that you mentioned some OC housewife and Oprah in the same blog post, right?
That's downright spooky.
dream board? Ack.
Your reality is what you make it. Their reality is not what we see on tv but all that other stuff that we don't see.
I'm sure a beach is nice and all but summer ain't over yet. I'll even venture to bet that after this one there's gonna be a spring and summer next year too.
Oh whatever RBA, you must be onea those that thinks oprah is god. Look! I didn't even capitalize either oprah or god!! And yes, dream board. OPRAH does it. And, it helps me get wine when I need it;) the wine just seems to come to me.
Interesting post! It was pleasure reading your post! Thanks for the share.
