Well, about 4 hours later, here I am… just got home. I took down my other post, I just posted it in case I had to spend all weekend there, so you would all know where I am :-) In case you didn’t read it, this morning I got myself arrested. For what you ask? Ah, well there’s the fun part… I bounced a check a few years ago and totally forgot about. Turns out someone had put out a warrant out for my arrest and they decided that on a beginning of a holiday weekend they were going to come and get me.

So, I got in the back of the squad car, which by the way is VERY small, and took my trip “downtown”…. and in this case it is literal, the jail is all the way downtown. A few “stand here, sit here, thumbprint here” and I was put into an equally small cell – with 2 other women that can only be described as ‘different’ from me, lol. Both heavily tattooed, both brought in on assault charges, and both scary as hell. So, the lone white girl (me!) sat there on a tiny bench in a tiny room that was no bigger than a half bathroom discussing how I came here on a bounced check.

Then the fun really began…

Turns out Joy, the 38 year old mother of 7 grown children and 6 grandbabies as she put it, got her “monthly friend” so she went on and on and ON about how they wouldn’t give her a pad to wear. Um, yeah, I think I noticed that when she stood up and I looked at her too tight shorts up to “here” with her tiny tank top. Apparently she never got to put on anything and it showed :-) The other one who had been there since 5am didn’t have any water to drink… .so to say they were a little pissed off was an understatement. I just kept my mouth shut and tried to look as mean as I could, lol.

Then it was lunchtime (at 11am mind you) and I was served the wonderful macaroni and beef, corn bread left over from 1982 and a carton of milk that expired last week. Fun times…

Finally Mike came and bonded me out at a whopping $453 and 3 hours after I started the processing I was out.

Now, I’m going to take some highly needed pills to knock me out and I’m going to take a much needed nap to get this adrenaline rush out of my system.

I’m not sure what the heck happened… I never put a “private” post in, but yet the post I did yesterday came up private… I got your comments but wasn’t sure what the heck you all meant! It wasn’t until Kate said something about private that I realized it came up that way… not sure why! I checked it and it said public… so I’m trying to post it again to see what happens…. let me know if you can read it! (Edited to add…. I think it had something to do with the new category… not sure why it went private though!)

Well I’m back, and not so happy about it, lol.

The beach was fabulous!! I can’t begin to tell you all the fun we had, and boy did we ever. From the first day we got there to the last morning before we left there were loads of fun things to do, a great beach which I took full advantage of, many laughs, and just a relaxing kind of attitude that I personally haven’t had in a long time.

I have a ton of pictures to upload, but here are some of the highlights…

The first day we were on the beach to watch the sunrise and were in the water by like 7:30am. The water was SO warm and each day was seemingly more perfect than the last. I definitely got some color, sunburn would be one of those colors one day, lol… but by the 3rd day into it my sunburn turned into a nice golden brown…. My son was way more into the water fun. We brought his boogie board and everyday he tried to see what waves he could catch – by the end of the week he was a little pro! He even braved the waves on the day that I wouldn’t even go in because of how high they were! (But I wouldn’t let him go out that far either, lol)

For fun during the day when it was too hot on the beach we went shopping, to the Myrtle Beach Aquarium, Margaritaville for lunch, miniature golfing, out to dinner a ton of times, souvenir shopping, Barefoot Landing to watch fireworks, and what I think was our favorite… we went to MagiQuest…

If you haven’t done Magiquest you absolutely MUST go! It’s like being inside a video game of sorts where you have to find clues that lead you to different items that you have to collect and bring to whomever, such as the “man in the tree.” All you get is a book and a wand and 90 minutes of fun… but let me tell you – it IS fun!!!! For example, we had to find the freeze emblem so we had to hunt down these symbols that we can only figure out by reading the clues… and then we had to run around this HUGE building (both up and down stairs) to figure out what they were talking about it. It really was the coolest thing ever… but boy, by the time our 90 minutes were up my feet hurt and I was exhausted, lol. Each quest you take on gives you a different emblem and then after you do all 12 of them you get to go on an adventure. Your wand builds up points and you use it to wave and point at an item so like if you wave it at a treasure chest it will “magically” open up and things will start talking to you. SO FREAKING COOL! My son had a blast with it, and even though we were only able to get 5 done in the 90 minutes, we can keep our wand and go to another MagiQuest and finish it up! You gotta love interactive stuff like this! Secretly I think I enjoyed it more than he did, lol, as all the parents seemed to be WAY more interested in finding the clues than that kids, but they loved all the stuff the wand could do. I highly recommend it for children and adults!

Let’s see… what else can I tell you… hmmm… I don’t even know. We did SO much but yet, it is so much of a blur! It went by so quickly so when I look at the pictures I’ll inundate you with good stories :-) Hope you all had a great week and I will be certain to come visit your blogs today to catch up on what I missed with you!

Getting ready for a 1 week beach vacation is NOT as easy as everyone things ;) Especially since I had a lot of work this week to do, not to mention baseball practice, swimming lessons, and all this other crap. I am officially overloaded and ready to go :-)

I’ll be posting on Facebook since I have no idea how to upload pictures on here from my Blackberry, so if you want to keep up with our adventure then make sure to click on me down at the bottom of this page so you can be my facebook friend! I’ll check in daily there and let you know all the fun I’m having :-)

See you 1 week from tomorrow!! Enjoy your week!!

If you haven’t figured out what to give your father, your husband, your brother, your son, or virtually any man in your life that is a father himself, then you are running out of time :-) Father’s Day is just a few days away!!

It’s hard isn’t though? It seems like men always just buy what they want rather than waiting for it, which makes our job as a woman that much harder when trying to buy them something! Well luckily for us Mom Central has put together a great Father’s Day Gift Guide & Giveaway! Not only can you enter to win one of the many great prizes but you can also get links to purchase any item you see there in case you see something you like!

The gifts that you can win are amazing too… today for instance they have an awesome Jeep Family Cabin Dome which is great for camping, as well as a personalized gift from Things Remembered. They have new stuff every day so you have to go back there and enter every single day… but that just gives you more chances to win! Not only that, take a look at the gift guide itself and it will give you some great ideas of what you can buy your own man in your life!

So, stop on by Mom Central’s Father’s Day Gift Guide & Giveaway and then get to entering! And shopping!! Only a few more days left ;)

Now I know some of you didn’t see it (Facebook is so instaneous that I find out that stuff before I find it out here, lol), but who watched RHONJ last night?

I won’t spoil it for those who didn’t yet, but OMG was it good! I HATE Danielle… almost as much as I hated Kelly from RHONY! I couldn’t believe she had the balls to bring to the book to the party! And I couldn’t believe how Thersa reacted, lol… that was pure fun!

But do you know what ticks me off about it? The fact that there was only 6 episodes to the entire “series” and last night was the series finale. Boohoo :( For me, by far, that was the best out of all of them. I don’t know why, but it really entertained me far more than any of the other RHOOC.

And do you know what is starting just a few weeks way? Big Brother! Another one of my many reality TV addictions!

This week has been crazy so far… swimming class everyday, the gym every day and then tonight starts baseball. I still need to manage to find time to get ready for my trip on Saturday, and also find some time to work… because I got a huge job this past week! But huge jobs mean time, and time is something I am definitely lacking this week :-)

It’s seems that every day was super busy and this weekend was no exception…

Starting Friday we went to the pool with a friend and her grandchildren (She is a very young grandmother!), and then from there my mom picked up my son and off they went for a fun filled day of shopping, dinner and playing. As for me, I just sat back and relaxed for the first time that week from 2:30pm on… the freedom of being alone was quite nice :-)

Then I went to the bar and got pretty stinking drunk…. my tolerance level for alcohol is at an all time low because of the fact that 1) I’m on diuretics and 2) I am not drinking nearly as much because I want to save my calories for food rather than beer :-) So after a trip to a second bar where I met a great guy. He was a very tall engineer type was kicked my ass in pool (always a plus when I meet a man!) and he was just generally funny and cute and made good money… the whole package.

He was also married :( So, we said goodnight and I went home (no, I wasn’t driving, I had someone else drive me home!)

Saturday, slept in, drove 50 minutes to pick up my son and then another 45 minutes to bring him to a birthday party. Drove 35 minutes to my friends house before driving to yet another pool where we let the kids play for hours while the adults indulged in some great fun playing beer pong! And let me tell you – for my first time playing, I have some skills!! We ended up losing 2 games because my partner wasn’t holding up his end of the partnership, and it didn’t help that the guys we were playing were super good!!! Anyways, back to Amy’s for an all night good time complete with firepit, random friend playing great songs on the guitar, neighbors from across the street coming over at 3am, and some American Idol singing to round out the night. I swear, that house is like the best party house EVER without even ever having a “party” so to speak… people just end up over there. You can’t get any better than that!

Yesterday I recuperated while working and sleeping, and now it’s Monday.

So far I have brought my son to swimming lessons, gone to lunch, gone to the doctor, driven home where I’m going to finish some work and head back to the gym for 1) nutrition appoint with the dietitian 2) Personal Training 3) Yogalates class (half yoga, half pilates)

I’m so freaking tired I can’t even tell you.

Damn, this was one of the most boring posts in a long time.. I’m so not humorous anymore, lol.

FIVE MORE DAYS TILL MYRTLE BEACH!!!! I’m going to need this vacation :-)
