This time tomorrow...

I will ALMOST be in Gulf Shores! Shortly afterward, I will be lying on the beach, soaking up the rays, listening to the waves, and smelling the salt air. Toss in a good book, some snacks, and lots of water, and I'm good to go for hours.

I did the dreaded Wal-Mart trip this morning to get tons of snacks and Coppertone. Nothing says "beach" to me like the smell of Coppertone! I decided I'd actually get something with a little SPF in it this time. Instead of getting SPF 4, I went with SPF 10. Yeah, I know...that isn't a lot, but I figure 10 is better than 4. Or none, which I have been known to do. Remember the days of baby oil and iodine? One thing I DO make sure I have is lip balm with a high SPF. I hate burned lips!

When I get back, it will be time for a hair cut and color. I've decided to go with color for the gray PLUS highlights. I did highlights several years ago, but it was too much trouble. Now, since I have to go get my gray covered up every 8 weeks or so, I might as well do the highlights, too. Unless Lynn convinces me differently, I want to do medium golden blonde highlights. I'm not one who can carry an all over blonde, but I think highlights would be okay. If they aren't, they can be covered, right?

When I get back, I will ALSO be having my license renewed to add my BOATER designation. Woo Hoo!! It isn't that I plan on driving the boat that much, but who knows when I might decide I want to or when I HAVE to. I'd much rather let John drive while I soak up the sun. (Usually with no sunscreen...)

That's about it for now. I need to shower, again (tanning bed stink...PEE EWW!!!) I debated taking my laptop to the beach so I could keep up and maybe even write a post or two, but I decided not to, so this will be it for a few days.

Have a GREAT day/week/weekend!

Love,
