when this post goes up, i’ll be on the way Logan airport, with a ticket to board a plane that will fly a LONG way south and land on a beach. 
yes.
heaven awaits me.
i’m whiter than white. i haven’t purchased a swimsuit in three years. and, unfortunately, i’m about to get sunburned. i’m a little nervous about these facts. but, this won’t stop me! i’ve long-missed my beloved beach time.
its coming. for a week. with my in-laws - who i LOOOOOOOVE. i’m so excited.
even though i’m on vacation, this blog won’t be. i’m telling beach secrets from my life on an island. so stick around, and i might pop my head in to check on things. but, until i return, do what Tam tells you to do, ’cause she’s gonna be blog-sitting for me.
yes, she loves me (and y’all) that much.
y’all behave yourselves around here!

Girl, how is it that I LIVE at the beach and you’re still going to get more beach time this week than I probably will all stinkin summer long?? I’m just a smidge jealous of your vaca…
Have a wonderful, lazy, relaxin time at the beach. I’m sure it won’t take you but a second to remember how to live it up beach style. And EMBRACE your whiteness — I feel your pain, girl, and have learned to love the “porcelain” look.

I am sooooooo jealous. It’s snowing here right now. SNOW.ING. Looking out from one window it’s blowing sideways, another window it’s gently fall, and another window…well I can’t see out of it b/c it’s got snow all over it.
HAVE FUN!

Did Tam just say “put out” on Mandy’a innocent blog?
!!!!

bran, where on earth are you that it is snowing???
jonsquared // May 10, 2008 at 12:52 am
I don’t know why, but when I first read the title of this blog post, I read “I’m about to get married.”
TheNorEaster // May 10, 2008 at 2:13 am
Enjoy your vacation, Mandy.
I’m sure Tam will have things all messed up by the time you get back.
TheNorEaster // May 10, 2008 at 2:14 am
Err…I meant to say “all tidied up by the time you get back.”
TheNorEaster // May 10, 2008 at 2:14 am
(I think.)
tam // May 10, 2008 at 2:46 am
thanks Nor
Jonsquared - hmmmm married/burned…to some, that would make sense!
cathi stegall // May 10, 2008 at 4:15 am
stegall thought for the day: a sun burn is life’s simple way of saying, “why in the world weren’t you here sooner?”
bransblahg // May 10, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Kelly…. I’m in North Dakota.
haha!
tam // May 10, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Cathi
you need to write a book of funny quotes. I would SO buy it!
cathi stegall // May 10, 2008 at 7:28 pm
yeah, and it would be called “unquotable quotes from the preacher’s wife” or “who framed roger rabbit”…one of those has been taken already, but that’s where we at cathistegall.com get creative and take out the enemy with a flammable bubble maker!
alece // May 10, 2008 at 8:30 pm
i miss you!
tam // May 11, 2008 at 1:34 am
no you don’t Alece
alece // May 11, 2008 at 1:45 am
tam… don’t make me throw down on you.
