The weather for the end of next week on the east coast of Northern Florida: mostly clear to mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid-70s. Lows in the upper 50s.
Yes, it’s that time again: Book Club Beach Trip!
Above is a photo of me in Puerto Rico, but you get the idea.
For me, BCBT means catching up with old friends, drinking too much beer with the goal of getting B.M. tipsy, playing Rook, and long walks on the beach. It also means reading, eating, and sleeping–all three more than the usual!
For you, BCBT means Ash will prolly post photos of scantily-clad beach babes on the bloggie, and I might make an appearance, albeit not scantily-clad, though my blogging will depend on whether or not wireless has spread beyond the local Taco Bell in the small town near the condo yet.
For E-spouse, BCBT means getting a taste of Mommy organizational, cleaning, and cooking skills (checking backpacks, signing forms, remembering who goes where when, grocery shopping and meal planning, carpools, picking up toys). He does a pretty good job, although I do know that the three hours before I get home are typically devoted to the only cleaning that will happen in the four days I’m away.
For the kids, BCBT means emotional meltdowns punctuated by fun schedule changes, like extra video time after school while E’s working and ice cream every night after dinner.
I’ll be around for a couple more days, just thought I’d warn you.

Have a great time, EM. You deserve it!
A little lower and to the left please. (That would be where I live in FLA.)
Have a great visit and some orange juice.
Cheers, AD
You deserve a vacay, Mama! You have been workin’ your arse off & doing the single parent thing for so long now! Here’s to endless mojitos, lotsa fun in da sun, & maybe a REAL tat this time
Have so much fun!
That is a serious “Don’t Mess With My Beer” face, EM.
Too bad the Redhead and I won’t be getting to Florida until after you leave, and we’ll be in the southern part of the state…ah, well. We’ll hang on a beach some other time…
Enjoy yourself!
You mean ice cream every night, for dinner..
It’s all about Rook
Cannot wait!! I really need to stop thinking about friends, the beach and beer and actually go plan this worship service I have to do in 3 hours.
YOu do look awfully serious in that pic, but I think I can take you.
Yep…I’m gonna mess with your beer.
Steve~
you won’t believe what i’m dreaming up…
