Since we have not had anything resembling summer this year, it is quite simple as to how I will spend my birthday in November.
I am going to go to the tropics for one week. I will slather on sunscreen and sit in the sun, romp on the beach, and play in the ocean. I may even wear a two piece bathing suit, as I hear that the laws against indecent exposure are less strict there, than they are here in the states.
I will dance under the moon light and have breakfast overlooking the sea.
Yes, we had rain again today.
I cannot believe the amount of rain that has fallen this summer, nor can I believe the hail storms we have had either. Until this summer I had seen a few hail storms in my life. This year, I have lost count on how many of them we have had.
Forget the gentle breezes, or the long lazy days of sunshine and heat, it has been one wet mess after another.
I want the sunshine. I want the heat that we only get for two maybe three months before it starts to get cold again! I want to be able to justify why I am wearing shorts when I go to Weight Watchers each week when the temperatures are in the 60’s, other than they weigh less than pants and I am trying to lose those last nine pounds any way I can!
Oh the sun actually did come out for a bit today. Just to tease us, I think. For just when I thought perhaps we might not have another day of rain, the clouds came back and the rain began to fall in sheets!
So, it’s simple. I’ll just make sure that for my birthday I have sunshine, warm temperatures and gentle tropical breezes.
Ah, excuse me while I go lie down and dream.
Then I guess you would NOT like to hear that we had sun ALL day here then?? No, I thought not…
But the down side was, it was bitterly cold this morning, ice on the windscreen of the car, and only a top of 15!!!!
I am waiting to see photos of your holiday… Oh the warm tropics!
Me too, I can’t wait for MY trip in Nov. as well. I wish we were going to be together for part of it. You could extend yours and join us for a few days!!!!
The weather here recently has been amazing, it’s like living in Hawaii. I’m sorry to hear it hasn’t been very nice for you. 🙁
It seems you will enjoy a wonderful birthday!!
Wear a bikini by all means! I (re)started in my 40’s when I realized it wasn’t going to get any better, lol!
The tropics in November sounds GRAND to me! According to Gattina, you MIGHT be living in Belgium! Have you checked your map recently???
At least we have tons and tons of mushrooms! have you SEEN them all?
Are you passing through FL on your way? I’ll be down there by November! 🙂
Hi Mom,
I definitely know what you mean. I apparently had to come all the way down to TX to experience warm, summer weather! Congrats on your weight loss this week! Hope all is well!
Love you,
Mandy
Can I come too? *giggles* We’ve been talking about a trip in the autumn to the sun, but it seems like we’re not going to make it. A lot of dentist appointments put an end to that. Arrrgh.
