Everything is better at the beach....

and this week has been no exception to that rule. I have had a week full of family and friends, food, booze, and laughter. And I am super grateful. The beach is my happy place, and having all these people, whom I love so fiercely, in the same magical place, is pretty much a fucking dream. And waking up to this doesn't hurt, either. 

What's to drink....

Pretty much everything. Is that a good answer? Regardless, it's the truth, but I figured I'd pick one of my faves from the week. These are soooo good. I don't typically love sweet drinks but this baby hits the spot (the "spot" being about 12 pm on the beach). Cheers!

What's to eat....

Pretty much everything, again. We try to keep it simple down here because lugging all this shit on and off the beach is hard enough. So last night's dinner was a little of this, a little of that, and some pretty amazing sushi from Little Sumo's Sushi Shack in Surf City.  

A bunch of really delicious shit

Working on my IDGAF (I don't give a fuck) jar....

and I have another thing to put in it. I have had a notoriously bad track record for exercising while I'm on vacation. It usually looks something like this...I go in with the best intentions, I pack workout clothes, throw a kettlebell or some dumbbells in the car, some bands, a jump rope, etc. and then I just fucking stare at it all week long. And then I start to feel like all that excercise shit is heckling me to get off my lazy ass and DO something, but you know what, I just don't wanna. So, I'm not. And I'm putting it in the IDGAF jar because I'm done beating myself up about it. I work hard all year long. My vacation is mine to do with what and how I want.  And right now, I'm gonna sit on my ass and have a twisted tea.

Wishing you ALL of the Good Stuff.
