| Okay, I've been trying to fix the uploading problem so I can post the beach photos. However, the International Sisterhood of Bridesmaids (Local Union 101) has also been officially launched. :) I'll post the offical founding documents Up on My Soapbox soon. In the meantime, I'm going to test my uploading solution with a little preview.... |  logo Originally uploaded by GypsyPeach. |

And we're back!
So I'm home from the beach, about to sleep in my own Big Girl Bed and curl up with my dog. Upon my return, Bella whimpered and wiggled and followed me from room to room. The cat tried not to even look in my direction until I got back from walking the dog, at which point he shoved both paws under the crack below the door and waved them frantically. When we got inside, I was treated to a full figure-eight leg rub, which is about as good as it gets.
It's funny how a vacation home/set-up starts to feel like your only reality after a while. In a lot of ways, it went too fast. On the other hand, by this afternoon, my hermit-crab-buying adventure with Gwen on the first night felt like it very well could have taken place during a previous summer.
There were dozens of dolphins frolicking in the water, just a few yards from the swimmers. Yesterday, I went boogie-boarding, something I haven't done since I was 9 when I got my ass kicked by a wave and ended up staggering onto the beach with a bloody nose.
I dove into the waves again and again, trying to ride in while ignoring the jellyfish rising in pods with each wave. I caught a few good rides, then scraped the top of my foot on the ocean floor and gave my inner 9-year-old a time out. It was nice, though.
We did miss hefk very, very much, but she was with us in her own way. (If you liked Gwen Head, you'll definitely want to click on this link... ;)

Go, papayas! Go, go, papayas! P-A-P-A-Y-A-S! Go, papayas!
I can't tear my eyes away from Girls vs. Boys: Hawaii. Resident Destructo-Kitty (Fred) knocked a glass of water over onto the remote this morning, and I can't change the channel off the-N. You know, unless I stood up, walked into the other room and fetched the other remote. Or changed the channel manually.
Basically, it's a reality game show crafted to appeal to tweens. The participants are youngish (16-and-under) teens who share a house in Hawaii and compete in contests for a $10,000 (split three ways) and a "Back to School Wardrobe from Aeropostale."
In this episode, which I have now seen twice, two teammates have to run around a papaya grove, tied together by an 8-foot rope, and knock painted papayas out of trees with a long metal stick. The third teammate gives them directions over headsets from a helicopter, directing them to the special painted papaya trees, because you can't see the painted papayas from the ground.
In early Real World fashion, the producers have picked relatively normal people and throw in a very dislikable person. The boys are currently losing, but they seem to be getting along fairly well. The girls are winning, but unfortunately, they have the Wild Card Participant, a scary girl from Texas with a serious need for drama.
Papayas aside, the best part of the show takes place right after the girls lose a competition that involved eating spam and then making a tower out of it with chunks they retrieve from the ocean. Who sits around thinking, "I know! We'll tie bags of spam to buoys!" But hey- I'm watching it, so who am I to cast aspersions? Anyway, Drama Queen couldn't/wouldn't eat any of the spam, and they lost that particular challenge. Still though, with apologies to TwoP Kim's "Most Awesome Thing I Saw on TV Last Week," the footage of Drama Queen running around on the beach with racoon mascara shrieking "OKAY! So I couldn't eat it! I COULDN'T EAT IT!!!!!!" is, well, Most Awesome Thing I Saw on TV this week.
