More Beach Action
Aug. 27th, 2011 09:28 pmThe kiddos talked me into more beach trips to the lovely but somewhat busy beach. More people getting married, riding horses, surfing, rock climbing, doing yoga on tightropes... The kids dug holes, romped, poured buckets of water on one another. Me, I just read on a blanket.
I declared that I was celebrating my birthday all weekend long, which somehow inspired the Mister to give me his gift a day early. He handed me the package. "I hate to unwrap it and tear this beautiful paper," I said. "The brown paper wrapping is appropriate," said he. It was an ereader onto which he'd loaded my blue alien pr0n, and a number of books from my wish lists as well as known faves. I like it way much. It's the e-ink Nook that's super frugal with battery use. It's kinda bad I think, but instead of my new books, I ended up reading my own fanfiction. Then I stopped and did some edit work on Chapter 14, trying to better express how he'd gotten his hopes up only to have them dashed.
