Happy Friday 5 – Don’t Bring Sand to the Beach
Happy Friday, All!
Don’t bring sand to the beach. Especially if the beach is already full of cute, single, southern sand.
Today’s post is bright to you by The South. I love being back in the south! I honestly think I might stay a very long while. Here are five reasons why:
Why I love The South: The people. The southern gentlemen. And there are many single men. People are polite. These are my peeps. I immediately felt welcomed in a way that I’ve only ever experienced with southerners.
Why I love The South: The parties. My first week here and I’ve already been invited to two potlucks with bands, one on the beach. Although I was invited to ride along with a couple men, I am reminded of the phrase: Don’t bring sand to the beach. I will most likely drive my car.
What I’m practicing: Island time. Here in particular, everyone seems to be on Island time. There’s no rush. Appointments are merely suggestions, or rough estimates. People are more relaxed about setting up dates or appointments. Even though it’s been over five years, having lived in the hustle-and-bustle of the San Jose Bay Area for so long, I became accustomed to that rat-race pace of life. Island time is taking some getting used to – but I am fully on board with incorporating this practice!
Why I love The South: The beaches. The sun. The gulf coast. The sunsets. The sunsets are INCREDIBLE! I have to take pictures for you all, and will tonight at the beach party (I think it’s on an island – hard to tell, as they all kind of run together here). Meanwhile, here are some from a lovely lagoon.
What I’m doing: Everyone here is VERY tan. I am working on mine so as not to stand out like a northerner.
What I’m watching: Ahh, I’m in love. This man makes me want to get nekid. Check him out on Facebook for more funny southern shit. Without further ado, Chad Prather:

Some of my fondest memories took place on Gulf beaches! Except for the Portuguese Man-of-War stings. You neei chose to retire not pursue those. The South is also in my future, as retirement gets closer. Keep up the posts and reminding me of why I want outta CA.
LOL! Yup, I’ve got no desire to go back to Cali, other than to see some friends. But, hey, they are welcome to come see me in Florida! Let me know when you head out – I may still be here 🙂
