I had a Beach Emergency.

I haven't been feelin' so hot the past couple of days. I just started on birth control pills and a week into it, I'm hating my uterus. I've had nausea and a sour stomach for three days and it's taking all my strength (and my strong desire never to have kids) to keep taking the damn pills.

So what did I do? Monday I called in sick and headed to the beach. It was the first time in several weeks that Houston was scheduled to have sunny skies, and I figured that the best thing one can do when *ahem* sick on a Monday morning would be to make a short drive to the beach and take in the local scenery in the peace and quiet sound of everyone else in the city working. :)

I drove up to the Seawall in Galveston to the Dolphin statues near 61st street and took in the view.

I drove a little further down and revelled in the fact that everyone I knew was at work and I was at the beach. This is the picture I sent thru my cell phone to everyone at work.

I passed the Poop Deck, where "Execs meet with bare feet!" <--they have that sign above the door.

I drove down to my favorite store on the beach. They boast to have "Beers, Gifts, Shells, and Tees!" Boy... did they deliver ;)

Hey! They even have pirate stuff! Score!

They also had (crunchy?) owls made out of shells.

Yes. This is true.

All in all, I enjoyed my day at the beach. Judging from my pasty white skin color, many more days at ze beach is not such a bad idea.

Happy Thursday to all! (due to my "sick" days this week, it's only Tuesday for me!)
