I knew when I sat down on the couch Thursday night, drink in hand and a netbook logged into FanFiction.net’s CSI section, that I wasn’t going to write a Flashback Friday. I simply didn’t have it in me. I have ideas for future posts, but I just couldn’t muster the focus to write one up for last week. Plus, I was already logging out of reality in preparation for the impending beach trip scheduled to start the following morning. <\/p>\n

I do apologize, though, denizens, for not explaining this beforehand. That was<\/em> a bit rude of me, no? <\/p>\n

So, yes, it was a long beachy weekend of eating deliciously bad-for-you foods, drinking bad-for-you drinks, and parking our butts under an umbrella and reading for hours while the soundtrack of waves against shoreline played steadily in the background. <\/p>\n

It was wonderful. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not by nature a beach person. Anyone who has seen La Loba knows that I am known as the White Wolf for many reasons, least of which is my Casper-like pallor. Even when slathered in SPF-OHMYGODYOUAREWHITE, I can still burn. Which is what happened this weekend. Strange patches of red on my ankles. A random streak on my shoulder. My earlobes (I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had sunburn on my ears before). And a frustratingly itchy red ring around my neck. <\/p>\n

Yes, denizens. For the moment, I am truly a “redneck.” Please don’t hold it against me. <\/p>\n

And now I’m back with my funky burn, reinvigorated freckles, and three new books for the Book Bin. Yes, I was gone for four days and I finished three books. Book reading nerdery, FTW. So stay tuned, denizens. Stay. Tuned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
