We have successfully made our yearly migration to the beach! By we I mean my mom, two of my sisters and my and grandma. We are also about a month early. All these things have to do with my summer schedule. I am taking an intensive greek class at that school in Austin ALL summer long. My mom didn't want me to miss out on the beach so we decided that us (college) girls would head to the beach early! YAY!
Catherine and I flew out of Midland International Airport Sunday morning, we met my mom and grandma in Dallas, they had flown from the San Angelo airport. Then we flew to Norfolk, VA where we met Candace who had flown from Houston to Miami to Norfolk. Quite an exciting way to meet up don't you think?
Well from Norfolk we jumped in our rental car and headed to Nags Head, NC, home of our beach house. It's only a 90 mile drive, but it was already dark and it's been raining since we got here...not much beach time :(
Oh well I'm still sitting in my bedroom with my windows open, listening to the ocean roll in and out, the rain hitting the shingles, and my sisters cleaning downstairs (hahaha), waiting on my mom to get back with some delicious Dixie BBQ, pork not brisket as we are in the South and not in Texas. All in all it's going to be an awesome 2 weeks (if it stops raining).

Pet Addiction?
So if you've even glanced over any of the pictures on here you might have noticed that I have pets. My two lovely labs Lizzy and Dixie and my fluff cat Pliny (Iske's brother), Pliny's mother returned home a couple of weeks ago, the prodigal pregnant cat. She was very very preggers so I brought her in, went and bought kitten food and made her a box in the garage. The next morning I come out to 5 tiny mewing babies. They are adorable, but really...I now have 7 cats.
Which brings me to my point, my pet addiction. I've found a new hobby as of late, I can't help myself but to stop anytime I see a lost animal running around. I pick it up, take it home, feed it and love it, and post on Craigslist that I've found it.
The first time this opened was about a month ago, I rescued 3 puppies that were chained together running down Victoria, well really the lab puppy and pit mix puppy were dragging the dachshund puppy along with them. I had them for 2 days and a night when their very grateful owners called me from my ad and came and picked them up.
Well it happened again last night, I was outside with Dixie admiring my new walkway lights when two big dogs came bounding down the street. A big German Shepherd mix and a Yellow Lab mix. They had collars but no tags, so I brought them in and put them in the backyard. My neighbor went walking Peanut and Dixie and happened upon the missing dogs owners out looking for them. Another happy ending!! I just can't help it, it's addicting to take in these animals, care for them, make sure they're not out in the elements and then reunite them happily with their owners. Is this wrong? I could get in trouble in the long run if owners don't show...then what do I do with the babies? Oh well, to quote Ms. Scarlett O'Hara, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
