Weekend Bits & Bobs: July 20, 2014: Life on the Coast

Nothing to Disclose

♥



There are so many bits and bobs over the last few weeks that I can't catch up. But yesterday evening I went out with friends...had a great dinner and a little "dolphin cruise" which was great for the kiddos.

There was the coolest decal on the wall at the restaurant - Avery's in Port Aransas.


I am SO gonna paint that!

The "cruise" wasn't anything I haven't done on my boat before but somehow with friends, it's just so much more fun.


I forgot the sunscreen. So should I get a new hat?


Nah.

Leaving the dock...



I forgot my camera so I had to use the cell. Dolphins are hard to capture with a cell phone. Yeah they're porpoises. But I gave up trying to change people.



But the beach is pretty...



And the sailboats...



There's even a pirate ship now!




When it fired its guns it startled me!




And the lighthouse was gorgeous...



Especially at sunset...






And they drag a little net and put what they find in a little "pool" so the kids can see and touch (when appropriate) the sea life. They LOVED IT!

Crab

And a smooth butterfly ray...


There were tiny squid and seahorses and fish and and and...the kids went nuts.

I wore Marc Jacobs Bark as my mani and I didn't get ONE photo of it! And I'm not even sorry! I chopped my nails to nubs when I got back from Vegas - I broke some while luggage-wrangling so it was time.

But it was easy to pick out my "favorite manis of the week" since it was Digital Dozen week!









OH! And don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY!!!  My birthday is Thursday and i'm celebrating by giving away the Colors by Llarowe Emily's Imagination Collection and the Show Me! Collection! Click the link above or on the left sidebar and GOOD LUCK!

Happy Sunday!

Nothing to Disclose

Once again, a pretty uneventful week. Still no word on my car, purse, etc. Not that I expected any. But if I ever find the ones who stole them, this is the meme that pops into me head...

Weekend Bits and Bobs: December 1, 2013 - Mascara, Majestic Unicorns and a BIRD FIGHT!

Nothing to Disclose

♥




Happy December! One major holiday down, one to go before we can get a reprieve. Part of me (the child inside who still thinks it's possible to make a Frank Capra holiday happen) loves holidays and part of me (the rational adult) hates them. As if I didn't have enough internal conflict already. So I'm always happy to see January.

But Thanksgiving was good. The weather turned warm again. I ate too much.

Decided to spend the day on the water yesterday and laughed my butt off at the interaction between these two birds.

Weekend Bits and Bobs - September 28, 2013

Nothing to Disclose

Not a lot going on this week in my world - it's Autumn, or so I hear, so I did an Autumn mani I really liked.





Went boating...

Boating on the Texas Coast

♥


Good morning! Well, okay...afternoon. Today I have a different sort of post for you. I'm working on LOTS of swatches of pretty polish to show you, but in the mean time, I thought I'd leave you a few photos of what boating is like on the South Texas Coast.

Hope you enjoy! Come back later for more pretty polish!
