I had decided, a few weeks ago, to take almost the entire month of August off. And after this last trip, I need some relaxation more than ever, right?
I decided to invite some friends out to the Oregon Coast to hang out for a few days, go deep sea fishing, crabbing, antiquing, see some Community Theatre, bonfires on our beach at night, visit some local wineries, tour the cheese factory, do some kayaking, eat some amazing local seafood and play "Sorry".
My Beloved has a cool little motel on the port in Garibaldi, OR, which is the premier Dungeness crab port in upper Oregon. He gave me a few rooms for my friends for the extended weekend of Aug 22-26.
Of course, the first person I invited was Teddy, since we have been BFF since we first met here on EX, despite the fact that she is a MUCH sweeter, lovelier person than I could ever hope to be.
When personality traits were being dealt out, she got the warm, caring, forgiving, loving, patient traits. She's awesome. In my next life, I want those traits! In this life, I got the blunt, practical, sensible, factual, functional, hard-boiled traits.
Teddy and I being close friends is like putting rubber garden boots next to patent leather 4" high heels. It's like putting Alka-Selter next to a vodka martini. It's like putting a #2 lead pencil next to a Mont Blanc pen. But our friendship works. We like it. A lot.
Tonight, my beloved friend Teddy had to decline my invitation to come out to the Oregon Coast. All of her reasons greatly appeal to that "sensible, factual, functional" part of me. I understand. If I were Teddy, I'd say I am broken-hearted about her not coming. Since I'm hard-boiled ME, I say "I am disappointed. But her reasons make sense.".
But...wait. She says she needs a new toilet. I rank below a new toilet? It's a darn good thing I have a sense of humor, isn't it? Aaaaaahahahahah.... LOL
I love you, Teddy.
Don't smoke. It's really bad for you. However, laughing is EXCELLENT for you.
xxxooo, Sky
