alsoooo...

on my drive home from work today, i was dancing wildly to that ridiculous "california girls" song and looked to my left and a handful of white-haired ladies on a bus from one of the assisted-living homes were laughing at me. ohhh what has my life become?

lordy, lordy. it's been awhile!

to all of the many (read, like....1) avid readers of my blog...i'm sorry! it's been a crazy/awesome few weeks! here are a few of the things i've experienced since we spoke last:

-went stand-up paddleboarding for the first time...and absolutely fell in LOVE...then did it every day for the next week.

-bought an amazing waterproof camera.

-ran into Tom Berenger (the actor) in Giuseppi's. he was totally smashed at 12 pm. like...can't-stand-up drunk.

-had a party in the emergency room. Jenn jumped off an SUP into an oyster bed and cut the junk out of her foot so we rushed her to the ER. while she was getting fixed, we were having social hour in the waiting room.

-partied on an island...think Lost. so i work with laura, whose best friend is prescott (aka carlton), whose father owns a small island off of old house creek on hilton head. we went over one night and it was like we got transported to the 1960s. insanity.

-experienced the bar scene on hilton head. again...insanity. desperate women, trashy men, cougars, tourists, locals, foreigners...everything you can imagine, all crowded into one hot, humid room filled with alcohol. it's something worth doing for sure.

-gotten no sleep. my sleeping times have ranged from 3 hours a night to 12 hours a night. the 12-hour nights usually followed a long string of 3- and 4-hour nights. bah. i'm so off my schedule.

-worked like crazy. i LOVE LOVE LOVE my job. i love the people i work with. i love our customers. i love our programs.

-saw dolphin sex. yes, you read that right.

it's been a month of firsts. a month of growing and learning and real world smashing into me at 100 miles per hour. but such a good month.

in other news, we found out today that a scam artist has been forging OHH checks totaling over $40,000. yikes. the bank's insurance has to cover it, but sheesh. it was an interesting day in the office for sure.

writer's block

salt, phones, 5 fingers, "good morning, outside hilton head," sunscreen, letters, islands, hammocks, corona light, "absolutely, when would you like to go?," cordgrass, egrets, bar-hopping, dogs, kayaks, dolphins....

i could go on and on.

these are my excuses for not blogging lately.
