Toy House on Beach, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica October 2019
Just about a month ago, I shared a little post where I mentioned my need to be more specific when I put a request out to the universe. Apparently, I am still wide of the mark. The ocean gifted me this toy house this week.
A house on the beach would fit me perfectly, even if it was a purple one. Though obviously, I need to include more parameters: like large enough for me to actually live in, for starters. But what a great view, yeah?
Mini Maid, Port Aransas, Texas September 2019
The ocean is teaching me a very important lesson about the nature of wishes. Apparently, I need to be much more clear about them. Years ago it would have been nice to have had the assistance of a maid, one is not necessary now that I’ve downsized so dramatically. Next time, I’ll not only clearly state that the maid be human but I’ll outline my desired timeframe as well. Lesson learned!
While helping a friend move into her new house I found this pin at the bottom of one of her boxes. Good for a laugh during a tedious process. Oh, how I love the snark!
Spotted on the bathroom doors at the Beer Hut in Port Aransas, Texas. Pretty creative!
I love this t-shirt! It reminds me of a line from the conniving and arrogant Prince Humperdinck in my all-time favorite movie, The Princess Bride, “Unless I’m wrong, and I am never wrong…”*
The best part? The t-shirt was only 99 cents! Squeee!
*Note: To clarify, I know I am not always right and I am capable of admitting it (usually).

Any Pac-12 basketball fan will agree with that first sentence. Though Bill Walton has some serious chops as a basketball player (and I share his love for the Grateful Dead), his rambling tangents during the games he’s announcing for ESPN are enough to drive anyone mad. To the point that I prefer to listen to my University of Arizona Wildcats radio announcers while watching the game with the TV muted.
So color me intrigued when I ran across this review of James Kirkland’s new book, “The Bill Walton Mysteries, Friend of the Devil” in the Willamette Week. The book got a pretty darn good review so I’ve added it to my reading list. Sounds like a great book for a day at the beach!

Sign on Mechanic’s Truck, Port Aransas, Texas June 2019
Read the sign on the far right. Even if the driver had trouble conceptualizing the “vague” idea of 50 feet, there are helpful bollards nearby. Considering that the white gate between the two bollards is no more than ten feet, it’s pretty obvious that someone has a measuring problem (or, far more likely down here, someone just doesn’t give a sh*t).
