it's been real, really real.

i've had some days off believe it or not, i'm on day off number 2 out of 2. my first partial day off i got out at 8am, booked it to saco in high hopes that demetri was awake, or could hear his phone. neither happened. i waited around till about 10ish, knocked on his papou's door and went up 3 floors to find him snoozing still. i crawled into his sisters bed with him to catch a few more minutes of shut eye before heading to wells to spend the day.
once in wells i got dressed and we once again headed out, with a newly found frisbie in our possession. made a stop at the mall to drop off my id, and then down town to discover that harpoon willy's no longer made fried pickles, also to discover that it was far too hot to do much of anything! we spent the rest of the day inside trying to escape the heat.
once the sun and temperature went down we went to ogunquit beach to relax, polish off the skyy and toss the good ol' frisbie. finally dragged ass till we made it home saftely into our bed.
yesterday i did a little self-maintanance to what i was calling my eyebrows. i finally feel human again! i ran home, snagged my little boy and headed to portland. we went to the mall with no intention of shopping (per usual). however, we did grab an array of foods; one chicken burrito, a cheese wrap, cinnamon twist, cheese pizza, garlic bread, and a large sprite. we demolished just about all our purchases and headed off on what turned into an adventure.
we couldn't find bed bath and beyond for the life of us! turns out its right where we should have looked in the first place, next to old navy-duh. we went and grabbed julie and paul's wedding gifts and started on the trip (on route one) back to saco to again escape the heat. stopped off at 35 school, ate a little something and watched some tv. eventually when the tv lacked the stimulation we wanted we headed to ferry beach. one of my newly found favorite spots.
the location, lack of people (at that time) and temperature of the water was so amazing and relaxing. wishing i had my bathing suit i rolled up my pant legs and got as wet as i could. we continued playing frisbie until demetri was tired of chasing my stray throws. all i can say is i never did well in extreme frisbie class in jr. high.
deciding to come back after dark and check in with ethan on a few things we headed to OOB where it was crowded per usual. we spent a very short time walking in stores and then went home to saco to watch some NCIS!
realizing it was thursday and OOB was to have its weekly fireworks we decided we'd go back and enjoy some fireworks in the square. these fireworks were beautiful! great colors and some types i had never seen before! when the fireworks were through and we waved our goodbyes to the cute little french girl sitting next to us, we slowly made our way back to ferry beach for our late night swim.
when we got to the beach and stripped down to our under garments we realized it was far to cold re-dressed and layed on our blanket looking at the gray-black sky.

that brings us to now, after getting another great night sleep next to my handsome boyfriend i woke up at almost 6 not to fall back asleep. came out to the living room and talked to my future brother-in-law for a while.
today is so exciting! my long time friend and her even longer-time sweetheart are getting married. something that all my girls and i have waited desperately for. it's going to be a reuinion of the greatest kind! my best friends of probably all time, all together in ogunquit dressed up and having a blast! nothing more i could ask for.
