Survived my birthday away from home this year.  It is weird being surrounded by everything and everyone new.  Overall it was a pretty good day but a little tough too.  I am ready for our travelers to start showing up so I will be too busy to think about home.  Today was a little rough.  Laying out on the beach yesterday I attempted to get rid of my tan lines on my shoulders and across my chest.  Not such a good idea.  I am kinda lobstery and anything I wear hurts so bad.  I just keep thinking that soon the pain will be gone and the tan will stay.  I have gotten a lot of sun and am loving the nice glow.  Me and Laura are still working onn staying on our fitness plan and try to pull inspiration everywhere we can.  Tonight it was watching the makeover show.  That guy lost 100lbs in 3 months!  It makes what we are striving for a blah...lol.  But we are still going strong.  The hardest part is going to be the food.  Getting the excersizing in is easy.  I am up and moving so much more than when I left Texas and it feels pretty good. 

But back to the day...we went shopping in Ocean City today.  They had some cute liitle shops and I enjoyed walking on the boardwalk.  We even got to see a beach wedding.  It was so cute.  We arrived just in time to see the wedding party come in and the bride.  It was beautiful and I can't wait until the day I get to get married barefoot on the beach :)  After the shopping we stopped at a restaurant that overlooked the boardwalk we normally walk in the evenings.  I was not overly impressed with their food and am really suprized at how little I have wanted to drink lately.  It is just not appealing to me when I think about it.  I don't really feel like going to the clubs here and dealing with the crowds.  I would much rather take my book and sit on the beach.  I think that is where I will be spending my days off once the travelers start arriving.  We have 2 more staff that come in tomorrow evening.  They are both from England, I think.  It will be kind of nice to have more hands in on the cleaning but Laura and I have been getting along so well and have such a great system going working together.  I'm sure it will be fine and they will just mesh right in.  I am more worried about the last 2 staff that come in like the days the travelers do.  They will have no time to bond with us or get adjusted.  But they have both been here before so it will be alright.  I am not sure waht all adventure tomorrow holds for me but I am sure it will involved some more cleaning and definately our 3 mile walk.  I even started a count down for when I go back home (sad huh?)  I am trying to take everything in and remember, I probably will never get a chance to do anything like this again.  But some days are a little rough.  Come on busy craziness!!!
