listening
to Love Story which is pretty much all about us running away to Cape Cod last year... it's been 4 hours since i left the Cape behind and i miss it so very very much (it's magical, pink, beautiful, calm, shining and completely dreamlike.... but there's STILL no Bertucci's or Target, because even paradise has to have flaws that maybe won't seem so overwhelmingly dealbreaking someday when i don't have teeth to eat pizza or an urgent daily "need" for something pointless like Essie nail polish or light-up tweezers)
feeling
peely and sunburnt and scaly (it's not a good feeling, trust me, but oh how i miss the beach....)
obsessing
about going to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. but there's a 2 month wait????? i have no clue why but now i reaaaaaally want to see what all the fuss is about... stupid dumb PBS documentary that i watched last night on sleepy Cape Cod about the making of the Statue of Liberty....
also: i've been to that crown like 30 years ago but being a Mum means doing everything again with the kids and going on for hours about how it used to be in the good old Clinton days before GW and Osama Bin Laden came along and it all went to hell :)
pondering
if there are even enough Australian rock bands to start an Australian sirius music channel (which was last night's dream) i can only think of INXS, Men at Work (who only really had one song of note;), Crowded House (i think??!) Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue, if they even count??? hmmmmm....
needing
a trip home*... i found a perfectish sounding flight. except the Amsterdam part, i need to fix that detail
* home is England, not California :)
loving
Taylor Swift - this video makes me adore her just a little bit more (which isn't really possible because she's sweet)
favorite Cape store (always and forever)
meet Jaws (felt teeth)
scaling sand dunes
our hotel was a complete dump and an absolute fortune- but on the beach ;)
the perk of staying in a dumpy hotel - empty stretch of beach :)
the water was soooo warm - even i got in :)
our oceanfront dumpy room - Sam was quick to compliment the lack of cockroaches and bed bugs
(oh trips across America staying in dumpy motels... you've made him look for the silver lining!!)
the dunes at dusk = heaven
the drive home - i may have been too generous in the gift stores ;)
