Day Off.

Finally. Well, I guess he did take Saturday off but before that it had been a really long time. And then Sunday he only worked until 1 am and then until 5am on Monday. Anyway, we took Wednesday off, and we freakin' earned it.

We didn't get to sleep in because we really needed to get down to the DMV and finally get the title transferred on that old mustang of ours. My dad is trying to sell it for us, and it kind of needs to be legal in order to sell it. Don't blame us, the girl who sold it to us didn't know what she was doing and signed the wrong place on the title. Then we couldn't find her. Then the DMV of PA told us that we'd have to find her or buy a new title (which is REALLY expensive). I told Josh I had a feeling the people at PennDot were just lazy, and that the Delaware DMV would probably be able to figure it out. It's nice to be right. They fixed us up and made the car legally ours AND we got Josh a brand new DE license all for under $100. Sweet.

As stupid as it might sound, it really felt awesome to get that particular crap slinging monkey off our backs. We'd been trying to get the title work done on that car for almost two years. Sigh. We stopped by my dad's work (where the car has been sitting for the past three months) to drop off the new registration. It was a nice day, and dad had put the top down to show it off. Maaaaan...we wanted that car back. It really isn't practical. There's' no way a baby seat could fit in there, and we'd probably never get to ride with the top down (which is the BEST part of that car) plus, it's a money monster. We sure are going to miss it. At least until we get the check, then we'll just pay off more bills and smile. Hah.

After that I was really itching to go to the beach. Like I said in the previous post, it's been in the 60's and sunny and all I want to do is be outside. Of course, I could walk out into our back yard, but we don't have a porch and the dogs have basically made it into a big sand pit. I don't mind getting dirty, but there's no where to sit. I love porches, our next house will definitely have a back porch. Anyway, we had to stop at home to make sure that Michael (from the Lax show) got some big file Josh was trying to send him. We waited an hour and the stupid thing froze, so Josh called the guy, told him he was trying something else and that the show should get to him in an hour, but that we were leaving anyway. I was so proud. We were both a little nervous because the station who runs the show still hadn't contacted Michael about their feelings on the most recent one. ( Ya know, the looming black cloud that had kept my husband awake for 48 hours). On our way to the beach, we get a text from Michael. The station loved it. That just made the drive to freedom even sweeter.

Riley is going to be coming soon. Even sooner that originally expected because he's huge. I'm supposed to have about 4 more weeks left, but at my appointment this week they said they won't make me go that long. If I did, he'd come out around 10 lbs, and since I'd like to have more children in the future, I'd prefer my first one weren't that scarey. So on the way to the beach, Josh and I were trying to plan our final date before the baby comes. I can't sit through a movie in the theater anymore, which is a shame because there's some really good ones out there. So we decided we'd go down to the boardwalk one night and have Grotto's Pizza and then do some shopping. There's' nothing more "spring in Sussex County" than that.

The beach was great. It's always a little colder there than inshore, but it was beautiful nonetheless. We bought some four dollar beach fries and sat on the sidewalk. If you've never been to Rehoboth, there are a few things you MUST do. You must have Thrasher's fries, Grotto pizza, and Ice Cream Store ice cream. You can gain 10lbs in a week in Rehoboth, especially if you like to hit the bars. We also have a lot of really cool sea food places, if you're into crabs and whatever. This place is awesome. Even better than Virginia beach, in my opinion but of course in Virginia, I can actually be on vacation. Around here it's just...home. Which is cool in it's own way. Anyway, Josh threw some fries out to the birds, which is a horrible idea. Then we laughed and shared stories about being a little kid at the beach. At some point in every beach kid's life, they will have a sandwich stolen from them by a seagull. It is both horrifying and hilarious, but it happens to everyone. In one of the shops, we found the perfect bathing suit for Riley. Josh and I were worried because it seems like people just put their little infant boys in speedo's and neither one of us thought that would be a good way for him to start off life. Thank God they actually make little board shorts for babies. Hah, they even have little rash guards.

When it was time to leave, our hair was messy and sticky from the salty air and we were very satisfied with our waste of time. Nothing beats going down to the boards pre-season when it's just you and the locals and parking is still free. We'll probably spend most of our time at Lewes beach or the state park this summer, because of Riley, but maybe some generous people will help us to a few nights on our own in Rehoboth. ;)

You know it's almost Easter? I'd kind of forgotten. Josh is a big fan of all the major candy holidays such as Easter and Valentines day. I'll have to go shopping for him soon. I don't get to have any candy this year, because of the diabetes, so maybe I'll just get something else instead. I'll miss the peeps. I LOVE peeps.

For now I've probably bored you enough, plus I need to take care of my very dusty dogs. Josh is working again today, and I miss him even though he's just in the other room.

Nothing beats a day off.
