On In-Laws and Such

Thank you all for the suggestions of ways to keep calm while vacationing with my mother-in-law. So far, the trip has been very smooth.

I loaded up my Kindle with a few books and packed several gallon Ziploc bags to protect it from the sand/humidity.

As a side note, there is a waterproof Kindle cover that would allow me to jump waves while I read, but:

1. I don't read while I'm in the ocean
2. I have no balance & that would totally jack me up when the waves came
3. I'd be so off balance I'd probably end up losing my bathing suit completely
   

The downfall to the Kindle cover (according to the reviews I've read) is that it locks into place, so when it goes to sleep, you have to take it completely out of the cover to "wake it up". Which kind of defeats the purpose of the cover.

So, instead of the cover, I double my Kindle in 2 Ziploc bags and it is safe & sound!

Long side note, no?

So, I've been going for my run/walk in the mornings to get time away, I've been reading on the beach and Mr. Potts has been good about being my buffer.

Last night we traveled about an hour north of Wrightsville to Jacksonville, NC to see some of my best friends and hang out for the night.



So far, so good.

Except for the text message about a girl being bitten by a shark today at the same beach.

Good thing I don't go out very far.

Happy Monday y'all - I'll be back on Thursday with a better recap.
