What the Junk?!

Wednesday evening

Hello again, my blog peeps.  It's been a full day for us.  We went out and played putt putt.  The hotel had a voucher for a free game with our stay, so we did that.  I took pictures and I'll share some below.  WE also went to Dollar Tree and I got a ton of puzzles. :p . We also went to three Goodwills.  We've already been to them, but we went again.  I was able to get some shoes that I wanted in one, I found an 8 pack of puzzles at another for .99!  I got two puzzles at another GW.  I also found a nice ceramic Starbucks tumbler. Yay!  

Oh, I also found a Smash journal that was brand new at one of the Goodwill stores.  We had dinner at Sonic and it was pretty good.  They gave me the wrong drink it was nasty, but the food was excellent.  I now have purchased more puzzles this trip than the earlier trip. lol

 

Wednesday morning post!

I haven't decided what I'm doing yet today.  I might walk somewhere, but it will be close by. My feet are still not happy from yesterday! :p  I DID go out and walk on the beach for a bit last night.  I don't come to the beach without my feet touching sand at least once a day! :P

We went out last night and had Dairy Queen for supper.  We rode down 17 a bit and a lot of places were closed.  In the season, most of these places are open way later.  It was weird to see so many of them closed!  We've never really come this far out of season before.  

This post is pretty boring, so have a few pictures: :p

There you go! Two I took last night and two I took this morning. ^_^

Tuesday afternoon

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I just got back from a long walk.  I walked to the Pavilion area.  We are a lot further down here than we were in June. It was a hike! lol . I got down there and walked all over the Gay Dolphin.  I found a smooshed penny machine that I've never seen before. YAY!!!!!  I got two different designs. I love them.  I also found something I looked for several years ago and could never find.  A iron on patch! That was so weird.  I looked and realized what it was and grabbed it up! lol

I got a few more small things and then went across the street to I Love Sugar.  I got a small bag of assorted goodness. lol . They have bulk candy.  I got a bit from this bin and that. It was an eclectic mix!  I left there and headed back across the street and walked down a bit to an arcade/game center.  I went in and got a Coke and then I saw the little snack bar.  I went and got some fries and went back in and ate them.  Yummy!  It was a nice break.  After that, I started back.  I stopped at a Bargain Beachwear on my way back.  After that, I stopped once to sit on a bench on the Boardwalk before leaving the Boardwalk and getitng back on Ocean Blvd to come the rest of the way home.

I got here and I was going sloooooow.  My poor feet are hurting.  I have blisters and I'm raw in several places! LOL . I came in and took a cool shower (bliss) and put on clean clothes.  I'm feeling a bit better now, but my poor feet are not happy with me! 

Here are some pictures I took while out.

 

Monday evening

We went out to eat at Victoria's and it was delicious as always.  I took a picture of my food to share. lol . I got the special.  Two pork chops, and three sides. I got mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.  It was so good!  We left there and went to North Myrtle Beach to the Goodwill.  I got a cool Starbucks stainless tumbler, two coffee mugs, a puzzle, a nice purse (not a Fossil lol), a mini Jack o lantern bag, and a ceramic Jack o' lantern.  I also got to get to go to the new Starbucks that is at North Myrtle beach!  It was nice.  I took two pictures in there, but only one took, so I'm sharing it.  I am going to rest a bit and then I think I'm going for a beach walk.  Well, I know I'm going for one tonight, I'm just not sure exactly when. :P

OH! We also went to Tuesday Morning! I got a cool sticker book, three packages of washi and a package of notebooks. :P

Hello again!

Well then, let's see.  Since I posted last night, I have had a decent night's sleep!  We ordered Hungry Howie's pizza for our dinner and ran out to pick it up.  They had a good deal of $5.55 for a large but you had to do pickup.  We did!  It was delicious and I have plenty left for today.  I only ate two slice because I was just so tired last night.

I got my walk on the beach in.  I didn't walk very far at all, but I did get out there.  It was so nice to put my feet in the ocean!  I just stood and enjoyed the sounds and smells.  It was lovely.  I came back here and pretty much got ready for bed.  I crashed before midnight! LOL!  I didn't sleep right away and I woke up a lot, but I slept until about 9:30.  I feel a lot more rested today and I'm feeling a lot better health wise.  As soon as I post this, I'm have some pizza! Whoo hoo! 

Ooh!

I had to share this one I just took a few minutes ago.  This is so gorgeous and I didn't do anything to it.  They turned the lights on at the resort we are at and this is the way the beach looked.  So pretty!  BTW I was able to get Starbucks while we were out. :D

Hello from Myrtle Beach!

We have actually been here since a bit after 1pm.  We didn't leave during the night as I had hoped.  We left about 8:25 or so.  I didn't sleep a bit.  I'm so tired right now, but weirdly, I'm not as tired as I was when we came here earlier this month when I got 45 minutes sleep. lol . I should sleep well tonight though!  At least I hope!

So, we stopped at the Goodwill in Long's.  I found a pack that had two brand new puzzles wrapped together in the plastic and they were sealed. YAY!  I also found a cute stack of brand new (sealed) Post-it Notes!  All three of these items?  $2.00!  Awesome!  So we got here and were able to immediately check in.  The room is nice. It's not as fancy as the room we had here two summer ago.  That was a two room room, but this one is nice.  There is a full kitchen, two beds, a closet, bathroom, etc.  The balcony is nice and I'm actually sitting on it to make this post!

We went out to have lunch at Sonic.  The same one we ate at the last trip and enjoyed so much.  Afterwards, we went by three pawn shops (for my friend) and three Goodwills.  I found a little cermaic shot glass type mug from Starbucks in one for .99!  I also got a cute pencil cup thingee.  I didn't need another, but it was polka dot and it was cute.  The little cup from Starbucks is mint.  It's so cute.  I am happy to add it to my collection!  This was at the Goodwill that I had seen some S'bux things on our earlier short visit.  They didn't have those anymore, sadly, but this more than made up for it as they were both damaged and this was nice!

We went to the Goodwill where I usually find great puzzles to find none! Well, they did have some, but they were all opened and I am a bit wary about them now.  I will still probably buy some like that, but to start off, I skipped them.  I am sure we'll go back to that one GW and if we do, I'll chance it.

At that Goodwill, I was going to the line with my friend and I spotted... you guessed it... a Fossil purse!  It's a bit worn around the straps and it needs some TLC, but it was too cute to pass up.  I'll pot pictures of the bag, the cup and other stuff later.  For now, I want to share some pictures I took.  We found this cool bridge and went over it and i took pictures.  I also took pictures of the beach. Enjoy!

I'm so accomplised!

LOL!  Yes, I'm still sick but I don't feel as bad as I did yesterday.  I went to bed really early last night and slept pretty well. I even took a long nap this afternoon. I'm trying to sleep away the sickness.  Even with all that, I got a lot done!

I have my clothes all washed and ready to pack.  I had to wash some of them and the rest that are going are ready.  I got all my other stuff ready to pack.  I like to try to put everything in at the same time so I don't forget something.  This time I will try not to pack the shorts I am wearing down there. lol

I also got a stack of letters done and mailed. WHEE!  I was so happy to get that done.  i wanted to get them done before the trip and I did.  It was too late to run to the post office, so I just dropped them off at a box.  I'll check my box when I get back and go from there.  It was nice to get them all done and this way, when I get back, I'll have something interesting to share!

After I finish this post, I'm going to pack my clothes and the majority of my electronics.  My friend has pretty much decided to not go around 3am and just wait until the morning. Boo on that, I say, but if that is what he wants, that is what we'll do.  I think it would be more fun to go at night and to miss all the traffic!  Plus we'd get there quicker. :P

I will, of course, be posting daily from the beach.  Hopefully a couple times a day.  I will share pictures too!  We are staying a bit further down than we did in June so it will be a bit longer walk to the pavilion area, but I still plan to go.  I want to go to the oceanfront Starbucks! :)

 

Low-fat loft?

What am I talking about? Well, I'll tell you.  I couldn't sleep last night and I was working over the story for my NaNo book in November.  I got up and got out the iPad as my phone was off and charging.  I got one of my little wireless keyboards and was typing the things I had thought of into Evernote.  The only thing is, the screen is small and I could't see the words.  I go back to edit after I type everything in and noticed that my character was going to spend the night in the 'low-fat' instead of the loft! LOL!  It cracked me up so I put low-fat in parenthesis because I figured I would forget by today. I have a good idea of how the story is going to go and the notes I wrote last night will help.  

I didn't start a puzzle today.  Why? Well, for one thing, I'm coming down with a damn cold! I'm so pissed.  Why do I have to deal with this right before a beach trip?  So frustrating!  I went out and bought some store brand Dayquil, so hopefully I'll feel better by Sunday!  I am going to try to sleep tonight and I plan to take a nap tomorrow if  we are going to leave for the beach in the early, early am! 

How I'm using Evernote today:  See above! :P

Cooler weather ....

Well, for a bit anyway. I know it will be back up to 90 in a day or two. lol . I took advantage of the cooler weather today and finally put up my Halloween stuff.  It usually goes up on September 1st, but that was the day I went to the beach and came home from the beach. lol

It's been way too hot here.  It felt like July last week!  It was a bit cooler today, so I figured I'd get my Halloween stuff out.  I realized when I was done that I was missing one thing.  That lead me to remember another two things and then one more.  That means there is a box o' Halloween still missing. I have no clue where to look for it as I always keep all the boxes together and it's not with the others. :(

Aha! I just found two of the four items.  That means only two things are unaccounted for and I'm sure I'll find those. I sort of remember that I didn't pack them up with the rest of the stuff last year and did something else with them. I just have to remember what it was I did with them. LOL 

The main thing I missed first was broken last year and I put in a box to keep it safe. I don't know why I didn't fix it then, but I've glued it together now and I have it sitting until the glue sets. Hopefully that will fix it. :) It has a matching friend and I didn't want to separate them.

I didn't start a puzzle today.  I planned to.  I got out the board, the puzzle, and had it ready to go, but I never got around to it.  Maybe tomorrow.  I might just wait until I get back.  Then I'll have more than enough puzzles. :p
