Routine

I love being at the beach because I don't have a routine. There is no getting up at 7:30 or 8 to go to work, to come home and work on the house, to eat dinner, to watch Ugly Betty and then go to sleep. I get to decide moment to moment what I want to do...it is strange. I am almost over this though and it has only been a few days. We go back to life in atl soon and I think tomorrow is a transitional day. We have a full day of living the privledged life - a tee time at 7:30, spa at 3 and an evening out with a special dinner. I thought at the beginning of the week that creating a routine on the island would be annoying. I am not sure though. If I had resources to live like that I don't know if it would be so bad.

Vacation has been great. Just to relax and really let go. It is a dance. Having a routine and plans, then letting it all go.

So now I am beginning to think how can Mrs. FL and I live like this when we are 50-60? How can we take our children on vacation? It seems to be the life question of your 30's - what do I need to now for later. What kind of job do I need? How much money to do I need to make? what about kids?

Okay...killing the vacation buzz. We watched The Weatherman (the movie) last night and it was a major downer. Need to go watch Wall*e or something tonight. love that cute little robot. Oh and want to watch Mama Mia.

Speaking of weathermen - little known island fact - Willard Scott lives on Captiva Island.
