Thursday....Orange Beach

How many times have we looked at the forecast???  And it seemed to get worse.  That big, huge red blob with the flood watch was actually west of us and we didn't get much really bad weather/rain.  Around 2-4 this am., it came thru here with lightening and thunder (some of the ladies said), but it's not been heavy or severe.  Just misty ...wind is still blowing but not quite as bad.

Plans for sleeping in were destroyed around 6:35 a.m.  Those who were making the noise know who they are and shall remain nameless, but Sue and I just looked at each other, then the clock and groaned.  She went out to tell them off and never came back so I got up too. 

Breakfast around 8:30 was bacon/eggs/toast/coffee/orange juice/milk.  Leisurely....cause we said (most of us said) we were going to lay around today and not do anything.  We discussed what to have for lunch.

Sue and I went down to the gym and had a workout....mine was shorter than hers, but it felt good anyway.  Wanda went for a walk; Sharon and Charlotte tried to walk on the beach but the rain/mist brought them back inside....Helen and Norma talked and  read.  Nice. 

We visited a bit and the skies began to get clearer and clearer so during lunch (sandwiches, avocado dip, and Santistas), we discussed what and where to have  dinner and did we have time to shop a bit before dinner.  The decision was YES, so we began the migration to the bedrooms to dress. 

While waiting on Sharon and Charlotte, the topic of discussion was bras and boobs....where to find them and how much to pay for them....either one.  Then Sue made appointments for her and Norma for pedis on Tuesday. 

Here we are all gussied up to go shopping: 

We all piled (literally!!) into my car and then we hit the shoppes....



we all bought a little bit...blingy tees and such. Such as: 

 

Around 4:30, we went to Cobalts for dinner...Sue had fried oysters; Norma had fried shrimp; Wanda had a Mahi Mahi Sandwich and the rest of us had a shrimp/pasta dish that was HOT.  I asked for a milder hot and I think Helen got it...so we swapped.  Spicy, spicy, spicy.  But good.

Hit WM again for some more food (the important stuff....strawberries for strawberry pie; another brownie mix...OK...now just remember there are 7 of us so that's only about 1 nice piece each.  So we are not OVER indulging, just indulging.   LOL

Sitting on the balcony now with the surf pounding watching the people on the beach....ALMOST a sunset, but not fully....we'll take it.  It's very nice out. 

Tonight is almost over....and we'll sit and visit some more and shop some more and finally the sun will come out and we'll hit the beach!!

Until tomorrow.
