If you don't like pictures of the beach, you might want to stop reading my blog now.... -just sayin'

The beach has always been very humbling to me.  The feeling I get when I stand there with my toes in the sand and that vastness laid out before me is undescribeable.  It really centers me, calms my mind, soothes my emotions, and reminds me that life is so big, so wonderful, and to never take it for granted.

We managed to not be working the other night at low tide.  I couldn't capture the anenomes like I had hoped, but here are some shots of the tide pools we stumbled upon.

We even saw a seal come up on the beach!  It was really neat to watch it.  Even though there are lots of signs posted to give the wildlife their distance, people still get stupidly close to snap pics.  And then some dumb chic was letting her dog run off leash and wasn't paying attention and her little weiner dog ran right up and spazzed out on that poor seal.  It was barking and circling the seal and the dumb chic was chasing her dog around the seal.  All the while the seal is snapping and lunging at her and the dog.  Dumb people.  Even the people in the oceanfront hotels were drawn out to their balconies by all the commotion and started yelling at her to get control of her dog.  It was sickening.  I felt so bad for the seal.

We are both back to work at the casino.  Luckily, we are on the same shift even though it is graveyard (8pm-4am).  The first night back was a little nerve-racking but dealing cards is like riding a bike.... you forget some of the finer points, but you never really forget.  Skott got full-time at the casino and I am part time.  I am also doing a temporary job for a retail store that is moving/opening a new location.  The dogs have adjusted pretty well.  Life is very busy right now, but I couldn't be happier
