06/12/2002 Entry: "Padre vacation!" I'm back. It was frigging hot here in Dallas today. I hate this damn weather. A few notes from the beach trip we took with Zack's mom, Sue, and his sister, Kristina (written in past and present tense. sorry.):
--------------------- We stopped at HEB to get groceries before we arrived at the condo. Sue (Zack's mom) and I were checking out the fruit. She found some yummy canteloupe on sale and handed me two of them to put in the cart, but Zack had taken the cart to another aisle to get onions or something. I walked around the corner while clutching the fruit to my chest. Zack got a wicked look on his face and said "Nice melons." I replied "Thanks. They're your mother's." Our condo is on the ground floor facing the water. The entire seaside wall is made of glass. We can open the sliding door, walk over a few feet of grass, cross a sidewalk, climb 10 steps down the seawall, and we're on the beach. Here's a picture I took of my reflection in the door of our condo at the Mirror Project: http://www.mirrorproject.com/mirror/?id=7112 We went swimming not long after we got to the condo. I was doing pretty good with the bodyboard, but then I got grazed by a jellyfish on my elbow. Ouch. I hung it up not long after that. Z made enchiladas for dinner. We watched The Neverending Story on tv. His mom and sister find it disturbing and think it shouldn't be shown to children. I recalled that my mother let me rent any horror movie I wanted as a child (my favourites featured zombies), so The Neverending Story was nothing but pure fun. His mom wonders that I turned out so (seemingly) normal. I do, too. Thursday, June 6th-- Woke up at 7 a.m. Z got up at 7:30. We tried to go for a morning walk on the beach, but Z was distracted by tiny shrimp that were washing up on shore. He thought they were brine shrimp. Sea monkeys? Biggest damn sea monkeys I'd ever seen. I was unimpressed. Z wanted desperately to dig through the kelp that had washed ashore overnight and look for more sea creatures. We walked maybe a half mile before I turned us around for breakfast. Later -- Breakfast and then frolic in the water all day. I lost track of time while bodysurfing and got sunburned. Damn me. Two days of vacation to go and I'm not allowed in the sun anymore. %#$&!!! Friday, June 7th-- I'm sitting on the couch, in the air conditioning, watching Zack and Kris bodysurf. They're both half Mexican and browning nicely. Z has stopped protesting the sunscreen I slather on him every hour. I'm not too badly burned, but unwilling to press my luck. Stupid fair skin. Blah. Later -- As the sun was setting I donned a long-sleeved shirt and my huge hat and went out to take some pictures. Check out my seagull:
 I got a bunch of great pictures of Kris & Zack bodyboarding. I'll put them up later. Saturday, June 8th-- We ate dinner last night at our favourite Padre restaurant, The Crazy Cajun. Their most popular dish is a mixture of shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, corn on the cob, sausage, and baby potatoes. Instead of serving it on plates they bring it to you in a large bowl and dump it in the middle of the table. Then they give you little wooden mallets and you eat with your hands. Woo!
This morning Z, Kris, and Sue went swimming all morning. I watched MTV Cribs and played on my laptop and watched them. This afternoon we pack, zip by the sand sculptures, and hit the road for Austin. I'm planning on napping all the way home. Anyhoo, I'm home. I'm peeling. I'm trying to line up some driving jobs. I'm watching Buffy reruns. I'm excited because Our Lady Peace and Ash are going to do a show together next month. I'm going to have a martini. Mwah!
