Time Out

Sometimes I wish I could get sent to time out. Wouldn't that be the greatest? Time all alone in a room where no one could talk to me and I wouldn't be allowed to talk?  Not being allowed to leave until I felt ready to rejoin the group? Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get the privilege of a time out any time soon. But I do like taking time out from the rest of life when I can. 

Since we moved to Wilmington, my favorite place for a time out is the beach. (It's also my favorite place to relax, to go on date nights, to walk, to visit with friends...) We typically head to the beach on Sunday mornings, and it's such a nice break from the rest of the week.

We hadn't been since Mother's Day (yes, I know how spoiled I am), and it felt so good to finally get my beach time out last Sunday. Ree was still recovering from many late nights of rehearsals and Saturday night's performance of Sleeping Beauty (which was fantastic, not that I'm biased or anything), so she stayed home with Jeff. The three stooges and I met up with friends. And, of course, given that it was a typical lazy Sunday at the beach in Wilmington, we also ran into other friends. It was a very fun time. And a perfect time out. 

Nati thought the donut holes were pretty perfect too!
