Like Powder

I love the beach! Well I love to sunbathe at the beach but I’m not really a beach type of girl. There’s something about sitting out in the sun at the beach, sweating, hot, thirsty, and then cooling off in the cool refreshing salty water. I recently visited my home town, Dominican Republic and we drove up to Bavaro-Punta Cana. I must say that every time I go there I feel like I’m in Paradise!!! I mean the people are friendly, you can get anything you want and the softest sand in the world is located at the beaches in the Bavaro-Punta Cana area. It feels like baby powder….no joke! I’ve been to many different beaches in my country, in the Caribbean and in the states but nothing compares to the sand in Bavaro.
You know what? There’s something about the Caribbean sun too. When you sunbathe in the Caribbean you get the perfect tan ever. I mean seriously even with SPF 50 + you still get that glow. I don’t know if it’s something in the ocean (maybe it’s saltier……is that possible?) or if it’s something in the air but you better watch out for the Caribbean sun.

Don't be dogged......

As sad as it sounds not only do we have to keep an eye for cheating spouses, but also for cheating pets! Come again? You heard it,......pets will apparently leave their owner in search for a better life. Just when you thought it was going to get easier we find out about this. The sad part is we don't speak "dog"; so how will we ever get to explain ourselves or hear "their" side of the story? Your spouse cheats you can always talk and try to fix whatever caused the spouse to stray. Try getting your message across to a dog,....."woof, woof, wwwwooooooff,.....grrrrrr".....you think I made my point?

It's raining dollars......

I think that almost everyone can agree that everyone is going through money issues. I mean foreclosures have skyrocketed and real estate has decreased. I just can't understand how some people are losing their homes, facing eviction, can't pay their light or phone bills and yet somehow have money to spend on the latest gadgets. I mean let's be serious. My son isn't old enough to "want" the latest toys or video games. I've seen parents that are so behind on their bills yet their child has a wii. Yeah a wii, and a Nintendo DS, etc. Where are they finding money to buy those things and yet not use it to pay for their necessities.? That sad thing is the effect these folks are causing among other children. "So and so has the latest games so I want one too",.....I don't blame those kids they need to "fit in" with their peers. Where is it raining dollars because I'd sure like to put away the umbrella and get soaked!

My animal Instincts....

As I opened my web browser I see some MSN news about an owner punching a shark to save his dog. This is quite interesting to me because I have a four-legged best friend as well. I try to imagine myself in the beach, a beautiful day, the sun is out, with just the right amount of wind to keep you from burning up. The dog running around exploring the sand and trying not to get touched by the water as the small waves make their way up the shore and then out of nowhere I see my little dog be attacked by a shark,.....what do I do?

I set the same situation to my husband and his first reaction is "He's just a dog!".....then I said what? Just a dog? He was our first "baby" before our son was born,......can you listen to him, he's barking and whining and asking for us to save him from the beast, his poor little limbs trapped between the jaws of a beast,....then he looked at me with all the sadness in his eyes and said "You're right! I'd try to save him." I don't know how one would act in such a situation because it doesn't matter how many times I redo the scenario in my head and figure out what I would do and act if something like that would happen,.....it all comes down to your animal instincts........we all have it and when you really care for something or are attached to something you don't think you just act without considering the consequences.

well I'm off to the beach,......but to be on the safe side the dog stays!
