Ya know, I look at my "interests" and I do seem a tad lame. It's just that putting down the little things in life that make me happy or that intrigue me seems silly. For instance, I like taking the Redi-Whip bottle of whipped cream and filling up my mouth with it like I did when I was a kid and my mom wasn't looking. Now really, should I be putting something like THAT in here?? :)
Okay...Sea Glass:
I live by the ocean. For years and years glass bottles have been finding their way to the ocean floor. The tide sends them tumbling against rocks, which breaks them. The constant turning of the tides softens the edges of the glass.....now you have Sea Glass. (Just a lesson in Sea Glass 101 for those who don't know what it is.)
Each summer we (friends and their kids) all scout around at the beach to see who can find the most unique piece of glass. Green and brown are the normal finds (Heinken and Bud bottles)....but lucky is the one who finds the blue, yellow and sometimes red glass. Huge pieces don't count, unless the shape is something unique. Needless to say, we all have mason jars lining our window-sills which are FILLED with the glass.
Hey...I guess it's the simple things in life that make us happy...lol. :)
