14 Days.
That’s two weeks.
Two weeks before I get the hell out of the district and go on the one vacation I look forward to every year. The OBX.
If you haven’t heard me talk about it before, it’s the annual tradition I’ve grown to love. A great bunch of friends and I pack our things and rent a house on Hatteras Island. I then spend a week relaxing, tanning, swimming, and just having a great time.
Every year I take some home video and I attempt to make cool videos afterwards. This is the teaser for, “The OBX Season 2″ (My 2008 trip.)
This year I’ll be doing more of the same but I am already thinking of ways to make it more interesting and better than ever before.
I also got some ideas of things I want to accomplish while I’m down there, sure I’m on vacation but I can still have some goals to accomplish with that free time:
- I have a stack of magazines I’ve been waiting to tackle, laying on the beach is a perfect way to do that.
- Three books I want to read while on the beach: Stage Management by Thomas Kelly, How to Work a Room by Susan RoAne, and I just thought the other day that I should add Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success by my favorite cougar career blogger, Penelope Trunk.
- Last year I made a piss poor attempt to learn to make Mojitos. This year I’m going to learn. What other drinks should I learn to make?
Writing this post makes me wish I was on the beach already!

So lucky! I have 71 days until my “beach week”. Only this is with my family. It’s awesome. We get a house on the beach in South Nags Head. Easy access to waves, sand, bathroom and beverages
Hope the next 14 days go quickly for you!

We made some pretty lame mojitos last week. We had freshly picked mint and still failed.

Hey Patrick..
Maybe I should write a new chapter… How To Work a Beach! Thanks so much for the nice mention of my book.
Best, Susan

f.B: I bought fresh mint the night before I went to the beach and I tossed it into the cooler… and the ice melted and the mint was completely soaked.
Mojito fail.
MeggiePoo: I actually want to have a productive two weeks so let’s hope I get lots done before the beach!
