Today I enjoyed the beach despite the 100 degree weather. I played with my niece and nephews in the sand. I got maternity pants at an outlet store. All in all it was a good day.
But how boring is that?
Never fear. When all goes well, the drama begins.
This afternoon I was enjoying a good book on the beach. I had hijacked a tent of my cousin-in-law's and relaxed in the shade for a while.
Suddenly, the wind started.
Did I mention that this was a full tent? It's one of those four-sided deals with see-through panels that they make for a fairly large number of people to provide shade and bug protection. The photo at the top left is the catalog picture for this thing. Did I mention I was out at the beach by myself?
I'm sure you can guess what happened. The tent collapsed right on top of me. As I desperately worked my way out of the tent, I saw that there was no way to fix it. The poles and panels were tangled in a way that would take an army of people to resolve. If the strangers around me noticed, they certainly made a point not to look my way.
So I did what any good tent hijacker would do. I put one of their chairs on top of the tent so it would not blow away and fled.

You cracked me up...I could actually picture you looking all around for witnesses and then fleeing before you got caught!! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.
