You know you've been on SoWal a long time when...

...you're trying out a new restaurant on 30-A and you make a mental note to remember what you ate, if the service was good, and what the price was, because you plan on posting it on the restaurant sticky!

you sat here wondering where Mermaid has been all day!

I was wondering the same about you SS! I just assumed all you ladies are getting ready for your company and your big meal preparations!! I'm feeling very lucky that all I have to cook is a broccoli cheese casserole!

... and you ask for a menu. That's what I do because after a good meal and a few glasses of wine, I'm brain-dead.

Unfortunately, I spent the best part of the day with MS getting his expired passport renewed! Ant then PawPaw came!
I made the Three Day Salad yesterday and if I play my cards right, after I make cornbread and wild rice for the DRESSING tonight, I can just be the apprentice for the rest of the makings! HMM and PawPaw both like to cook and I like to watch and eat. The kids and I always clean up because we are so thankful for the good food they made!

Just so you know, I drove ALL BY MYSELF to Evansville, which is a good 3 1/2 hours from Indianapolis. I picked up my dear sweet boy from school (it's amazing how dear and sweet they become when you send them off to college for a few months ).

This was quite an accomplishment for me because no one in the world ever lets me drive because I have no sense of direction and am, in generous terms, a kind of lousy driver. :funn: I got lost in Evansville and turned the air blue with my extreme curses and foul language but eventually I got to USI, collected the kid and came home. We talked the whole way back! Amazing! I told him all about SoWal and how the beach is really part of his life now. There was a lot to be Thankful for this afternoon.

Well, a good day was had by you! Glad he is home! I have enjoyed MS. He still tries real hard not to laugh at me, but I catch him in profile with his cute facecheeks rising!

...you see a hurricane coming and you ask SJ to run by your place to see if it's okay

...you get fired from your job and you're happy about it

...you see a person's screen name and you know their real name, too

...your spouse/SO knows who you're talking about when you refer to gttbm or LL or RO

...you know more about what's going on in a SoWaller's family than you do your own

...you're late for your work-out because you're responding to a post

...you've stopped watching TV or reading books because SoWal is your best source of information

...you have a mental image of the regulars even if you actually have no idea what they look like

...you check SoWal.com even when you're in SoWal

...dinner is late, the kids are starving, the house looks like a bomb hit it, and your spouse walks in and says "what did you do today" even though s/he knows the answer...

Any more?
