It is a great motivation. They do say that sitting is the next smoking so I try to keep from sitting hours on end during the day. Yes, I really do think so. There is only one way to put my theory to the test and that is doing it. When is your next day off?

Oh gosh they do? Then thank goodness I have the job that I do. But still its nice to have that extra push to try to find a way to move during the day. Well I can’t say no to something so fun with such good company. I have some afternoon and evenings off and then all of Saturday!

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: How many have you tried?

Laura: If you do,. let me know

Jackie: Like at least more than ten! Some work but I still feel like there is a better one out there.

Jackie: I have and let me tell you how great it is to relax with the nice evening breeze. Oh my god its amazing!

[jackiestjames]

stevenxstephens​:

That’s lovely. It must be nice to have a job that keeps you active. I’m not that lucky. But I make up for it by spending a lot of my down time in my gym or taking walks and, like I mentioned before, surfing. I have a feeling you would be a natural on a board. Surfing is all about keeping your balance, and since you are a dancer, I think that will help. If you ever want to give it a try I have a board you can borrow. 

That is good though! I think it’s amazing that you can work all day then do that after. That is such great motivation. But it is pretty easy when it’s a routine I’m sure. You really think so? Well that seems like motivation enough to finally give it a try. When you put it like that it would seem silly not to, maybe my balance would end up saving me. Really? That would be wonderful. I would be endlessly grateful if you’d show me the ropes.

Laura: How many have you tried?

Laura: If you do,. let me know

Jackie: Oh more than ten! I have found some that work but somehow I still manage to find ways to get burnt.

Jackie: If you ever need some company when you're sitting out there please let me know. Sounds like it would be so fun with company.

stevenxstephens​:

I just realized I do not recall what it is you teach. I want to say… dance? Trying to get outside for lunch and work is a good way to start, being cooped up inside can’t be healthy for anybody.  Wait, seriously? You live near the coast and you have never tried surfing? How about sailing? 

You are actually right! I teach at the local dance studio. I’m lucky that I have a pretty active job, so I’m always moving. But getting fresh air? That makes it so much better. Yes, yes I know! My places is even right on the beach and I haven’t. But sailing I have yes! I’ve always been intimidated by it but I still would love to try it!

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: So like I actually got you some, I',m gonna drop it off to you soon! I'm not the best, I just care about my friends!

Laura: Yess. I play music when I'm out there and it's really relaxing.

Jackie: Still, it is so thoughtful of you though! I'm just happy to try another kind. Any way to keep myself from burning up.

Jackie: You are giving me so many ideas! I might end up trying this at night too.

stevenxstephens​:

It truly is the worst. It was a big disappointment seeing the week wasn’t even halfway through. Is there a way to work outside for you? I’d recommend it to everybody. I do like walks along the beach, and I found a couple of trails that are nice. As for reading a book on the beach… I don’t think that’s for me. I rather catch a couple of waves. Thanks for the suggestions though, they do help a lot. 

Not really for my classes, but I might be able to get it arranged! Even just for a little break in the class to get some fresh air and move around. But I try to get outside for lunch and after work. The trails are so nice aren’t they? Oh now catching waves, that sounds like so much fun! I have never tried it, I’ve always been a little nervous to try it.

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: I thought there was one out a bit ago that had a really high spf but also worked as a moisturizer.... I'm gonna find it and buy you some.

Laura: My FAVE. I've been ending the night with some wine and sitting on the back patio after I put Aiden to bed.

Jackie: You are the best you know that right? A total life saver. Me and my skin will be forever thankful for you!

Jackie: Now that sounds like a dream! Add a book or maybe a tv show on your phone and that would be amazing. It must be such a great way to wind down.

[stevenxstephens]

Don’t you just hate the feeling that when you check your phone to see what day it is and it says Tuesday while you feel it’s Friday? It’s one of those days. The weekend can’t come fast enough. And while we’re on the subject of weekends… Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do? I need a break from all this paper work. 

[jackiestjames]

That is just the worst isn’t it? It is even more difficult when it gets nicer outside and you wish you could be out there having more fun. For what to do though I think it depends! I love to just walk along the pier sometimes and see what’s going on. Or! Sometimes I love to just break out a book at the beach and relax.

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: Do I need to get you crazy SPF sunscreen?

Laura: LOL there ya go

Jackie: Please do! I swear I keep trying to find the perfect one but every year I somehow find a way to burn myself at least once.

Jackie: I just want to to stay that pretty spring weather for awhile. The warm days and cooler nights? Amazing.

[jackiestjames]

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: You working on that tan?

Laura: Be careful what you wish for babe, one day it'll be nice and then all of the sudden we're gonna feel like we're in Florida.

Jackie: I certainly am! Or well...I'm trying too. I mostly burn if I'm not too careful.

Jackie: Oh god you're right, is it too late to take those words back? I want that hot weather to stay away as long as it can.

[jackiestjames]

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: It really has!

Laura: Oh ya know, just libing the life. How about you babes?

Jackie: The best way to live! I'm doing good! Just wishing more warm weather would keep coming. I've been spending so much free time at the beach.

[jackiestjames]

TEXT MESSAGE📲 LAURA & JACKIE

Laura: Hey red!

Jackie: Laura! Hello! It has been forever!

Jackie: How are you?

[jackiestjames]

stevenxstephens​:

So far so good. I like the quietness, although with tourist season starting I guess it’s going to be more crowded at the beach and around town in general? I found the bakery you’re talking about… not good for my waistline, ha. 

It does get crowded but not as much as the bigger cities do. It’s almost like a happy medium. It is kind of nice for a short time to see some new faces. Plus as soon as that season calms down though we’ll get to enjoy the beach for ourselves. Oh gosh right? It isn’t fair how amazing everything is there! 

[jackiestjames]

stevenxstephens​:

It has been a long while since I last been to a drive-in. Is it open all year round? I remember Luke mentioning something about the Mood Bar, I think. And a few others I’ve talked to since I moved here. I’ll check it out asap. 

It is! You know except if there is any crazy weather. You will have to! I swear there are so many hidden gems here. The bakery and coffee shop seriously get so much of my service. How are you enjoying it here so far? 

[jackiestjames]

farnsworth-sammy​:

That’s actually a great idea. And we can have that one later on the day or something like that? It’s fun setting up. Just make sure to mark or write down where you hid all the eggs else things get smelly if an egg gets left behind, like really bad smelly! Me, talking from experience here? You betcha. 

Now that would actually be fun, having set times for adults and kids! A little break so everything can get set up and rearranged, maybe even two different areas too. Oh goodness yes of course, that sounds extra important. That would totally ruin the fun of the day if that happened.

That’s the same damn thing I wish for, JJ. Time. Money doesn’t hurt either. Just need to hit that magic jackpot so B and I can have our monthly wedding anniversaries like I promised him!

You’re such a ball of fucking sunshine and positivity. I love it! Let me know when your happy self is on the way to the station. I’m here til 6. If you can’t make it until after just swing by the Anderschue casa. We’ll be here.

I feel like it is only fair that they come hand in hand you know? The more adventures you can go on the merrier. Monthly wedding anniversaries though? Yes please! Now that is just the cutest idea. 

I try to be! I feel like the world could always do with more of it so why not do what I can and bring in some extra sunshine? I’ll send a text your way. Gosh now those both sound like good options! Getting to see everyone at the station or seeing you and Blaine. This isn’t fair!
