We just got back from our yearly trip to Bethany Beach, Delaware. It was a stellar week as far as the weather goes.. low humidity, sunny skies and the waves were quite calm. Therefore many hours were spent oceanside reading...I read three books last week. The first one I have to mention is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
. Steve and I both were captivated by this book and could not put it down. We each read it in a day. Steve is now on the third installment in the series.. there will not be another one because unfortunately the Danish author Stieg Larsson passed away suddenly at the young age of 50 after writing the third book. Another good beach read... that is not as popular "One Day"
about a 20 year relationship between two people that meet one day after graduation from college and spend 24 hours together and then go their separate ways but keep in touch with letters and phone calls and visits. Every chapter in the book starts with July 15 of a different year and what is happening in their lives on that day. It made me laugh out loud and cry and I could not put it down.

It made me laugh out loud and cry and I could not put it down.We had to have cocktail hour on the beach and what better way to cool off than a margarita on ice. But not just any margarita, we had skinny girl margaritas. They were delicious and only 100 calories. I brought three bottles with me from home. Which, I had to search far and wide for. They are sold out almost everywhere. Beltway Liquors had a few cases there last week.. I hope they still have more because I have company coming this weekend.
We always have a girls day out midweek, with my mother, Sandy, my sister, Adele and Amanda and her friend, Payton. We go to lunch in Rehobeth Delaware and then to the outlets there. Mom loves The Ralph Lauren Outlet and Amanda, Adele, Payton and I go to J.Crew. This year they had some great tee shirts and cordoroy jeans on sale. I also found an adorable black and white leopard print cotton blouse and a cotton jersey boyfriend jacket in black. Amanda and Payton found neon colored skinny flower belts on sale that were a steal. Payton found a great little jersey print one shoulder dress at BCBG that she wore that night out for sushi.
We stopped on the way back at Prime Outlets to see if there was anything we missed and I found a great little wallet to fit in my smaller purses that was 50% off the discounted price and we were given a 20% off coupon when we entered the store! And Amanda got an adorable "poppy" wristlet in gold with the same discounts. Steve.. who never buys himself anything bought a new credit card holder. Everything was so reasonably priced it was hard not to find something. Under Armour outlet is there as well and they had some great pieces that you never see discounted anywhere. So check it out.
Gotta go shopping.
