 I just got back from the beach. I am so tired. nbsp;  I can't wait to get into my own queen size bed- not to mention my comfortable bed. nbsp;
 But I am too hot to sleep at the moment since my A/ C has been off all week. nbsp;  Let me tell you a few things that I learned this week at the beach.  1. nbsp;
 I& nbsp; need to realise that some personalities just don't get along well together. nbsp;  I just spent a week at the beach with three other friends: nbsp;
 one other girl ( thank goodness)  and two boys. nbsp;  There are definate A and B personalities and they can't always appreciate& nbsp;
each other's& nbsp; differences. nbsp;  I was determined to have a great time at the beach and I did,  but it was definately interesting.
nbsp;  I knew going into the week that it could be that way. nbsp;  It just isn't& nbsp; cool when you find out what pushes someone's buttons and gets them worked up and then continue to do it.
nbsp;  Especially when you have a 9 hour car ride together. nbsp;  If you dish it out,  then you better be willing to take it. nbsp;
 It just stinks when you are the " peacemaker"  type and want to know why we can't just all get along. nbsp;  2.  Kites are so easy&
nbsp; to fly on the beach. nbsp;  Just be careful because it might not be tied at the end. nbsp;  Then it will fly off and be eaten by the sea oats that you can't go into.
nbsp;  Those signs are everywhere. nbsp;  3. nbsp;  If you've seen one souvineir shop,
 you've seen them all. nbsp;  4. nbsp;  There are some great places to eat in Gulf Shores. nbsp;
 EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE SEAFOOD- like me. nbsp;  If you go there,  be sure to check out Bayside Grill. nbsp;
 5. nbsp;  Books are better when read by the beach. nbsp;  Just take them in before it rains. nbsp;
 & nbsp;  Those are some things that I learned on my trip to the beach. nbsp;  I might think of some more at some point after I get some sleep. nbsp;
 But for now,  that's it. nbsp;  & nbsp;
