How I’m spending the end of the world

Assuming that the Mayans were right…. or rather, assuming that some interpretations of the end of the Mayan calendar were right…

This is it.

My last day on earth, and certainly my last post on One Crafty Lady.

Taking that into consideration, my day today in Sarasota, FL was probably a pretty good way to ring in the end of human civilization:

After spending the morning at Lido Beach, the three muskateers (that’s me, the gf, and her mom) had lunch at the delightfully tacky Daiquiri Deck in Siesta Village.  Tacky in a good way… Sports on TV, good service, a table above the street, and country music in the background.  I had a nice chicken fajita wrap and key lime pie.  I mean, you can’t come to Florida and not eat key lie pie, right?

Anyway, after lunch we headed to the acclaimed Siesta Beach.  I’ve been on plenty of beaches, but “they” say this one is #1 in the US.  I can’t confirm or deny this, but I will say that Siesta Beach is big, uncrowded (at least today it was), and full of soft white sand like I’ve never seen*.

And as I type, I’m enjoying a nice salad, glass of wine, good company, streaming wifi, and freshly washed hair.  A nice way to spend the end of the world.

So. Meet me next week at Starbucks??

* After reading a historical marker, I came to find out that the unbelievably soft sand on Siesta Key is mostly quartz that came down rivers as sediment from the Appalachian Mountains.  Given some of my previous travels, I found this to be especially apropos.
