You Might Be A Seaglunker…..


If you always have sand under the nails of your index finger and your thumb, you might be a seaglunker.

If your fingertips always taste like saltwater, you might be a seaglunker.

If you work full-time and wish that every major coastal storm hit on a Friday so you could be first to the beach on Saturday to collect, you might be a seaglunker.

If your eye catches the glint of cobalt blue, then you suck your breath in, do a silent scream, and do a five year old's happy dance when you uncover that perfectly tumbled piece, you might be a seaglunker.

If your dining room table perpetually looks like this:

or this, you might be a seaglunker:

If you say to your husband, "I'm going to the beach for an hour" and he rolls his eyes because he knows you'll be gone for four, you might be a seaglunker.

If you tell yourself you're only going to search the beach for an hour, but are there for four because you might miss that "perfect piece", you might be a seaglunker.

If your best friend tells you to step away from your addiction and go back to your car, you might be a seaglunker.

If you willingly plow through knee deep snow to get to said beach after said storm to be the first to collect, you might be a New England seaglunker.

If the hems of your jeans are perpetually wet because there was a "wicked good piece" that you had to wade into the 35 degree ocean to retrieve, you might be a New England seaglunker.

If your face is red and you're not sure if it's sunburn or windburn (or most likely both) because you've been out collecting on a 10 degree day, you might be a New England seaglunker.

If you consider 30 degrees and a slight wind to be balmy weather that doesn't require a hat or gloves, you might be a New England seaglunker.

  1. Too cool! I'd love to do that in New England. I'm on the eastern shore of Maryland, and we find interesting bits around here -- sea glass, but also shark teeth, pottery, brick, randomness. Very cool randomness comes up!

  2. If you read a post like this, and wonder why in the world you were born in wisconsin with no sea even close to you! you might be a closet Seaglunker.

    I found your blog from the bead soup blog list!

  3. You'll have to come to Maine some time to collect Lori! I actually prefer walking the beach and collecting in the fall, winter and spring. There are fewer people on the beach!

    Rock Creek Creations - you are too funny! Should you ever get to the ocean you'll have to try your hand at it. It's mesmerizing!
