So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time...
When I was younger, I watched a lot of Gilligan's Island. When I was older, I was enthralled with LOST. I can safely say that while I like watching it on the screen, I would absolutely never want to find myself in that predicament. I'm not a survivor in those terms - MFD is the survivor in our relationship.
Even so, I've spent a lot of minutes in this life idly thinking about things I'd have with me on a desert island. I've also thought a lot about that term - shouldn't it be deserted island? You'd think, but desert is just an archaic form of deserted that means the island is uninhabited, not dry like a desert. Whatever, I know. p.s. - the photo above is from 2010 and was taken on Disney's private island in the Bahamas, and this post itself has been in draft form since 2014.
Food - steak
Snack - strawberries
Drink - iced coffee (there is free flowing non poisonous water on this island, damnit)
Clothes - maxi dress
Accessory - big ass scarf
Beauty product - Soap
Luxury item - sunglasses
Books - Honestly, I can't think of a more terrible category. I consume books quickly. I would like an endless library. That being said, I will go with Beach Music by Pat Conroy.
Music - Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
TV Series - Beverly Hills 90210
Movie - Dirty Dancing...did you expect something else? I can spend an eternity driving myself crazy dissecting this movie.
What are your picks? Or do you need the weekend to mull it over?
Have a good one!

Love, love, love Beach Music and all Pat Conroy books.
ReplyDeleteLoving the series you picked to watch - I think I would agree with you because it's long and the episodes were an hour not a half hour!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThis is very fun. Not in any particular order. Neutrogena spf 70 sunblock cream, jumbo lump crabmeat , Cadbury mini eggs, my phone with good service and everlasting battery, The Works of Florence Scovel Shinn, my quilt from Lori.
ReplyDeleteA happy Friday and weekend to all.
Love. Your. Momma.
This is so fun-- I think I'd definitely go with iced coffee too! Wishing I was in the Bahamas right now- that water looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteI love a comfy maxi dress!! You can never go wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteI would need more than a weekend to mull it over. What a list. Movie = Empire Records and Food = nachos, that much I'm sure of. And I am leaning towards iced coffee with you. The rest I don't even know if I could choose.
ReplyDeleteNow I really need to be on a beach with that water, those are the best days. And yes to all the iced coffee and 90210 re-runs. Happy Friday <3
ReplyDeleteI would most definitely go with iced coffee!
ReplyDeleteReading Pat Conroy on the beach is basically my perfect summer day...
ReplyDeleteSunglasses - smart.
ReplyDeleteI love you pick Beverly Hills 90210... were you a Dylan or Brandon kinda girl? :)
I pretty much would have this same list, except rose for the drink and bob marley for the music. Oh 90210, great choice, I need to add that to my binge list! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteFUN!! I've never heard of Beach Music but now I need to go check it out! I definitely need more than a weekend to mull over my responses - I am the world's most indecisive person. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun post, but also hard to choose as well! I'm with you on not knowing if I could choose one book to be on a deserted island with, but without a doubt I'd choose chips and salsa as my snack!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely steak for me too. I'd take MJ's "Thriller" album for my musical selection.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd bring chapstick and peanut butter. And a pillow because comfort is key.
ReplyDeleteahhh dirty dancing is my favorite too! I also second peanut butter ^
ReplyDeleteLove your movie pick! I could probably watch that forever, too!
ReplyDeleteMy dog, my Kindle, my ipod, a charger, my specs, and a comfy chair.
ReplyDeleteFood - Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwiches
ReplyDeleteSnack - Brie and french bread
Drink - Coke Classic
Clothes - stretchy shorts and my Genny Light tank
Accessory - hair ties
Beauty product - body wash
Luxury item - sunglasses
Books - All the Harry Potter books
Music - Indigo Girls 1200 Curfews
TV Series - Friends
Movie - Auntie Mame
oh gosh. i'd need like internet to watch whatever movie i wanted an a kindle full of all the books in all the world. i'd prefer real books, but you can't be too picky on a desert island right? haha. obviously i'd need electricity and internet to make those things work. haha.
