I got more color in two hours at the beach yesterday than I did in four days in Vegas, most of which began and ended in the pool. I guess it's true about the 10-2 business.

Also, I left the A/C in my bedroom on low while I was gone, and even with the window in the living room open, it was surprisingly not-hot in my apartment when I got back.

I want to go to the beach. I should do something about that.

Like maybe go to San Diego for the weekend.

Or Hawaii.

I'm guessing that there are beaches closer to you, but since I spent six hours on a bus for my 2-hour beach trip, I have no leg to stand on.

I was invaded by small children. Damned, my apartment is completely fascinating to a 4 year old (T came by with 2 of her cousins, one of whom is 4.) But oh my gosh, it is not childproofed. No near misses, but I had to be really vigilant.

but you can't swim at the beaches near me.

Did you know the children, sarameg?

Um, Lee, I kind of forgot you don't live in LA anymore.

cooking is almost done. 2 salads with grilled chicken for each. Fish in the oven now as is a tray of sliced beets.

Well, I do now! T is the neighbor girl I've helped with her lines. Her cousins were over visiting.

I do the same thing.

Ah, Sarameg. Soon all of the neighborhood kids will be calling you auntie Sara and pinching your cheeks.

hee.
