Shell Beach

Is wonderful.  I can't think of many places I love more.  Unfortunately it just left me MORE sunburned.  Vacationing is so nice, good food with no thoughts of weight, sitting in the sun and sand for hours without thought of things to do tomorrow...

I'm going to sleep on account of spending all day in the water and the sun. I love Point Reyes.  

Some obligatory pictures:

Fluffy sunset... that's the only way I can explain it.  
We played Scrabble.  

And my favorite picture of J EVER.  

My new favorite thing.

This sign in San Francisco. 

What is a "Paint Research Laboratory" what goes on there, and if you are a "Paint Research Laboratory" can't you repaint your own sign?

Plans changed, and I'm staying in Point Reyes with J until wednesday.  This is both good, and well, interesting.  My mom and J have not really spent any time together in the past, and so this will be exactly that... interesting.  At least I got to spend all day at Drakes Beach today, with sun and surf... me and J stayed in the (freezing) water for over 30 minutes riding the waves and splashing each other, then spent the rest of the time soaking in some sun.  Even J, who is whiter than a ghost took off his shirt and got a little color.  Hopefully we'll get to go to the bay tomorrow where it's supposedly warm enough to swim laps.  

One more terribly scary thing that happened today, for a whole bunch of reasons that I will go into soon, my father (and if you know me you know that my father and I don't exactly have the best relationship) is going to take me and J to college.  Whoa.  

Now I need to go sleep off my bright red sunburn.  

Scenery Pill

I spent all today in Point Reyes with my mom... Point Reyes, the most beautiful place in the world.  I didn't even go anywhere exciting, not to the beach, or the beautiful trails, anywhere. But still,  just around the town, and about 10 times to the friend of my mom's who lets her do her laundry at his house, even that is gorgeous.  It's like some sort of supplement, a vitamin, someone should bottle, "Beautiful Scenery, one pill a day keeps the gloom away".  It certainly kept my gloom away today...

I've also been watching this show called 30 days, which I recommend to EVERYONE.  It's available on Hulu.com.  It's so fascinating.  I'm watching this great episode where a Mom concerned with her college daughters drinking decides to binge drink every night for 30 days.  It's well, interesting... I mean, as a college student who is rather responsible, but still does go out and drink and get drunk, it's interesting to see both the college student who gets drunk to the point of blacking out every night (I've only ever blacked out and thrown up once) and the mom who can only handle four drinks before throwing up.  

I also started 40 days of two yoga sets yesterday, and we'll see how it goes, even just doing these two EASY PEASY ones are soo hard, so incredibly difficult.  I'm sore even just after two days, without even doing 26 repetitions of each one (I actually can't yet).  So yea... we'll see. Hopefully by posting about it every day I can keep up with it.  

Anyway... one more little tidbit, I'm involved in an art show in Point Reyes, in the Gallery Route One, where they send out over 100 completely blank empty wooden boxes to do anything you please with to artists in the area.  I'll keep posting about my progress (it's due in a week) hopefully without giving away anything too big!
