beach, baby

I might be feeling sick, but I'm heading to the beach tomorrow and I'm going to try my best to enjoy it, stuffed up nose or not.

The first beach trip of the season always makes me giddy! I can remember being so excited for beach trips when I was little that I'd stay up late the night before making lists of books and sunglasses and blankets that I was going to bring. A list for the beach? Some things never change, I suppose.

(The above photo might be of the Outer Banks of North Carolina instead of the coast of Connecticut, but I'm going to enjoy for what it's worth, anyways).

I hope your Saturdays are filled with sunshine and warm weather, too!

this severe lack of blog posting brought to you by:

1. PMS

2. Grad school anxiety

3. Grad school excitement

4. PMS

5. Unrequited like (not to be confused with love, just yet)

6. Work busy-ness

7. Preparing for huge life transitions

7. Did I mention PMS? Guh.

ah, saturdays.

My day today will (hopefully) go something like this:

1. Drag my butt out of this chair and start my day by SHOWERING.

2. Tackle my huge big long list of to-do items (clean the litter box? do laundry? vacuum?)

3. Work on (finish, perhaps?) my grad school apps.

4. Maybe make an impromptu trip to Starbucks for a gingerbread latte.

5. REFUSE to go shopping. No matter how tempting.

6. Babysit.

7. Enjoy the expected SNOW that's coming :)

8. Try to avoid this perpetual headache.

9. Call Abby, my long-lost-friend who probably thinks I'm ignoring (I'm not, really).

10. Revel in SATURDAYS and try not to think ahead to Monday . . .

What are your plans for this Christmasy Saturday?
