Ethereal Haziness

****

Since there are opposites to all things, I will choose the
easy instead of the difficult way.

I wish that were true of myself, but unfortunately, I'm
always drawn to the hard way of doing things. The funny
thing is, sometimes I know I'm doing things the hard way,
yet I'm powerless to control myself. Self-control. That's
what everything comes back to. I gotta get me some of that.

I had a lovely day with my family today. It truly was all
about the family. When I woke up this morning, I wasn't
sure what the day would hold for me. I stayed up very late
last night, somewhere around the vicinity of 5am. By the
time I fell asleep on the couch, the sun was starting to
come up. Snookums had gone to bed a little after midnight,
expecting me to come to bed soon after him, but as always,
when he goes to sleep before me, I end up on the couch
half the night watching infomercials and eating cookies. I
enjoy the solitary time, but I miss out on valuable sleep.
Anyhow, I digress.

I woke up this morning around 9am-ish. Gen called to see
if I wanted to do anything, which I didn't, because I
fully intended to stay in bed all day. I went back to
sleep after we got off the phone and awoke again around
noon (have I mentioned how lovely it is having Snookums
home)? I stumbled out into the bright afternoon and the
thought came to me that I should get out-we should get out-
as a family. The girls stayed home today (because Snookums
didn't want to drive them to daycare), so today was just
as good a day as any. We decided that since summer is fast
approaching it's end, we should go to the beach. My
favorite beach is Fay Bainbridge State Park on Bainbridge
Island. The water is pristine, the beach has actual sand.
The girls love it there and so do I.

I took my camera with me. Now that I've got a myspace I've
discovered I'm taking more pictures than I ever did
before. In the past they ended up downloaded to the
computer never to be looked at again, but on my myspace, I
organize photos into albums and go back to look at them
all the time. No to mention the added perk of being
accessible by my friends and family.

Somehow, the camera got sunscreen on the lens, so all the
pictures have this ethereal haziness to them. When I first
downloaded them, I was a little disappointed, but after
going through and cropping, cleaning up and enhancing
them. I decided I liked the haze. It made the day seem
like a dream. The girls had a great time, Snookums and I
had a great time. It was fun.

When we got home, I made cheeseburgers for dinner and the
girls went to bed early (thanks to all the sun and fun).
Now it's my turn. Sorry if this entry feels rushed. I'm so
ready to crawl into bed. I didn't get burned today, but I
did get a shade darker and I feel kind of warm. I'm cozy.
Ready for night-night. Ciao.
