Like, I'm in the, like, the OC

So......

California is beautiful. Well, not today, but every other day it has been. It is still overcast and a little cool for being almot noon, but every other day the smog/fog/crap has burn off fairly early. I spend my days sleeping in with the aid of earplugs. Except for today, when all the nieces and nehpews had early Fourth of July noisemakers given to them by grandma at TEN O'CLOCK in the morning. sheesh. Plus, I had bad dreams that someone was trying to kill me with a hammer last night. Where did that come from???

I have gotten myself a lovely tan, and am proud to say that I haven't really burned myself once yet. D, on the other hand, is pretty pink. Seems like all we've done here is eat, which is fine with me, except for the fact that I live in a bikini. Oh well, I just keep telling myself there are girls bigger than I in 2-pieces! I think lunch today shall be BJ's, whose Chicago-style pizza is better than the pizza I've had in actual Chicago. And the Pizookie is just so freaking good.

We go to the FunZone everynight and ride rides and play video games and try to win tickets. It's fun to watch the kids get excited about winning tickets. Heck, I love getting tickets too, and every year it's an internal debate with myself whether to give them away or keep them for myself...i'm so selfish!! ha!

we had sushi yesterday at our annual sushi outing. kaylynn tried a piece and then promptly ran outside to spit it in the ashtray, pushing aside an innocent bystander in the process. it was pretty funny!

it always stresses me out before the beach trying to figure out what outfits to bring and what to wear b/c all my sisters in law always have the cutest things, and i always feel subpar. but whatever. i think i'm holding my own this year, even if it's in my own mind.

we have our own room this year, which is SOOOO nice. and we even had our own night of cooking, which makes us feel like grown ups, even tho we aren't really.

there hasn't been much drama yet. no huge fights. but maybe b/c not everyone is here this year. we've played games most nights, which is fun. it's been the best beach week I've ever had! hooray!

my hour at the library is almost up, so i'll have to finish this up. i'm sure i'll have much more to write about when we get back home. that is, if i'm not too busy catching up on biochem homework. ew.
