Hey there. I'm at the beach. YAY! It's actually been kind of overcast, which sucks. I mean, seriously, what's the ocean without the sun?! Oh well. The waves are really choppy, too, so any kind of surfing is out of the question. I did, however, attempt to body-surf earlier today and managed to get sucked under by the current and then neatly deposisted on the sand-bar... Oh well, I decided against try that again.

We're renting a house here, so it's rather nice [it has high speed internet, Ink is appeased.] But, my mom, cousin, sister and I were counting the beds in this house [there are five bedrooms total] and with the multiple beds in certain rooms, cots, trundle-beds, and pull out couches; we've found that there are 15 beds in this house. All but 4 of which could comfortably sleep three people my size [I'm 5 foot tall and am skinny, so I guess not normal people; but, small people like me]. It's kind of insane, if you ask me--I think we decided that we could sleep 20+ people if we wanted to... Which is kind of ridiculous because they're is only 4 people in my family; 5 if you count the cousin that's spending a couple days with us.

It's been a nice, laid-back weekend. Which is good. This house also has a hot tub [sighs]. It's wonderful. My cousin and I sat in it for like an hour today [yes, I do know you're not supposed to stay in them for any length of time--but, screw that it felt nice!!] and I read a good book. Besides Little Women, Lousia May Alcott wrote some creepy, dark romance called "A Long Fatal Love Chase". I recommend reading it if you're into gothic romances. It was beastly. I wanted to cry at the end. But, I'm already done with the book I planned on reading all week...and it's only Monday night... Crap. I'll have to steal some of the books ever.so.silently brought. I might dip into my mom's mystery collection. I think between the two of them my sister and mom brought well over 20 books, so I'll be set.
