I wonder if Insomnia is my way of gettig what i really want....to be alone in the quiet and the selfish absorption of whatever i want to do right now; write, eat, watch my tivo shows (like all 12 of them in a row). Fold laundry and stack it up all over the living room without fear of the little one knocking it over.
I can sleep in right? ha! not likely. but i dont care 'cuz i can sleep on vacation....
We are leaving for our annual pilgrimage to the beach for a glorious 7 whole nights! I am beside myself with excitement. I like to pretend that i live there fulltime, that i am a local and know what i am doing and where i am going and what coffee shop is best and what fish is fresh and ...sheesh i sound so self-absorbed. Truly i just really really love the beach. I love beach communities, i love the people and their laid back 'easy does it' attitude. I love that i could bring a pair of shorts and a bathing suit and be all set for the week (not that i would, i am such a girl and always pack for like a month). I love the way the beach air feels and the way my hair is always frizzy and sticky (just kidding), I love the salty air and how my towels never dry when i hang them up (thats a joke too). I love the sound of the ocean and the sunsets, oh my gosh the sunsets are amazing. i don't particularly like going into the ocean water...have you seen the so-cal ocean water??
I love the simple life; 600 square feet, 1 bathroom and all. It is so easy and so simple, uncomplicated and free. Why then do i have a 2500 square foot house full of stuff?? I don't know, that may be a topic for another post.
I have always admired my friend Shari and her simple life; the girl has like 2 pairs of shoes and barely a coat closet full of clothes (and always looks Banana Republic fantastic!) She only keeps books she adores and her house never looks cluttered, because there isn't anything to clutter it. Did I mention she has 3 kids?
I wish i could do that.
One day I will live at the beach, either part-time or full time...I will be the one ticky ticky typing away at all hours of the night.

Hi Deana-- you and I know each other from another life, it seems -- KD days from CSUSB. I came across your blog via your Facebook via someone else's Facebook -- Dusty maybe? Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hi" and tell you that I'm enjoying reading these posts on your blog -- I could have written some of them myself! Hope you're well :)
