so i got a new book today
'getting the pretty back' by molly ringwold
i have been devouring the book, it is written so that i can understand it well, which is hard for me to find books like that
and she seems so nice too.
she writes about how as time goes on, and you get older, you can loose your 'pretty' whatever form it may have taken at any point in your life, and it is possible to get the pretty back in your life again. be an authentic person and be yourself.

it is thursday of our vacation week and it is so sad to know that we have to go home soon
it is wonderful that we have this available to us, i feel very privileged to have the opportunity to be here.
i hope that we can come back again in the fall.
i have not felt the creative bug as much as the last few times i was near the shore
maybe it is because i have decided that my creativity is mainly in the form of words and beading and maybe something with beading and words combined.
i do not have the talent to draw so anything that contains drawing is not going to work for me
but i can paint a picture with my words pretty well

watching these teenagers interact is very interesting
you have popular and not so popular
you have geek and cool
you have leaders and followers
it is funny how the geek and not popular tend to not follow
maybe it is just my opinion

i can hear the waves still in the background as the kids play hearts and the chairs squeak. i hear the wind in the low trees as the crickets chirp.

this vacation is irritating me
