Oh me oh my it's monday!

The beach. Palm trees. A nice ocean breeze. In most it elicits squeals of joy, especially when accompanied by friends and family. For me? Not so much.Somehow the beach is a topic of stress that rolls around every year- a constant nagging voice saying "that girl has flatter abs than you" or "look at her legs, so toned" which of course is followed by an accusatory look down at my own and a remark saying "better hit the gym." worst of all: the boy factor- if a group of guys walks by you wanna look your hottest, you don't wanna accidedntally flash them everything from behind because your too-loose bikini bottoms fell down. (hey, you just recently went on a diet! it's not your fault! and, by the way, not from personal experience do i know this. not at all.) *sheepish grin*

But this year I have deemed the beach UNSTRESSFUL. okay, that's a lie. I haven't deemed it unstressful, not one bit. but I have decided that I won't be afraid to get out there and SWIM. For the love of swimming, come on! The main point of this story is to have fun. That's what beaches are there for...I know how cliche this sounds but I really gotta speed it up so here goes: Wear sunglasses, don't worry about your hair, and pal around with ur buds, chances are you'll meet a guy by asking him to play a game of beach volleyball or talking to him at the ice cream stand. But you won't meet one in your swim cover up sitting self consciously on a towel away from the world with your iPod in and shoving a book by your face. trust me on that one. so have fun! even fi you don't meet anyone you still got something from it. and i don't mean a sunburn. *hardy har har har- LAUGH!*

ps: the reason i had to speed up? CASTLE IS ON. THE SHOW I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR. IT'S LIKE GREY'S ANATOMY'S CASUAL COWORKER FLIRTATIONS + LAW & ORDER: CI'S CRIME SCENES? WHAT MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY ASK FOR? (OH, AND HE'S A WRITER. 'NUFF SAID.)
pps: good night ;-)
