Lounging out in the sun for hours on the beach is exhausting.

My room is almost clean.

I can finally say "toy boat" three times fast.

Paisley is the most adorable girl name I have ever heard.

I need to find a money tree.

I played in the rain today and instantly felt amazing. And cold.

I went for a power walk and then the next day was experiencing a great amount of chest pain. Pretty sure my friend's right... exercising is detrimental to one's heath.

Yesterday, a friend and I were going out to eat by boat. Glory asked if she could come along. Her first answer was no. I saw her face just sink as she tried to hold back tears. I felt like holding back tears just from the look on her face. There was no way I could leave her behind. I asked her a little later after talking it over with my friend, "Glory, do you want to go with us to eat?" "CAN I?!?!" "Sure." I wish I had captured her reaction on video because there's no way on earth I can accurately describe how precious it was. I can say, however, that it involved everyone in ear-shot being informed "I'm going on the boat to Senior Frijoles!!!!" I could hear the violins soaring and I wanted to run in slow motion and embrace my sister... so I did.

And I would have posted pictures of our little adventure out to lunch (it was my first time being out in the boat unsupervised) but this blog is being stupid. Thus, I shall retire for the night and bid thee farewell.

Farewell.
