The past days of vacation have been absolutely the kind of days you can't plan to be as fun as they are. I've spent countless hours in the sun, taken lazy afternoon naps, and eaten the most beautiful gourmet dinners in sexy little black dresses. There is a state of mind that I fall into every time I am here. The hours no longer matter and for that reason they pass oh so slowly in the lazy afternoon and fly past in the evening. A place like this is the kind of environment you know is healthy. When fresh fruit is the food of choice and laughter comes as easily as the sun in the morning there is no denying that I am in a happy place.
This morning it rained, a long soaking rain and when I woke up I was the first one awake. I decided that it was the perfect oppurtunity to sit and listen to the rain and start a new book. When I realized the rain was going to let up I jumped on the tread mill to pass some time and by the time I was done we realized that it was the perfect day for Mahjongg. So peggy came over and she, nana, and I taught Kels to play. By then the sun had come out and I swam a few laps before Kels and I headed to the beach to hear the drums at sunset.
Now I know the beginning of this entry sounds so unlike my normal writing style but it's like being in a dream here sometimes. It's so beautiful. Kels and Papa and I head back to Columbus tomorrow for all of the services for Grandpa next week (let the awkward-uncomfortable-frustrating encounters begin!). I'm dreading all of it but I try to remember to enjoy the time I have left. God, I feel so good here. It's like normal Krista times 10. It's refreshing. I think I may come back for a few days right before school starts.
I haven't been working out like crazy every day but most of the time I'm pretty busy and moving a lot so I end up getting plenty of exercise anyway. Today I got a good run. I laughed at myself this afternoon when I starting beating myself up for eating rice cakes and frozen yogurt. Seriously! Then I took a step back and was like WOAH! First of all you're on vacation and second of all, if that's the worst thing you're eating on forementioned vacation you're doing pretty damn good. I reminded myself that this vacation is about the memories and funny inside jokes (refer to title for example) that I will take from this week (along with lots and lots of pictures).
