a treasure

.
First thing I must say... blogger is totally uninspiring. Gotta make the switch to wordpress. (How many times have I said that?!)

So I went to the beach this weekend. I totally and completely needed a break from work.

beach + mom.dad.bro + grandparents + uncle.sam/aunt.lucy = just what I needed.

Here's what I did/learned:

1. I learned that I love the beach (I used to really not like it... for whatever reason I'm not sure).
2. "People don't lift weights because of an anticipation/fear of someone on the street throwing a bar bell on their chest." This is one of the best explanations of why you should go to school and learn math, science, history, etc. You learn to think, solve problems, and make educated decisions... not to know the Pythagorean Theory, or the dates of the Battle of Gettysburg. I've understood this concept, but the analogy really makes sense.
   
3. My uncle, my brother, and I went people watching at Barefoot Landing. I haven't gone out with that intent in a while. That was really fun.
4. Dad inspires me so much. He spent a few hours researching solar chimneys and how they might solve the problem of unaffordable AC in third world countries. They would basically be free and run themselves. It sounds quite genius.
5. My parents had their 28th wedding anniversary!!! woooooo!
6. I got an HDMI cable so we could play PS3 on the beautiful HD TV at the condo... so now, naturally, I need (waaant) to get an HD TV to go with my HDMI cable. hahaha.

Now I'm in the process of packing and moving into my new house. I got really sad / choked up about not living with Tom and Harry anymore on the drive back to the mountains. It just hit me how this is happening. right. now. We're out of the house on Friday. I'm not ready. physically. mentally. emotionally. But it's happening anyways, isn't it? I'm going to miss them so much.
