Three things nourish me:

- the beach

- spending time with Winston

- walking outside.

When all three happen at the same time, my well is truly filled.

Highland Park reservoir. Thought I would try a side view of this stately building.

I had a kid come up to me and say that he remembered me, but that I was "way more skinny now". Uhhh yeah. I love how honest kids can be. *faceslap*

I don't think I'm any skinnier than I have been in the past year. Nothing out of control I don't think.. or, I should say I'm not actually thinking about eating or not eating, which can sometimes be bad.. but usually its a good thing. I have realized how unbelievably and disgustingly pale I am. I hate winter. I get so pale that I look sick.. gross bags under my eyes, veins all over the place, yucky whiteness. I want summer where I can whip out the Portuguese side of me and tan until I look like I'm from Mexico... or.. I guess, Portugal. Hah. I've been craving the warmness of sun. I've been SO cold ALL the time lately. I can't deeeal with it! Even when I'm sweating I'm cold. I'm under two down blankets right now and guess what?! I'm COLD!! Bah. Seriously. I want to move to Florida... or Vegas.. or Arizona.. somewhere where there's no humidity and my hair stays stick straight in 100º weather. Yeah. Sounds good to me.
