Vacation comes to an end....

Alas, my glorious vacation is now coming to an end. After the trip to Arizona, my sister and I took a road trip to the Jersey Shore (Billy Joel's lyric keeps running through my head). Wow - it was absolutely perfect. It was 85 degrees out, blue skies, and warm end-of-summer ocean water. We stayed at a charming Bed and Breakfast and really just relaxed the whole time.

Here is my "bathing beauty" photo - despite much sunscreen, we still got great tans (awesome!!).

But then, of course, we have to come BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. Bleh!


I can't believe how quickly I got totally stressed out as soon as I returned to my otherwise lovely abode. I just had this long conversation with my mom, where I began to list every single thing that has been wearing on my mind. They are much too complicated to go into here, but, boy, let me tell you - my stomach hurts just thinking about everything.

Well, it sure was nice while it lasted.
