Our only summer.

Today is one of those days that, even sitting at my computer with my back to my window which faces a stucco wall, I can still feel exactly how beautiful it is outside. I have the perfect breeze coming in on me. It is the perfect temperature at my desk, for once! I can feel exactly what it woul dbe like to be lying on a chaise, under the protection of some beautiful cabana, next to one of those incredible sparkling pools you only see in movies about LA that were made in the 80's. It's times like this that i forget how much I hate putting on a bathing suit. I forget how I prefer the rain and cold to a bright, sunny afternoon. I forget that I am paler than anyone I have seen in quite a while.

I want to be laying under that amazing Cypress tree in the middle of the Botanical Gardens. I want to take a nap in the sun. Maybe this afternoon calls for a walk and a possible tan line.
