a day at the beach

on wednesday it was 95 degrees here in Seattle!!! that temp. set the record in 1951 for that day. assuming it would be just as clear and close to that warm (hey, it was the forecast) on thursday, my sis and i headed out to the beach (at Golden Gardens) it was chilly and there were gray clouds everywhere. we were so disappointed but we stuck it out even through the little drizzles that threatened our picnic. finally there was a break in the clouds (dun dun duuuuunn)


and it just kept getting clearer and warmer. it was a GREAT beach day.

and nothing goes with sun like brown bag'n it.

sometimes my sis and i get together and can't stop laughing - it was one of those days - and that was before the beer! these are her lovely sand slippers that were so funny:



after the beach i went and knitted with a friend and actually made some noticeable progress on those leg cozies - almost ready to start the lace part.

i just got this lap desk and let me say that it is heaven. i have a laptop and that sucker gets hot on my lap. i used to put in on my ottoman but then my back would hurt - this is so much better. and when i'm not using the laptop i use the lap desk on the futon for plates and cups. (ya, i know i'm a geek)
