Currently....

Loving: The beach! To say I am I having a grand time relaxing with my book in a lounge chair on a beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic would be quite the understatement. It is absolutely gorgeous here! So much so I could see myself becoming a total beach bum 24/7 if the opportunity ever presented itself.

Reading: Shantaram. I brought a couple other titles with me in case this one didn't hold my attention, but I am completely enthralled with the life of Linbaba and his Indian friends. As I told a friend the other day who has recently finished reading this book as well, it is a title I wish I would have read years ago.

Listening: I think this is the first time in a long time I have left the iPod behind while on the beach. Not listening to the waves and breeze through the palm trees would be missing a huge part of the experience.

Writing: I haven't written a complete anything since I arrived last week but I have lots of ideas flowing which is almost as good. It's been a wonderful feeling putting pen to paper again and the fact that it is happening so freely/easily is proof enough for me that this vacation was just what the doctor ordered!

This Week In Photos

My parents left for vacation this week, so I've been annoying my brother by hanging out at their house to watch some baseball and the Olympics (I don't have cable or an antenna to watch either at home). I've also been using the change of location to put together some ideas for some future posts.

Below are some of the photos I've snapped while handing out around my parents house.

I've been using the change in location to work out some ideas for future blog posts.


Lots of fun details tucked around every corner.

My brother's song books, amps, guitars and strings are all over the house.
  The weather has been crazy this week. Lots of clouds. Lots of storms and even some hail.
