Day of Rest

I love having days off of work. Today I spent my free day shopping (just a quick run to Target, I bought orange nail polish!) and enjoying the sun at the beach (I managed to burn my back and shoulders!)

Between reading and texting I painted this little picture of the beach:


Ok, it's not my best effort, it lacks detail, and depth, but I think it captures how I felt being at the beach!

I also managed to get a workout in today and it KILLED me. Gosh, I can't believe I have been so lazy lately!

Say Cheese!

I love having the day off of work. I get the chance to do fun things.

I went to the beach to work on my tan. Luckily I didn't burn, but I did manage to get sand embedded into my scalp. The wind was driving the sand into all of us sun worshipers today, but no one seemed to mind. The crazy wind, sun, and a giant pink building made me think of the Canet beach in France. I really wish I could be there right now to enjoy the sun and a great croissant.

Here's a couple of photos from the past couple of weeks here in Chicago:
