i'm on my way to the beach in a few hours to go visit one of my best friends. i'm going to Delaware. i've never been to a beach on the east coast outside of north carolina so i'm a bit excited. plus i love the beach more than life itself. growing up on one and then moving to the mountains where i'm land locked makes for a not so fun time.

i spent 2 hours in the mall th eother day looking for a bathing suit. most stores have already pulled their suits for the season and the ones left were either to big or unbelievably grotesque. so now i'm stuck with having to buy a severely over priced suit at one of the tourist shops by the beach. we used to make such fun of the beach torists growing up. how easily they were ripped off and how badly they sunburned. now i will be one of those being ripped off. at least i don't burn. i have naturally pretty dark skin. it's gotten lighter and lighter over the years spent in the north. one of my relatives likes to joke that during the summer i change ethnicities.

i once was not allowed into a bar because the bouncer swore that the girl in my ID was black

speaking of bars things are picking up business wise so i am pretty content with my jobs right now.

i got a membership to the ymca so i can work out. bad idea. my body is now rebelling against me for putting it through 90 minutes of power yoga. i haven't worked out in years. they say to keep at it and then you get used to it. it's all i can do to lift my coffee cup to my face.

well i'm off to fill up my gas tank and be racked with guilt over it fo r the first half of my trip.

ya'll have a good one---Oki
