I could totally go for the beach right now… enjoy! Also, re: your comment about St. John, if you have any info on where you stayed, could you email me when you get a chance?
Brandi: no no - this is my only beach trip this month. i’ve been up in new england for a week, peeling from the beach trip. that picture was just VERY delayed.
only beach trip.
so.
NO need to hate!!!
I would hate you, but I can’t..it’s not in my biological make up to hate you for staying at a beach with a fantastic view, and sunshine, and sea spray, and warm sand, and little baby sea turtles, and a snuggly husband, and a great book…..
Now my husband may hate you because he loves being anywhere he can use his dive equipment.
Alas, I can stand the salty water and the way it makes my skin feel.
So, I will say the view is beautiful…but I like the pool in the picture best.
I have a view of my flower bed that needs weeding, anthills that need demolishing and watching the sun scorch our grass for lack of trees in the front yard.
I just realized, after I came here to check your comments (b/c I just had a blog conversation in my head and realized…oh yeah, Mandy was *just* talking about this) that I just used this same layout. That sucks. I did it though b/c it matched the picture in my header. The red and all. Hmmmm.

Hate may be too strong. It’s more severe envy.

Bea-u-ti-ful! It looks like it slopes out very gradually, perfect for walking in on a sunny day. There weren’t many of them were there? :LOL:
lovewillbringustogether // May 23, 2008 at 8:59 pm
View? 5 and a half - maybe 6 - out of ten for a beach balcony shot.
Hate you? People in Australia generally, and Perth in Particular, feel sorry for you!
Still - if you feel that’s acceptable… Whatever makes YOU happy
