Ah, The Freeing Heat

Summer, a time of well wishes, and fun. I find summer freeing in more than the obvious way of no responsibilities relating to academics. I love the heat. I like how I can walk around in "Daisy- Dukes and bikinis on top" without anyone looking twice. I find it amusing that I can sleep in my underwear and not be looked at as weird. One of my favorite aspects of summer is the beach, or more specifically how I feel when I lie down in bed after a day at the beach, for those of you who have never experienced this feeling it is like you are being rocked to sleep by the waves. My family, and a couple of our friends share a small cabana, it is not one of those fancy ones with electricity, or lighting, but it works. Every summer we go down to the beach, put our stuff in the cabana and just swim. My brother, my father, and I all love to swim, (and my mother likes to tan). When you dive under a wave, and for a split second you can't see or breathe and your head hurts from the pressure, it sounds terrifying, but it is delightfully romantic. When I was little (and I use that term loosely for I am technically speaking still little at 5 foot even) I used to think I was a mermaid. I loved looking for Ariel, the Disney princess, in the water. My grandma, or my Mommom, used to tell me she could see Ariel in the water, to try to get me to loose my fear of the waves. I could only see her when I wore  my sparkly shoes, they signaled her. Just writing these things makes me long for my ocean. I haven't been to the beach since last summer, because I have been on vacation, I was hoping to go yesterday when I finished work, but it started to thunder. And tommorow I have a birthday party at a nearby horse race track. I am quite excited because I have not been there since I was about three. I will be sure to post about my adventure. Well let me wrap this up with, I miss the waves, the ocean, the shells, the sand crabs, and just water in general. Well that's not totally true, I have been to my local pool a few time, I really enjoy the water slides, they give me a thrill.
Oh and listen to this song, it's the Winnie the Pooh song, but listening to it in it's entirety is really amazing.
