i got burned.

like crispy burned. i look like a cherry tomato. i am so burnt my nose actually has this gnarly little blister on it. never ever again will i spend all day at the lake without sunscreen. i am qickly becoming the greatest advocate for skin protection.... because being this burnt feels like hell.

in other news....

i went and saw the fray and augustana play in sacramento on tuesday. augustana was amazing. i am pretty sure they were all stoned, but they put on such a great show, and all their new stuff is very organic and folksy. i really enjoyed it. the lead singer looks like this great combination of johnny depp as captain jack and kurt cobain in the months leading up to his death. the fray on the other hand.... i love the fray but they sucked live. they actually started out with a pretty strong set, but it turned into what i can only describe as a very akward piano recital with the lead singer trying hard to ride the coattails of chris martin. we didn't even stay for the entire thing, which is unusual for me. all in all it was a great night, interesting but great.

i am so blessed.

i could not imagine being happier right now. even in the midst of lifes trials, that may be never ceasing, all i have is joy, all i have is thanks.

my list of thankfulness right now:

my stephanies.
dog beach. and boats.
carnegie's pint night.
my beautiful friends, their beautiful lives.
worship.
dog beach ( i know i said it, but it has been so good to me lately...)
my amazing family.
iced coffee.
ten dollar bets and the martini bar.
distance from pain.
closeness of all things new.
new cds.
my cat.
jesus. his life.
the discovery channel at 1am.
surprise visits.

this list could easily go on and on.
