i had the most wonderful day today. i honestly think it was the best fourth of july i have ever had.

M, my family, and i spent the day in the city. we went to navy peir and the beach...oh the beach. i never wanted to leave. i could have spent the entire day just sitting by the waves. i love the feeling of the soft sand and the waves hitting your feet...and even when there's seaweed tangled around your ankle, it's still wonderful.

Plus, there were SO MANY BABIES!!!!!

This song has been stuck in my head for a while now...and quite appropriately. And i know no one ever reads lyrics, but read these.

You called me after midnight,
it must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch a half of what had gone wrong,
said "I don't know what I can save you from. "
I don't know what I can save you from.
I asked you to come over,
and within half an hour,
you were at my door.
I had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on.
Still I don't know what I can save you from.
I don't know what I can save you from.

"I don't know what i can save you from"
