went to the beach again on saturday, which was very nice but a little too windy. i opted out of going again yesterday, which was a good idea since my aunt and uncle had to come back early since the wind was too strong. but manuel loves the sand and especially likes to jump on me when i'm sleeping and get me all dirty.

it looks like it's going to be another slow work week for me, so i'm taking the opportunity to do some really early christmas shopping. living with my aunt and uncle has given me a lot of ideas for what they would like, and what manuel would like, but i still need to come up with ideas for everyone else. august is such a boring month because there are no holidays in sight, so right now i feel like listening to christmas music and watching "how the grinch stole christmas."

sorry for being so dull in this post, i'll try to do something interesting so i can write about it.
