Well, looky here, I have my cat camera pics ready. I brought the camera with us to Block Island. I don't think it turned out quite as well as the Party Time camera, but love them anyway. And without further adieu, here's a little kitty-cat recap.

Is that a cat on the beach? Or are you just happy to see me.
I've only ever been to Block Island one time before, but when I thought about my 30th birthday, and what I wanted to do, it instantly came to my mind. I mean, the place is like a Edward Hopper painting or something. It's beautiful and tranquil and has a movie theater that was once a roller-rink (with disco ball and all). What I love most is that the island itself doesn't allow tons of buildings to be built. Their goal is to keep the small fishing island feel. As a result there are gorgeous meadows, and undistributed beach sides. You almost feel like you time-travel a bit when you go. Bottom line, it's the bees knees and I can't wait for sun, surf and sangria.
For the last thirteen days, I've had no "real" responsibilities and it has been wonderful. I've managed to do a lot in the last fortnight, I've visited tons of friends & family, went to see The Rockettes, went to my first blow dry bar, went to hot yoga, holiday parties, shopped and cuddled my fur babies for hours on end. It was the exact vacation that I needed. With work being so crazy, being able to escape for a little bit was a perfect gift.

Who knew getting your hair blown out could be so wonderful?!
Lets play a game called "what Katie wants RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND." It'll be fun, I promise. In order to really, truly get into this game, I'll need you to play this song:
OK, you have the song playing, right? Lets wait a few seconds so that the mellow melody can REALLY sink in. I'll count to ten.
One...
Two...
Three..
Four..
Five..
Ok. I'm over this counting business. You have the music playing, you're "feeling it" or whatever. Now imagine that you're outside, preferably look at this:
One of my favorite bits of earth, Narragansett, RI
There's a warm summer breeze blowing on you, the salty fresh air is assaulting your face in the most pleasant way, and your hand is comfortably cool thanks to the pina colada sitting in it.
As you leisurely take a sip, you realize that there is nothing more amazing than sitting by the sea, having an a-dult beverage, and enjoying the summer. And it's at this point of my day dream that I think
Yup, that's exactly what I want. RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND. I want to be seaside forgetting my responsibilities.
And now I have to ask:
VACATION WHERE ARE YOU?
It's me Katie, and I'm desperate to see you again.
