Wellll, since I hadn't won the lottery, nor do I live anywhere near a beach, mine looked more like this:
Hey- beggars can't be choosers, right? Now, for those of you reading this who REALLY know me, you know that I am literally unable to nap. No, I'm not kidding. I can't nap.

Relaxing. I could honestly say that I could have stayed in that hammock for hours this afternoon, if I'd had them available. And who knows? Maybe if I had stayed a little longer, I could have finally achieved...
