Thursday Thoughts!

Thoughts for today...

• I like the pool; no sand!
• Homemade guac rocks!!
• My house is VERY big...
• Ugh, gas is creeping up again.
• It rains more in FL than I would have thought.

My newest Bestie!

Since I move a lot I am hesitant to use the term BFF...I like the thought it conjures up, however, I think it can be so excluding and as one who is often the "new girl" I shy away from using such terminology. Today I am making an exception and introducing you to my newest BF. I think we are going to get along famously.

:o)

Thursday Thoughts!

Oh my, what a week, getting up to speed in Florida is interesting, I had a hurricane briefing yesterday...first time for everything and this was a first for me, I have lived in areas of blizzards (we had three while in CO), tornados (can you say OK), and tropical storms (Azores, VA) but the possibility of a hurricane has me a bit edgy. The whole evacutaion thing has me slightly concerned, I mean you have to wait for official word to go, then find a place to go and go with EVERYONE else. Pray that you choose to go the right way, cause the hurricane's path may change. And consider that I will do this alone as my MiB would be here riding out the storm. Did I mention we live out on one of the barrier islands? Yeah, it is great, close to the beach and all, but also where the hurricane comes!

Oh well, I will be putting together my hurricane kit and evacuation bag as soon as I get the closet finished. Most everything else is adequately organized and put away, the kitchen it still not really flowing for me but each time I cook in it I move things to help that. The other main rooms are as good as they are going to get, we simply do not have the furniture to fill a home this big and I am not going to go buy it since who knows how big our next place will be. The closets are still in need of help, but I am tackling the master bedroom one and then leaving the others for a later date, I would also like to get the garage more put away, we will hopefully work on that this weekend.

Beach trips have been plentiful and yesterday lil Blue and I body surfed, which was pretty fantabulous, the water was perfect, rolling with soft waves and we had a blast! Minus the bird that tried to steal our box of Triscuits. I tell you it was a persistent thing, first time it WAS our fault for leaving the box open on the blanket, but then the little bugger tried to pull the closed box out of our bag; it was a good thing I had stuck my cell phone down in the side of the box or he would have flown off with them. Course I guess if he had been bigger I would have been hosed as he flew off with my cell phone in the cracker box! The third time I buried them in the bottom of our bag and covered them with a towel, my cover up and lil Blue's clothes; he still tried to get at them. Finally, we folded up the blanket and laid it over the bag and put the beach umbrella over that and he left them alone. I am sure we were a sight as we tried to run out of the water to shoo him away!

Thoughts:

• Only three more radiation treatments!!
• Be careful with your crackers on the beach!
• I enjoy the beach but NOT the sand in my car.
• I am glad lil Blue is here, she's a great beach bum.
• There are golfer's from sun up to sun down in my backyard!

Thursday Thoughts...

WOW...

• I am glad to be in FLORIDA!
• It is good to be in my own home again.
• Seeing old friends always makes time fly!
• I am thrilled to be sleeping in my own bed!
• The weather in Florida is not always sunny...

It has been several days, internet was just not all that readily available and neither was time...we are now altogether in Florida and settling in. The house is h u g e! I am having a hard time getting everything in it's place, but it is slowing coming together, I feel the need to go shopping soon! It is sooooo good to be in our new home!

Marching in with her class

TODAY is THE day...

We will be reunited with MiB this day!!! yeah!!! I am so glad this day is finally here and we will be a family again. Though we still have several days of transistion and travel before we are under our own roof we will be together and that is what I am so thrilled for.

I am finishing the last of the sorting and cleaning and also going over the graduation celebration plans and getting the details taken care of for our incoming guests and that is helping the day to go by but since the arrival is late in the evening I feel like the day is dragging. Oh well, I am still being productive.

The next few days will be a blur but I am going to try and keep the updates rolling in especially with the graduation.
