gotta love florida

it was 74 today. yep, 74 in January.

#19 won't miss

i won't won't won't miss I-4! it's the main interstate through central Florida. i know people who say it's the equivalent of a nascar race without the winning money at the end. between the tourists lost and locals going 80 mph, it's just a joy of a drive. i can get most anywhere without getting on it. i'd rather pay a toll.

#21 will miss

Hurricanes!!!!

i know some of you are saying "will miss? is she nuts?" hear me out on this. it's an amazing storm. 99% of the time you have ample time to know to get out of the way. (let's face it, they don't sneak up on places). choice surfing conditions. after a certain amount, you get to the point of realizing they aren't scary. you respect them.

saturday 3s

a few things i will miss about Florida.
~my sister. she lives 7 hrs away. but, it's my closest relative. we're pretty close even with the distance.
~watching the sunrise at the beach. just gorgeous.
~the smell of orange blossoms.

a few things i won't miss.
~right turn from left turn lane across 4 lanes of traffic.
~the whole "right to work" state deal. it's basically you can be fired and someone else will gt your job for  way lesspay. just with a different title.
~high sales tax. nuff said.

a few things i learned from my mother

1. weird is OK as long as it's natural.
2. your idea of perfect and my idea of perfect are totally different. yet, work together just fine.
3. you're only as old as you can believably lie about.
4. traveling is good for you.
5. how to tell someone to go to hell with cursing.
