One day I'm going to move to Florida and go to the beach every day...

So... I was half right.

I've been thinking alot lately about how I used to love the beach. And how since moving to Florida I have lost that part of myself. We now live about 9 miles from the beach and do you know how long it's been since we went there? Neither do I.

Going to the beach used to be the highlight of my entire year. I only got to do it once a year, and sometimes it wasn't even every year.

I remember stopping to take pictures when we got down south enough to see a palm tree, and how excited we were to finally see signs for Gulf beaches.

Now I see palm trees all the time, they are everywhere... and I rarely notice.

I remember dreaming of moving to Gulf Shores or Panama City Beach and working in a gift shop, selling souvenirs to tourists... spending every spare moment at the beach.

Now here I am in Miami, and real life has taken over my dream.

Well that is about to change... I told Tom I want to start going to the beach again... very soon, I want to get that part of me back... I want to be the girl that thought the beach was a very special thing. I want to build sandcastles and look for shells and all that stuff. :)

Coffee time again...

I made it through another week at work and am doing my Friday thing... having coffee at Pasion del Cielo in The Gables... such a great place to relax and enjoy a good coffee. Not as noisy as Starbucks because it's tucked away on a side street...

We watched Alice in Wonderland last night and I really enjoyed it. I love Tim Burton's movies... they are always so unusual.

3 more weeks 'til my B'day trip... can't wait to see my old friends Spiderman, Hulk and the dragons again... wondering if the Harry Potter thing is going to increase lines on Dueling Dragons... and everywhere else in the park too.

Lazy Saturday...

I'm sitting here at Pasion del Cielo Coffee in the Gables, sipping on a coffee frappe and trying to think of something to blog about.

I see I forgot to update since we were sitting at Space View Park waiting for the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Well... they launched, completed their mission and landed back at KSC this past Wednesday morning. Someone posted a picture on fb of the shuttle flying by the KSC Visitor's Complex on it's way to land... that would have been really cool to see!

4 weeks from today I will be celebrating my birthday at Universal Studios in Orlando. Hope the weather is nice the 2 days I am there. Earth Wind and Fire is playing there that night... if I'm not too tired I might actually stick around for the show.

Can't believe my weekend is almost over already... NOT ready to go back to work tomorrow...

STS-132 Atlantis

We're in Titusville again... this time to see space shuttle Atlantis launch on it's mission to the ISS.

There are currently low clouds in the area, and weather is at 70% "go" for launch.

Space Shuttle Atlantis

We're getting ready for another trip to KSC to see the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on May 14th.

Hope everything goes as planned and we get our daytime launch.

Stay tuned... (though I hardly ever remember to update this thing)

Happy New Phone Day

Just checking out what I can do with my new G1...

Searching for...

a backpack for my netbook while I wait for lunch at Denny's.

I can't find one local so I guess I'm going to have to order one online. I hate not being able to just go into a store and pick one up... you would think that would be pretty easy to do living in Miami but I find that more and more often I have to send away for things.

Best Buy: no
Target: no
Staples: no
Radio Shack: no

Going to check Office Depot and Office Max next.

Ok... it's official... I am not a blogger.

If I haven't added anything to this blog since July then I guess I have nothing to say... ever... about anything.

Though mostly I guess it's because when I DO have something to say I say it on facebook...

So let's blame facebook. It is facebook's fault that I am not a blogger.

:-P
