(So sleepy today! Mondays after vacation are the worst) Tuesday After another long day of work, Carina drove over from Orlando. Her college friend, Devlin, also in town for the evening, stopped by as well. They both ended up joining me and my parents for dinner! My mom grilled some incredible chicken that had us … More Day 184: Cool Breeze, Cool Friends
Is it already Monday?? Where has the time gone. It seems like so much happened this weekend. Until I actually review what I did and realize it was not much at all. What was I doing? Sleeping? Probably eating. And lots of reading. What was I reading? Don’t laugh… but I finished Fifty Shades of … More Day 180: Scenes at Dusk and Rock Hard Abs
The sun is out! The sky is blue! It is a welcome sight. I almost forgot what the sun looked like. Though I probably should get used to that. Shanghai is not the sunniest place in the world…. With the sunshine came dry streets and the ability to actually drive to work Wednesday. It was … More Day 178: Welcome Back Sunshine
The sun is out! The streets are (almost) dry!! Unfortunately this meant that I actually had to go in to work today ;-), but it is nice to get out of the house. Tuesday Yesterday was still very wet and tide still very high so we decided to stay close to home again. Cabin fever … More Day 177: Stuck at Home
So if you pay attention to the news you probably know that Tropical Storm Debby has been battering Florida for several days now. In fact, my family has been stuck at home for 3 days on account of extreme flooding. We live on Snell Isle, a man-made island in St. Petersburg that usually fares well … More Day 175: Fording the River [and Failing]
Yesterday I worked hard. I moved boxes, organized party favors, directed storage and organization of gifts, and sweated more than I thought was possible. And this was all between 2-5pm. Then the real party started. My dad was on the host committee for a Welcome to St. Pete party in a penthouse downtown. The party … More Day 172: Let’s get this party started
Monday Musings What do you do when you’re feeling blue? When you eat 10 cookies after listening to nutrition classes? When your wonderful boyfriend has no cellphone? When your wonderful boyfriend finally shows up on your front step 2 hours after you get home? When you are jealous of your dad for working out in … More Day 169: [Monday Musings] What do you do?
Happy Father’s Day! Yeah I’m a tad late. But we did celebrate on Sunday with my dad. Peter’s dad was out of town so he celebrated with my family instead. My dad loves boating so we treated him to lunch at Fish Tails then hung out at sandbar! Here’s Peter and I waiting to be … More Day 168: Boats, Dads, and Cookies
What a wonderful weekend! I am definitely not ready for this work week. With Peter in town, I am anxious for the day to pass quickly so we can enjoy the evenings together. But working in New Port Richey Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday means I am gone from 7am to 6:30 or 7pm. I hate … More Day 167: That time I ate dead bugs
So this is what stressed feels like. This is what getting things accomplished feels like. This is what happiness feels like. And this is what stressed, accomplished, and happy feels like all at once. This is my psychotic dog who begs to be taken outside every 5 minutes. Thankfully, the beautiful scenery and warm sea … More Day 165: This is what it feels like
