There should be a law....

Was there a comedian whose tag line was "There should be a law?"

Today my neighbor came over to show me her latest wii workout game. It's one where you pretend you're walking on an island while it tracks how many steps you've taken and how many calories you've burned. While you're walking you earn points that you can use to "unlock" things like park benches, street lights and palm trees to "decorate" your island.

Well, here's how part of that conversation went...

Me: You realize we live on Miami Beach, right?
Her: Yes.
Me: (taking her hand and walking her to the window) What do you see out there?
Her: What are you talking about?
Me: That's water and that flat gray stuff by it is called a sidewalk and people WALK on it. Now, if you don't want to walk by the bay, you can go eleven blocks in that direction (pointing behind us) or ten blocks in that direction (pointing beside us) and you're at the Atlantic Ocean. You can use the sidewalk or the boardwalk or even walk in the sand. And...you'll see lots of hot young guys with their shirts off!
Her: (laughing) Quit making fun of me! I can use this when it rains or when it's just too hot to go outside.

I had to admit that she had a point about the rain and the heat in the summer and she had to admit that I had a point about the hot guys with their shirts off. I still say there should be a law...lol!

Sick Days?

Earlier today one of my friends caught up with me and asked if I wanted to go to lunch. Well, of course I did! LOL! We walked down to the 8oz Burger Bar and of course ordered burgers. YUMMY!

After we got there my friend asked if I have ever called into work sick just because I didn't feel like going. Well, I pointed out that of course I had because everyone knows I hate wasting sick days being sick. He said that he had done it three times this week. I had to laugh when I pointed out that today was Thursday and that Monday had been a holiday. He asked me what my point was. LOL!

Back to normal

OK, things around here are back to normal. I'm over my bout of sadness and self-pity, What If Guy has gone home, Orange Croc Guy has gone back to trying to reclaim the high score on his wii games and Dwyane Wade is staying with the Miami Heat.

This morning I made pancakes all by myself. LOL! I bought the mix in the yellow container that you add water to and shake. Mine weren't like the ones you get at the Waffle House. Mine were crunchy. Have you ever had crunchy pancakes? They were....uummm....interesting. Gross, but interesting. LOL!

Tonight I was on my own for dinner, so I ended the 27 day dry spell and ordered fajitas! And, yes, I have been counting the days since I last saw the cute delivery guy. Other delivery guys visit me on a regular basis, but it just isn't the same. LOL!

The cute delivery guy didn't pose himself in a cheesy way this time, but his smile was just as big. When he didn't hear any comments from the peanut gallery the cute delivery guy asked if I was by myself. I very quickly let him know that I had kicked my friends out so I could have some peace and quiet. He laughed. Apparently, he still remembers what happened the last time we ordered fajitas. LOL!

I'm going to get some sleep now. Enjoy your day!

FlowerScraps is releasing the cutest kit today called Eileen. It's based on her oldest daughter's favorite color. This is a beautiful super girly kit. Take a look at the preview...



The first layout I made was inspired by my friend Lisa on a day that she was not happy with her hair. LOL!



This second layout has pictures of one of my high school volunteers. Pink is so not her favorite color, but she's a pretty girl and I wanted to make a layout for her.



Head over to FlowerScraps Blog for more layout inspiration then visit the FlowerScraps store at Stuff to Scrap to pick up this wonderful kit.

What happens when...

Download wordart here

What happens when your "What If Guy" meets your "Current Guy"?----You start thinking that you need a "New Guy". LOL!

One guy talks about the things you have done while the other talks about the things you will do. One guy says, "I want to be there when...". The other says, "I was there when...". One guy reminds you of the person you were and the other guy reminds you of the person you are. One guy likes your eyes and the other likes your smile.

Both guy are amazing. Both laugh at your stupid jokes and you laugh at all of theirs. Both guys remind you of who you can be. Both guys mean more to you then they will ever know.

It's the Fourth of July and when the sun goes down I will sit by the water with two of the three most amazing men I have ever met. We will all watch the fireworks over the Miami skyline which is one of my most favorite things to do.

I should be happy, but I'm sad. I'm sad because neither one of these guys is The Guy. The only thing my heart really wants is the one guy who is no longer here.

It's been 5 years since I've watched the Fourth of July fireworks with Charlie. 5 years! I finally understand why my mother didn't remarry until 20 years after my father passed away.
