I Am Here. I know it has been too long since I've written an entry, and I sincerely apologize to my readers...if I still have any, but I am still here. This time I really don't even have the excuse that nothing is going on...my only defense is that I've been working alot, and am too tired and hot to sit at the computer when I get home. Today, however, I had the day off since I was supposed to go out of town so I am able to still be awake at 11:51PM. So without further ado about nothing...
I did, as many of you know, make it to Florida a couple of weeks ago. The trip was fantastic! I got to spend time with many of my wonderful friends, and even got to spend some time with family in Cocoa. When I'm at home, I so often just miss hanging out and talking with friends, so it was really refreshing to see everyone. I especially enjoyed the "Girl's Outing" which I found to be not only fun but therapeutic as well. Thank you Z for putting up with me for an entire week, and even welcoming me into your family's home. It was a great week, and I started missing you as soon as you dropped from sight in my rear-view mirror! I'm sorry, Rob, that we didn't get a chance to get together...we'll have to make up for that next time!
Things here have been going pretty well. I have, as I said earlier, been working a lot. My sister has been getting really busy in school, so I've had to work many of her shifts in addition to mine which makes for a 7:30AM-6:45PM day! The money has been good, but with temperatures often in the high nineties, it's been pretty rough. I have, however, been spending more and more time with José. We talk every morning at the Farmer's Market, and then he often comes over to my stand at lunch time, and then comes over after he gets off too if I'm working late. We also have been talking on the phone alot. I still have serious doubts that he will be "the one" but he has many great qualities that are at least for now very compelling. He is nice, funny, and thoughtful, and I might add, a talented kisser. Who knows how long it will last, but for now, it's fun, and I enjoy talking to him everyday. He even came over to my house last Sunday(our only day off). It was a bit awkward at first having him meet my family, but after a while it got easier and after watching the end of Apollo 13, playing several games of badminton, and a couple hours of talking on the porch, I would say the visit was a success. He even brought some boiled peanuts that I had joked about a few days earlier saying they would impress my Dad.
Tomorrow I leave for West Virginia. We are headed to the Butcher Family Reunion in Huntington (Go Herd!). I will be coming back on Sunday. I really look forward to seeing Mamma...I haven't seen her since November when she moved there. I'm also looking forward to a relaxing weekend, and the pool at our hotel! I'll be sure to write all about it when I return...honestly, I'll try ;-)
My Mom got me the neatest thing the other day. It is "The Men in Uniform" calander featuring none other than The Alachua County Sheriff's Office and The Gainesville Police Department! It is the most random and cool thing I've gotten in a long time. Anyone that knows me well, knows I love men in uniform anyway...and Mom happened to be watching Regis and Kelly the other day (a show she never watches) and Regis was talking about this calender being sold by the ASO and the GPD. She thought I'd get a kick out of it, and portions of the proceeds go to support Reichert House and The Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranch. I think it's a great idea and recommend you check it out! I've added it as a link on the blog.
I hate it when I go long periods without writing, because then I feel that I need to do alot of catching up, so the entry becomes more dry and news-like and loses alot of its flow and wit. I felt that especially with this entry, so I apologize...
