To be stuck in an office on a beautiful day like today BLOWS! Nice weather hits me like a mac truck. I was born in Florida, and in the heart of summer. I’m meant to be outside. The happiest job I’ve ever had was when I was working as a lifeguard at a private pool in Brookhighland. I got to work at 9, pool opened at 10, I worked 30 min shifts on the stand, 30 min at front gate, and 30 min off. I got a nice tan, read tons of books, and got to wear a swimsuit to work. Best. Job. Ever.

Its days like today I miss it so much. To spend all day every day in the sun is the dream.

This Friday I will be driving down to Orlando with Jeremy. His dad lives there. Then Saturday, we’ll drive to Miami for the festival Calle Ocho. I am looking forward to the good food, tasty drinks, and warm sun. I just hope I don’t blind people with my pale skin. Then, either Sunday or Monday, we’ll drive back to Orlando and just hang out. Then BIG St. Patty’s day celebration! Good God, I love being Irish. Green beer and Car bombs! I can’t wait!

I don’t think that this week could go by fast enough… sigh.

Mom update: we had lunch today. I could feel the tension but we are on the right track to becoming friends again.

Happy International Women’s day, Commonwealth Day, Adelaide Cup day, Eight Hours day, and Taranaki Anniversary!
