I really do SUCK at this

Yeah, when I logged on today and found that I hadn't added a blog since April, I realized I hadn't done very well in the consistency department.

But! My lovely sister got me into this thing, and now I've got various friends who are starting to get into their thing, so I am making a RESOLUTION to do better (at least monthly? Wouldn't that be a good goal? I can already hear my sister snickering since she does one at least once a day...)

Be it known that I Am Resolved:

I am resolved no longer to linger,
Charmed by the world’s delight,
Things that are higher,
things that are nobler,
These have allured my sigh

You're asking what the hell...? And I agree

the Florida blog was really June's trip, so I am looking forward to a July blog Very Shortly.

Paradise in the United States

Living in Utah is both great and not-so-great. One of the not-so-great things is the hideous DRY climate, which shrivels up my skin to the point of 80 year old/prune appearance (Hate that) So, of course, I crave the humidity that so many other people complain about - Hawaii, Mexico and Florida are among my favorite places to travel. My skin feels so NORMAL, at least for the duration that I'm there.

But that's just a nice little side note - my love of Florida is mostly due to the fabulous warm beaches, the great restaurants, the people I meet, the intercoastal waterways, the mix of culture, and the KEYS.

The Jewel of Florida is Key West - it's such a great place . The event of the day is watching the Sunset, there are 80 plus bars which would take you all month to go through, Harry Truman lived here as President, Hemingway wrote here, and the attitude of "come as you are" makes you feel like you're accepted before you ever even open your mouth. Where else can you get a taxi from a really hot guy on a bike who'd be willing to drive the streets with 3 rather large girls in his little trailer?

Deep Thoughts

Many of you may remember this fabulous invention from Saturday Night Live - it had me in stitches for years. A friend of mine circulated this the other day, and it brought back several other Deep Thought memories. For now, I'll share:

Some people are like slinkies. They don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Another favorite of mine is:

If you find yourself falling out of a window of a tall building, act really stiff because people below will look up and think "Hey, free dummy".
