South Beach

Posted on Friday March 30th, 2007 by | Comments Off on South Beach

****Long post, with lots of pictures. =)

We are here in Miami for business. We are staying at the Pelican Hotel. It is on South Beach…..we can now officially say that we have been here during spring break……lol It is a really unique hotel with the different themed rooms. But if you ever stay here, they are very small. The hotels down here have been here for years, so unless they have been stripped out and redone, they have worked with what they had.

We got the Psychedelic (ate) Girl Room

Ironically, my nails match the wall………..grin

This fan is very “industrial” sounding when going. In other words, you really don’t want to use it unless extremely necessary………..grin

OMG! This shower head is to die for! It just pours down on you like a hot water fall. And it does heat up hot and quickly. I love it, even though I feel totally guilty on an environmental stand point, especially living in Florida with the Everglades.

South Beach is something else. So many artificial folks with either too much money on their hands or too worried about making appearances. Yes, you see some nice looking folks, but it just so entertaining on the “show”. Folks seem to just like to walk the sidewalk, looking their “best” in their designer outfits and sunglasses, wanting to be seen and noticed but at the same time looking so nonchalant about it. It is kind of humorous. I guess it is fitting since the Verasci mansion is only 2 blocks down the road. =)

Most of the hotels have their restaurants with outdoor options. I love it when it is this gorgeous out.

View from the table. The gorgeous beach it just across the road past the dunes. I love the fact that the hotels are not ON the beach….that is just so environmentally wrong, plus much hard for the public to enjoy them.

There are beautiful artful hogs parked up and down the street. I would love to have one, if they weren’t so damn loud.

Some of the hotels/restaurants have the menus posted on the sidewalk (which I love for deciding where to eat) and sample dishes but some also have classic cars out front to attract attention.

I am enjoying hearing all the different accents and languages. I guess I’m not like most Americans, I enjoy it. If I get the opportunity I will try and start a conversion about their culture, since I love to learn about different people.

The drive down wasn’t too bad. Took long for my Dramamine to hit, so I didn’t get as much work done as I wanted. But it was nice having the sprint pci card for internet. These are addicting to have. =)

We hooked up with some good friends Tom and Seska, who we have known for years. It was great to be able to hang with folks that we can talk to and play catch up.

I’m getting anxious about my online job store. I see so much potential but don’t have the time to really dig into it. It doesn’t help that I’m waiting on the bank to set some things up. I think that is so annoying. I feel like my hands are tied. We are in the process of setting it up where I’m totally independently running it, but are waiting on paperwork……….icks. I really don’t see me sticking around at my day job in the same role that I am in for much long. Just for the simple fact that I have way too much to do here and want it to succeed even further then I think it can. But that is the goal of this job, so I can work full time for them. =) For now I guess I can show Harold some of the things I do to help out. =)

I’m Losing It

Posted on Wednesday March 28th, 2007 by | Comments Off on I’m Losing It

Alright, I’m totally stressing about everything…….time wise.

I’ve been working my butt off since Saturday, my day off Friday was spent running around. Before and after work I have been taking care of the online job I’m doing. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to add things to it like we need to.

I also had to pack and get ready for this weekend……

I really need to answer my messages and things like that.

Then I’m stressing at the book store. Since I’m taking an extra day off this week, it is one day less for me to get things done. Plus we have our DM coming in for our quarterly “report card” Friday (and I’m not there), so I really wanted to make a dent in the store so we get a good score……uuurrrgggg

I do have the next 4 days off, but that it is a working and networking weekend. The good thing is that I will get some down time to chill with some of our great friends from the Pacific North West. =)

We do have a 3-4 hr drive down and Harold went out and got our wireless internet cards. So (fingers crossed, car sick wise) I should be able to get some actual work done.

I am proud that I made sure to call Charles on the 23rd and mom today to wish them happy birthdays. I just need to remember to call Heather this Saturday for hers. =) I can’t wait to see them next month.

I better head to bed……it is going to be a long day tomorrow……….drive wise.

Tired…

Posted on Sunday March 25th, 2007 by | Comments Off on Tired…

It has been a long day. I had to go into work really early, the good thing is that I get out of work a lot earlier. So I actually get to enjoy some sunlight.

Except for being died tired, it hasn’t been too bad of a day. I got a lot of work done at work and a few things here. So that was good.

I have a ton of stuff that I need to get done both at work and here at home before next weekend. Plus I’m looking for time to really try out my new skates. =) Just not enough time or days in a week. I just need more days off. I would love that.

Sometimes I watch the news and get pissed at the state of things. Then I have a post all built up, but by the end of the evening when I’m writing by brain is just so tired.

We are suppose to have an appointment with the insurance agent tomorrow, but I’m going to have to cancel. There is just way too much to do this week. I’ll have to reschedule for next week.

I think it is time to chill.

I actually got some work done last night. So I was pleased with that.  I still have a lot more to do.
I’ve been trying to figure out how I’m going to get things done this week before we leave for next weekend.  Some how I need to get my nails done, see the insurance agent, pack…………icks….on that note, what color should I do my nails in?  Blue, different shade of purple……….reds???  I also need to stay up with the store.

I was totally unmotivated today at work.  I did get some work done, but it wasn’t as productive as it should have been.

I did come home to my new skates!  Alright!  That was cool.  I had to try them on.  They fit so well and it felt like old times, except it was a little scarier since I was out of practice.  Now I need to find time to be able to use them……gggrrr

I have an extremely early day tomorrow.  So I’m going to head to bed.  =)

I hope you all had a good Saturday.
