Where I'm From

Where I’m From

November 8, 2012

I am from clothes hanging on the line outside, from Hellman’s mayo and great grandma’s sweet pickles.

I am from the hot, un-airconditioned SOUTH, playing in the sprinklers, getting a suntan on the boat or the back deck or the hand-dug pond in the back yard that is warmed with water that flows through a pipe that goes through a fire pit.

I am from the Aralias, Gerbera Daisies and the marijuana, the crinkly leaves, the stunning gem colors, and the curious cages.

I am from Ginnie Springs camping at Thanksgiving and Standing Rib Roast at Christmas.  I am from Great Grandma Wood and Great Grammie Glidden and across the Northeast US and across the pond.

I am from the alcoholism and deep stubbornness .

From “Don’t make that face or it’ll get frozen that way” and “Because I said so”.

I am from going to churches with friends and relatives and on special occasions. I am from Montessori School to Sunday School.

I'm from Florida, Germany and Scotland, Great grandpa’s refrigerator Velcro soup, Entenman’s doughnuts and fresh fish and lobster on demand.

From the time on the Peace River when it was “TOO DEEP”, the times the fire department was called to the house because of shenanigans that were too obvious to ignore, to cozy, fun, loving sleepovers at JoJo and Aunt Sandy’s houses.

I am from Great Grandma’s book of our genealogy, The Wood family wall in JoJo’s house, and the love that was never lacking.

You know, that thing where you are supposed to blog for every day in November.  I'm going to try that.  Pictures from instagram don't count either.  I'm already a day late, and more than a dollar short, so I'm going to cheat and back date this, because I just thought of it.  Don't hate ok, I'm trying here.

My wedding anniversary is November 1st.  I'd love to tell you about the beautiful flowers I received, or the copious amounts of candy I was showered with, or even the great meal I shared with my husband, but I can't because none of those things happened...

He did however get me an awesome card.  It has Snoopy on the front holding the little yellow dude, Woodstock is it? Anyway, they are hugging and are awfully cute and it says "I love you", and inside it says "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me!"  Awww!

We also didn't get to go on our annual anniversary trip to Vero Beach this year, but I'm already over that, so lets not rehash ok? OK.

We did go out to dinner last night, and the disappointment was fierce when we went to our favorite restaurant Squid Lips in Sebastian to find out that they closed early - we are talking 8:30 here people... they closed because they were dead.  WTF.  Three other cars were there when we were, they could have made a $150 bucks probably if they had stayed open a little later.  Too annoying.  Then we went to two other places and said no, and then we finally went to Captain Hiram's which we knew was going to be overpriced and not very good, and guess what!?  We weren't dissapointed, they were over priced and not very good!  We ordered the sticky fries which were good, the crab cakes which were good, the grouper fingers which totally sucked, and the seared ahi which sucked.  I did have two drinks that were good "Sebastian flamingos" or some name, and John had iced tea that was good.  The most important part was that we spent some much needed time together and we had fun.

Frustration

I'm so annoyed because I want to move all of my blogging stuff to one place. I still haven't found the best place yet. I'd like to think this is, but the fact that it won't

let me change the date on a post annoys the hell out of me.



I received my first Avon order today. There were like 4 people in the office that ordered. I'm only doing this cause I buy the stuff and it is convenient, plus cheaper for me.



I'm watching "In the womb" right now on national geographic. What an exceptional program.



Unfortunately, i also reminds me that I am 36 and still childless

Why is it...


That when someone tells me I can not or should not do something, I can think of doing nothing else but that.



Just to piss them off.



So thats how my day is going. How is yours?

I have like a billion things in my mind that I want to write about but I haven't found the time, so i'm making notes.



Today, I want to say that I've decided that I need to pull myself together and get some things in order. I need to do something different.



I cant seem to focus sometimes. A lot of the time. More of the time than I'd like to admit out loud.



This has got to stop.



I am one of those people who gets something in her head and goes with it... for the last two years it's been... not in a good way.



It is affecting a major part of my life now, and I have to get a grip on it.

We're going to dinner at The Shack tonight. We were supposed to have pulled pork sandwiches, but we both had crappy days, so we're going out.



I'm fine with that.

HBDTM

Happy Birthday to me.



My birthday celebration officially kicked off on Friday. I had flowers and cake and people at work sung HBD to me. It was wunnerful.



Friday night, we went out with a friend and checked out a new martini bar www.lexitapas.com . It was very cool inside and the martinis were fantastic. I had a few... One French martini and two Surfer Dude martinis. Then we went to On Tap Cafe where I proceeded to eat something and have a dirty martini with bombay sapphire.



Yesterday I had Mom, Dad, and the two miniatures from O-town; Miss Sweet Pea and the Huggy Kisser spend the night.



Today, Dad fixed breakfast for everyone with veggies from the garden omelets and lots of bacon! Mmmmm bacon.



Now Dad is taking the Huggy Kisser fishing and Mom and I are taking Miss Sweet Pea to visit Grammie Darling and then We're going to do my favorite thing... go shopping!!!



Tonight... dinner at Chart House with my very good friend!



Tra la la la.
