Happy July IWSG!
I love all the wildlife sightings and hearings (the frogs & birds are awesome!)pelican in the ocean - I hope I don't see any alligators up close while walking my dogs!
- I'm learning how to slow down
- I have to since the elderly choose their own speeds in every lane... haha
- I actually enjoyed my first visit to the beach by myself - people watching is primo!
- The second time, I went with my son and felt bad we had to leave early because the rising humidity literally took my breath away
- I'm lucky my blood type/skin type discourages bug bites
- Unfortunately, my poor husband is a magnet for them
- I'm taking time to walk the dogs every night (w/hubs too!) and exercise/stretch every morning--trying to be a healthier me
- I forgot about some of the negatives that are popping up--heat rash, dry eyes from the constant fans, and warm faucet water (it never gets cold!)
- I love how laid back it is here--I've gotten creative with many of my clothes by cutting off sleeves and long pants. Plus getting ready is easier with light make-up and easy beach hair days!
- I hate shaving =P
- I don't mind the unpredictable weather--rainy-sunny-stormy-sunny--we take our chances since the rain doesn't usually last long, and the temps have been milder than most of the rest of the country! Plus, so many pretty rainbows =)
- Wondering if I am cursed as a lightning strike exploded the street light in front of our house, and we had a leak in the guest bedroom (brand new house!!) -- all while we were out to a sunny dinner at the time!
- We are really enjoying all the fun, non-chain restaurants
- Everything is way more expensive in Florida!
Overall, it's going pretty well. We're figuring out what works or what we need to do to make things work for us. I've also done some writing and visited the local downtown with a nice little bookstore. My next writing goal is to finish one of my books and have a book party with our new friends!
Hope you are surviving the fierce temps and have a
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
