Again, I fall back on my Flickr faves as I 1) haven't taken any pictures lately, and 2) don't have much time to post.
I'm doing a night dive with Matt tonight! I hope the weather holds up. Alex was supposed to come but lost a $200 key.
Fluffy's taking his first trip to the doctor on Saturday. Funny thing is, I'm a little excited at showing off what a good cat he is to someone that may appreciate it. :D
I just signed up for two classes at BCC that may or may not fit my schedule by the time August comes around. Ah, the uncertainty, such fun! Speech and Oceanography. Speech because it's required, not because I enjoy it. Because I don't.
July 4th is just around the corner. That means I should be in the Bahamas. Bah. Ah well, I'm sure I'll manage to have fun and get too much sun anyhow.
So anyway, back to my original point here: Look, it's a dog in a sweater and, like, hair.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
