We all met up at this Peruvian place in Miami that Luis & Alli like. Alli has a million places to eat within walking distance of her apartment, so I was confused as to why she picked this out-of-the-way place with crumbs in the menu, but it turned out to be really good.
Chris was a dear and, although he had been up on and off since 5 a.m., came too. He ended up falling asleep at the table in the restaurant, and since I was tired too, we called it an early night (by early I mean midnight). It turned out everyone else was pretty tired, too, so I guess I didn't miss too much of a benda as the Massholes like to say.
I got to give Alli her waterproof MP3 player and see the Hoes & everyone else, so it was a great night. :)
Anyway, here's a pic of these sweet folks in the bed of Chris's pickup. We gave them a ride to Manny's car. Yes, Manny did not Manny out, for a change!!! Alli said she felt honored he showed up, as well she should!
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!"
