we took chris's friend from out of town, dawn, and six of her friends out last night.. as usual, i suggested bahia cabana. hehe. the place has a lot of things going for it, namely that it is OUTSIDE, has MUSIC, and MORE THAN ONE thing on the menu that i like. also, we can BOAT THERE. :)
anyway, that makes NINE OF US on the boat. and no one had to stand! i was impressed! :)
i had THREE mojitos! three! i was gone, wheeeeee! such a lightweight. :) i was acting as bartender at the concert the other night, and finishing off luis's beers when i couldn't finish pouring the whole thing in the cup. literally, it was like two swigs, and i could FEEL IT. is that sad or what? so, yeah, three mojitos? chris kept warning me i would regret it today, but i was actually fine. no headache or nothing.
although i did regret something - i talked some poor girl's head off the ENTIRE WAY BACK. i get kinda chatty when i have been drinking. which is why chris told me to sit down, claiming that the boat's weight was off-balance. today he admitted that was, "well, partially true." :D
oh! chris is home! and i have a test! and photography to do! must go! :)
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!"
