i just really can't drink anymore. i had three drinks last night.. three. THREE. and i have basically felt like hell all day. well, i'm also having horrendous cramps, which doesn't help, but i'm definitely hung-over. from three drinks. well, and some champagne.
i can't even figure it out... i mean, i do realize that this bartender makes stiff drinks. but c'mon now... THREE DRINKS!?
we were both so tired last night. we actually went back and forth on just staying in, but dean's girl was outta town -- so he needed company -- and, well, chris's mom was IN town. this necessitated getting out of the the house. it was nice just going to the local place, though.. a walk there, a walk home..
chris's parents left today. it's real good to have the house back to ourselves. we've remarked upon this a dozen times today. his mom is apparently mad at me for talking back to her the other day - ha ha. she's a real peach.
i've done NOTHING today. nada. but ah well, i guess that's what days off are for...
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!"
