Chris & I been dating for two years as of this past Monday! Time flies! I've been taking pictures the past couple of days of my liles & roses and just LOVE THEM. They're good in person, too - the whole kitchen smells of the stargazers. I think I should start buying flowers every week so I have something this pretty to photograph.
I leave for Wisconsin tomorrow, for 10 days. I'm mildly freaking out. I am going to miss the dogs so so bad, Maggie particularly because she's my shadow and I don't know what she'll do without me to follow around the house. And I was all sad before Chris left a couple of weeks ago to go to Houston for two days, so imagine what I'll be feeling like after more than a week gone from home!!!
Alright, it's time to go pack now. I've been putting it off ALL DAY but there comes a point... I'm using our scuba backpack since it is the roomiest thing we have. :)
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!"
