we're in key west - yay! yeah, chris is covering the office here, which means a free (almost) long weekend here (LONG weekend for me; chris still has to work on friday here).
i applied for a job! and interviewed for it today! i've been on the fence about a job for a while, but truth be told i only have one online class and one night class (twice a week) and i'm getting kinda bored. also, some extra money would be nice. so i found one that sounded like it fit me and i am going for it. the best part is that it's just M-Th. wish me luck! i almost panicked when they called for an interview... being unemployed gets old, yes, but the thought of giving up all this free time is a little unnerving. but then i realized, yes, i really DO want to do this... so, let's hope they don't make all my interview-outfit-shopping be for naught. because that SUCKED.
i have a few things i'm going to write about in the coming weeks, but right now i'm tired and i gotta get up by 10 to have breakfast here. as byron pointed out, yeah, tough life - she has to get up by 10 a.m. in key west. :D
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!"
