Good thing I have a Cactus because this is the First Time I've Watered it in 3 Months...

Ok,
So I keep trying to be good about keeping this up to date and it is not working, so I guess for now I am going to let myself be content with the fact that once in a while I will reveal details about the past however long in my life, whatever I feel like sharing. In a way, I feel like this is sort of becoming my online diary,..Buuuut a lot of people can read it, so I won't necessarily be speaking on my innermost and deepest thoughts necessarily...unless I don't care that everyone know about it! But whatever, I mean, I am who I am and if you don't like it or don't approve, then you don't need to be involved in my life so ... yeah. :)  If you can roll with the punches and laugh at the humor in it then so be it, and I encourage you to follow me from time to time. If not, then I would hope you decide to spend your time on things that are more important than MY life!! lol. This is said in humore, feel free to take with a grain of salt...except the last line which is as straight forward as I can be!

Random Cool-Ness

I went Lobstering with Chels. Then we had a lobster dinner!!

Fishing w Kylie, Will, and Chels...caught Red Mangrove Snapper, and a Nurse Shark. He cut the line but it was worth the fight and a neat story. Also, he was 4' long...and seriously I am not exaggerating. You can ask anyone who was there with me!

I played the best game of Up the River Down the River/ F the Dealer that I have ever in my life a few nights ago w Chris and Mike. Also I learned the game Horserace.

I caught up with Miss Erica and (haha, suprise suprise) had my first really long phone convo in quite some time..aka a few hours!! (Go us!!)

My festival was postponed due to the Hurricane Irene scare, and as it played out, missed us here in the south and hit Jersey and parts of North Carolina.  So, they rescheduled it and I am super stoked that I am going!!

Year #3 that I am trying to go to Fantasy fest. I'm saying that nothing is written in stone because it seems whenever I write something in pen in my planner, it never seems to happen. So, I've leaned and become acustom to that so I have been resorting back to the trusty #9 lately.

I haven't lost my lucky penny yet!!

I bought a sweet little black dress and I'm excited to wear it!

I have been asked to be in 3 weddings next year!!


I am sick of red ants and think southern Florida would benefit immensely if those along with mosquitos did not exist. Floridian Mosquitos are to New york Noseums as FL Summer Humidity is to NY Bone Chilling Temperatures.

My spanish has improved.

My yoga skills have improved a lot this summer.

I still have random dance parties anywhere :)

I am super excited to see my family and friends.. TOMORROW... and can't believe that it's been 9 months since I last stepped foot there. Impressive!

(On that note, I am off to bed).

Nick's Visit

Nick came down to visit me (WooHoo!!). The first night we did Miami, and the next day we went to Shore Club and got hooked up with chairs and umbrellas on the beach.  It was soooo hot, within 2 minutes of getting out of the car we were already drenched : / But the beach was so nice.  We went to get in the water and everyone was standing on the edge. I didn't realize why, until after I got in and realized I got stung 3 times by Jellyfish!! Ahhh. Stunk.

After that, we walked around South Beach area and did some shopping, got Tattoos, took pictures, ate custard and saw some crazy statue people! Shake Shack, realllly good burgers, met up with Natasha too.

Up all night, pool, hot tub, pizza, etc.

Day 2- Keys Day

Accidentally slept in too late to do Key West so we did stuff around the area...

___________________________________________________________________________________

Day 3- Key West!!

We drove down to Key West, and didn't make very many stops on the way down due to the fact that we did some keys stuff the day before.  Key West, on the way down there were a few heavy patches of rain but when we arrived, we found a parking lot and parked for the day.  The weather was beautiful, and we did a lot of Duval Street.  Lunch was delicious at Hog's Breath Saloon, and lots of street fair type shops.  We walked around the town and saw some sweet houses, did the most southern point in the Us, with the traditional photo opp there. Also, Mile marker zero and more keys shops. 
___________________________________________________________________________________

Night 4- Back to Miami!! Dinner on Lincoln, a nice place that mixed Italian and Greek.  Hung out until 2:30...long story short we found a hotel for the night and then the next day (unfortunately) Nick was back venturing to NY.

Spontaneous Keys Day

Today both Kylie and I (ORC) had the day off so we decided to venture down the isles to Islamorada and venture through Theater of the Sea today. We did the open bottom boat ride with dolphins that came up in the center and alongside the boat.  Also, we saw a parrot show and a dolphin show. I got to volunteer for the dolphin show and get a kiss from one! We saw a variety of animals there, such as a sea lion named Wilbur, a number of dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, parrotfish, parrots and exotic birds, nurse sharks, and iguanas. 

We went to Robbie's and fed the huge tarpon (and when I say huge, I mean like 4-5 feet). We layed on the dock belly down and the fish jumped up and grabbed the fish out of our hands! The man working said the past weekend they were so busy they went through 2,000 pounds of feeder fish!! I bought a bracelet and a sweet hair clip at Robbie's (they have a little artisan village there).


We also did some beach pulloffs (I believe one was by Indian Key) and got some sweet photos!  We swam in the crystal blue waters and we even think we saw a shark (fin in the water)! Which led to our finale...SHARK WEEK!!!

A great day, led to a great night...flight is booked for my vacation. The fastest flight I have ever booked, I searched about 5 minutes, picked one and bought it on the spot. 36 days!! Woohoo!

Lots to look forwards to...Nick is coming the 16th, then Identity Fest is the week after, then just about a week or so afterwards I go on vaca! Great way to begin August!

Words of Wisdom

It's more the people you are surrounded with though, remember that! Surround yourself with a beautiful place but not beautiful spirited people and the most amazing place will get old fast and even the most beautiful place will loose its value/ appeal.
: )
 
 The more I live, the more I realize I'm a free bird...I don't know if I really want to settle in one place forever. There is too much to see and do, people to meet, things to experience. I want to do it all.

Tribute to Kylie Miller

Tribute to Miss Kylie Miller on her Bday!! (Don't worry, she's still alive) I realize sometimes 'tribute' when stuck in there sometimes makes people think that something bad happened. No, just the opposite! Kylie's parents decided to have some fun and make a baby, which turns out to be one of the greatest people I have ever met! :)

Miss Kylie,
you are the most amazing friend and I love you to death. I want you in my life forever and I plan on always calling you to sing you songs and tell u everything random because that is what I do, and we will celebrate for sure next time I see you! You are so thoughtful, caring, a great listener and advice giver (made up term, yes). (I guess a wise consultant may be a good term, haha. But as you know, you are way more than a consultant.).....Beautiful, Fun, crazy, chill, cool and collected, knows how to get down!, rockstar dance party buddy, a hard worker, sincere and genuine, the best massuse in NY...maybe in the US or maybe the world...reach for the stars girl!

I am wishing you have the most amazing year this year and that the stars align in your favor! Go with the flow and it will all work out! : ) You're the best and I love love LOVE LoVe You My dear!

<3

Dance central

Hung out at CJ's and the Chill this weekend, Also went dancing..fun crazy night. I love that things are open until all hours of the night here! I definitely danced probably like 4 hours straight! I needed it though :) Woke up the next morning with a flyer for a Columbian Independance Day Celebration...haha/ I;ll have to see about my schedule for that!

I'm really excited- next weekend Kara and her friends are coming down! Girls on the loose (haha). "Ballin on a budget" sounds perfect! I worked at camp today, and it was quite funny- Nicole got me, with "Hey Stephanie, I got a lizard, look.." I was so excited, then I saw it was a crazy creepy crawly centipede type thing- blue and orange or something. Holy crap, I screamed and was pushing through people to get it away from me! haha I didn't think I would be that scared of a bug ever. I was assuming it was poisionous though because of the color. It was so funny (after the fact)..maybe it doesn't sound that funny, but you can ask anyone who was there :)

My mini-me was there today, and we played on a slip and slide, played in the rainshower (wierd how it randomly came down so hard but sun was out most of the time...love those!).  Went to Amy's class tonite too, then caught up with some people.

My computer decided to delete all my music on me, so I have been working on trying to put my cds on so I have something to listen to again. Sad, I even tried to restore it...I will have to try and mess w my external hard drive to try and put any saved on there back on at some point soon.
