Big Sigh

Ah, Miami was heaven. I saw so many curvy ladies on the beach, it was fantastic. I don't think a day went by that we didn't see a topless (or bottomless) lady on the beach. They are very open there.

We never realized that South Beach had such beautiful architecture. It was all art deco & they've restored a lot of their original buildings. We went to the Wolfsonian Museum & that was a blast. They had an exhibit on war propaganda posters.

I got back on the 18th & Mandy flew in on the 19th. We did a lot of dancing & shopping. She left yesterday & I'm exhausted! I've got a sore throat & I've realized that I'm a homebody. I wasn't really all that in to going out to bars & drinking all night long.

I've never been a big drinker, but now I rarely drink at all. I think Mandy was a little bored at times. We're only a year apart, but she's up for a party 24/7. Of course, it was her 30th birthday & she works nights as a nurse. Plus, she's single now & looking at all the dudes here. We have such different taste in guys.

It was fun to have my best girl with me, but I'm exhausted now & ready to couch sit & rest. Whew!

I'll be in Arkansas March 5th-17th to help my dad. We'll be pretty busy, but I'm hoping I can get up to Fayetteville to see some friendly faces at some point.

Traveling

I just found out that Andy's taking me to Miami with him on his work trip. We're going to go a few days early & check out Miami. It's not somewhere we'd go on our own, but we both could use the sun.

It snowed last night, but it's actually quite sunny out. I talked to my dad & we decided that I would come to Arkansas for a few weeks next month so I could help him get my grandmother's house ready to rent or sale. I don't like the idea of him renting because it's a hassle he probably doesn't want to deal with. But, selling in this market will be too difficult.

Adulthood can really become tedious at times. I wish I would've reveled in childhood a bit more. I think I was a rather serious kid, now I feel like I've regressed.

It will be good to spend time with Dad. He's still sad about losing Helen, but I know that he is enjoying his free time & being able to do whatever whenever.
