I do LOVE living in Florida! Today, I drove with the windows rolled down; my attire these past few days has been flip-flops and short-sleeves; and we actually have had the air conditioner turned on. I know! It's awesome!
The downfall has been that it doesn't really feel like we should be having Christmas NEXT WEEK. I have been looking for a Florida Christmas ornament - something tacky, but not tacky, like a palm tree with Christmas lights. Rob and I found a glass pelican that we bought to remind us of our time here. Gus loves to chase the pelicans at the beach - he thinks he can catch them!
There's not a lot of note to relate. Saturday, we went out with the other B-coursers (those are the other F-15 students). Sunday we had dinner with some great friends who are moving to Virginia soon - I'll miss you Emily!!! Those of you who get her at Langley are so lucky! Yesterday I made cupcakes and brought them to the squadron today - yum! Tomorrow I plan on wrapping presents. It's a nice life.
OH!! The concrete guy called me back and he is interested in working something out - I can volunteer there in exchange for learning how to make concrete countertops! I'm so excited!! I'm thinking this is a brilliant way to "get a job" - I get to learn about making concrete AND exercise my skills! And maybe one day, if I'm in one place long enough, I could actually get hired after they see how awesome I am. :-)
Tagged! Here is my response to Mari's tag post - thanks, Mari!
The Rules: Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Fact 1
I am a mythology nerd. In high school I was in the Latin Club (president my senior year) and we went to Latin competitions where I competed in mythology and Latin mottoes. I recently resolved to refresh my skills when I did not remember that Boreas was the name of the North Wind (thus the Auroras Borealis - Northern Lights).
Fact 2
I talk to Gus during the day. Yea, I talk to my dog. "So what do you want to do today, Gus? Go for a walk? Yep"... "No, this is my coffee. Trust me, you're not interested"... "Can you believe that woman actually wore that sweater on What Not to Wear? I know! That's so ugly."
Fact 3
My favorite book of the Bible is Genesis. I love that my powerful God created the world and knows and cares for every tiny being. Plus, that he had a plan for our salvation all the way from the Beginning!
Fact 4
I have a masters degree in marketing. It's cool.
Fact 5
My favorite movie of all time is Babe. "The pig movie?", you say. Yes. Not only is it simply delightful, it has wonderful themes about prejudice, change, and standing up in the face of opposition. It's so good!
Fact 6
I miss my cat, Chai. He is a Siamese short-hair - the best kind of cat you could ever have! Funny, entertaining, and awesome. I gave him up when I got married. I miss him. Louie, if you're reading this, thanks for giving Chai a great new home!
Fact 7
I love projects. Some of the latest: concrete table top, flowerbeds, tree trunk side tables, yoga mat bag crocheted from plastic grocery bags, and more! It keeps my problem-solving skills sharpened.

I love that you talk to Gus..b/c I talk to Mason all day long! I think it's the whole "I'm home alone all day thing." However, I am CONVINCED he understands almost everything I say :).
