Let’s Go on An Adventure!

I really hope that I don’t have to start every blog post with an apology for being so lazy on the blog.  BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN!  Sorry for being lazy on the blogging front. I love blogging, but I also have to work (still haven’t won the lottery yet dang it!)…Oh, and I am also watching the entire 2nd season of “Orange is the New Black”….PRIORITIES people!  I also have been super into reading lately and went a little cray cray on Amazon, so I weeped my way through “A Fault in Our Stars”.  Life has been so crazy and busy these past few weeks too…work, Spurs Championship viewing with my crazy superfan mother, and a sick dog!  But, hey, like my homegirl Hellen Keller once said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”  AM I RIGHT?

So yeah, Monday through Friday, I am super busy with work.  For those of you that don’t know what I do, I am an HR Consultant/Recruiter working for a company out of San Antonio that recruits for healthcare organizations across Texas and Florida.  I mainly recruit doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals. BLAH BLAH BLAH…lol not to bore you all.  But working as a recruiter does make for lots of funny stories…typically about what NOT to do when trying to get a job (like the guy that asked me in an interview if there were any groups of people or individuals to stay away from in the cafeteria? WHAT?  I think he was asking if we had gangs, but I’m not sure!).  I think I’ll write a blog post on all those crazy stories someday.  Let me just say that there are some crazy, dumb people out there.

My life in a nutshell.

We also had a hard time when Shelby (the princess pup) got sick AGAIN.  She spent a really fun day pooping her pants (fur?)..it was a grand time.  I have no idea how she keeps getting this bacteria that according to the vet is only found in dead, rotting animals. UM HELLO?!?  She is 15 pounds of prissy, spoiled dog…hello, she wears a PINK BOW!  WHERE WOULD SHE BE EATING DEAD THINGS?  I guess I have to stop picking dead raccoons and squirrels off of the road for her dinner.  Definitely not a fun part of the last couple of weeks!

Crazy dog.

Crazy dog.

Although the weeks are super crazy, we always seem to have super exciting adventures on the weekends.  There are so many fun places to go to in Florida that its hard not to have fun.  The past few weekends included Disney World, Anna Maria Island, and other adventures!  I apologize now for the ton of pictures from these adventures that are coming….

Disney World was so much fun!  It is amazing that it is less than 2 hours from our place.  AND GUESS WHAT?  I got a Season Pass, so I can go back ANYTIME I want!  YAY Disney…what a great $600 investment! Lol!  It turned out that getting a 1 year Florida Resident pass basically pays for itself if you go more than 6 times, and since I will have other family visiting and other trips planned later this year, I know I will be there more than 6 days!

There is just something totally magical about Disney…you can totally be a kid, no matter what!  Heck yes, I did go on the Little Mermaid ride, and yes, I greatly enjoyed it!  I haven’t been to Disney since 2005, so it was fun to see how many things have changed…and how many things have stayed the same!  I have so many favorite rides at Disney.

My top 5 rides would have to be:

  1. Soarin’
  2. It’s a Small World…. how can you not love that song???
  3. Peter Pan’s Flight…which is made for toddlers…I’ll stop there…
  4. Tower of Terror
  5. Space Mountain
  6. Rock’ N’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith…gives me a headache BUT so worth it!
  7. Haunted Mansion
  8. CRAP!  That is totally more than 5…I totally have about 30 favorite rides!!!

But whatever, Disney was so much fun!!!  Totally going back in July…maybe every single weekend….Here are some awesome Disney pictures!

Most magical place on earth!

Yes, I did spend $22 on flashy Minnie Ears.

Another fun trip we recently took was about an hour south of here to Anna Maria Island.  IT WAS SO GORGEOUS!  The beaches were AMAZING.  New life goal: become rich enough to buy a beach house and live on Anna Maria Island FOREVER!  I feel like that will take a LONG time to accomplish…perhaps I should just rent one for a week?  Sounds like fun to me!  It was THAT beautiful! I bet you are getting sick of seeing all of the pictures of the beaches that we go to! Well guess what?  Here come some more that were taken on Anna Maria Island!  YAY!

And now it is the most dreaded time of the week…Sunday night.  The realization that the adventure has come to an end and work starts bright and early.

The struggle is real.

Oh god make it stop!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
