Until We Meet Again

It's down to the wire for the move now so it's highly doubtful that I will post anymore until I am in Florida and back on dsl... and then of course it will be more sporadic as Florida has thunderstorms nearly every day with the exception of a very few months in late winter.. such as it is in Florida. 

I hear some of you saying that you wouldn't mind moving to Florida because you could do without winter ...but it's not as easy as you would think if you grew up in a 4 season state as I have.  I did spend 13 yrs in Florida when I was married and nearly 10 more in southern California where there is no real winter or seasons either.

I would not lie and say that you would miss shoveling snow because no one loves it unless you are really young and "want the exercise"..heh that wouldn't be me!  But I do love Spring and Fall as most everyone does when you see new life all around you and the falling of the leaves (yeah yeah ya have to rake) to usher the winter in.  But then again.. if you are young enough to still have kids living at home (even college kids)..there's nothing like a "cool" Thanksgiving and a "white Christmas"...  85 degrees and sweating as you decorate the Christmas Tree just doesn't cut it lol... ah well.. I'm alone and it doesn't matter anymore.

If you know me at all you know that I'm not a sand and beach person.. I do love mountains and trees and rocks and dirt. Real dirt!  Brown dirt!  Dirt with earthworms in it!... *sigh* there ain't no dirt in Florida.. and oh yeah, I will miss it.  Even the smell of real dirt.    sheesh, how pathetic is that?!!  I'd better go dig up a jar of dirt and take it with me!!

I do not know  how long or how short it will be before I get back on line.  I already ordered my at&t dsl and hoping the modem will by in my Florida mail box when I get there... but my luck is not going that way right now. 

I've come to the conclusion that the old saying "If it weren't for Bad Luck , I'd have no luck at all"  is very true.  I wonder who the poor soul was that first wrote it?   Anyway.. here's why I say that:

The Weather Report says that it's going to rain the entire day we have to pack the truck and it's looking like we will be driving for 2 days in the rain.. I don't need this!

Also the news says that Florida is flooded and at the 10 day "weather.com" the forecast shows storms everyday without let up.  I now have to make some calls and hope I hear better news about flooded areas.. this could take longer than 2 days to get there if I-95 has flooded areas .  Yep.. I have no luck at all!

All month I have only read 3 books.. I am on book 4 now but due to the move if I finish it before the end of the month it will be a miracle!   Packing and last minute lists (what to do before I leave/ what to do when I first arrive down in fla) have taken over my life.  (yes .. I am bitching!)

Yesterday one of David's nieces came and took the two older cats, Princess and Stinkey, to live with her.  Oh yeah, I cried like a baby.  There are 2 more they are having trouble finding someone to take them and cat sit for about 5 weeks until a person who said they would take them can, since they too are in the process of moving.  (one cat: BooBoo Kitty, will come with me)

There is one bit of good news I heard though....  Susan Boyle moved up to the next part of Idol. I hope we, here in America, get to hear what she sang! (I will go check on Youtube) 

I went and luck that I have there are no new Susan Boyle vids to watch... so, needing, very much, to have something make me feel better I watched the first video (for I don't know how many times) of Susan singing ... and yes, I cried yet again... but it felt good.

Ok, I guess that's it.. I probably will not be posting for a week or more, but monday and tuesday I will still leave some comments on other blogs.

I will miss you all.... until we meet again...

p.s....
