Miami

We FINALLY did something fun on our day off. Sunday night we got off work, found a bed by the dumpster (that is now in my room waiting to be assembled) and Julie, Brian K. and I took off for Miami. We stayed at Brian's apartment. We took some (as much as would fit) of his stuff back home with us. He came to Winter Haven on the train with two suitcases so there is still a lot to bring. His apartment complex was very nice with a hot tub and pool (which we went ahead and started out the trip with) though the apartments themselves were very small. The next day we slept late (hey, its our day off) and went to meet Brian's friends for school for sushi. Which was delicious. Then we went shopping... a little too long because the sun started going down when we finally got to the beach. We stayed a bit anyway and went out to dinner in Coconut Grove with more of Brian's friends at the Cheesecake Factory. I had veggie soup and fried mac and cheese (I was curious but it near gave me a heart attack) and Julie and I split Dolce de Leche cheesecake. Mmmm. We went out dancing on South Beach but being a Monday night we landed in a nearly empty club. It was still a lot of fun. There was an aquarium under the dance floor which was very interesting... though I'm not sure PETA recommended. We woke up at 6 this morning to pack the car and get back to Winter Haven in time for our noon call. We've started themeing our shows thanks to actor-Julie who started our "moment befores". Such as the "You just won Miss America" moment. It amuses us. And makes the job less repetetive. Ok 2 minutes left on library computer.

Chugging Along.

Things are well here in sunny Florida! Shake, Rattle, and Roll continues to delight youngsters and oldsters alike. The poor ice-skaters are a man down (Maria hurt her ankle...if it takes too long to heal she will be sent home to Russia) so they had some excitement re-ordering their show with new people.
Last night we had American Idol/pizza and board game Wednesday. Which was fun. I was on the winning team of Pictionary. Both rounds. Tomorrow we get PAID. Finally. I've paid two months rent and only been given one paycheck. I don't like this every-other week business.
Jessica is gone and the apartment is finally in order, with the proper people living there. We rearranged the furniture but we no longer have an X-box or DVD player and the channels are still fuzzy.
I think Julie and I are going to go in together to get a Brita-type filter thing because the water here tastes like vacation water (i.e. gross).

I really am having a good time. Though I can't think of much to write home about.
