good morning!

I have been in Florida (for work - i promise) for. a. week. Yesterday I finally had time to actually see the beach and spend time with friends. As the afternoon was drawing to a close I literally could not bring myself to leave. So I stayed. This morning I awoke at 5:15 to make it to work (in an entirely different state) on time. It was brutal (and i was out of clothes so I look like I am going out rather than sitting at work... oh well). As I was driving over the bay (and drinking a coke, which i don't even like - desperate times) bidding my beloved second home adieu, this view literally took my breath away. What a lovely treat. It almost makes me think I should get up early all of the time.
