This week I’ve been a slacker about posting. It’s not that I haven’t been taking pictures; more like they’ve been locked in my camera with no easy way out. You see, my simple 3 day business trip has grown out of hand and I’ve been Shanghaied and press-ganged into the mafia, almost never to bee seen again. Already it’s hard to remember Miami’s balmy shores. Jacksonville looks completely different, yet in many ways it’s stayed exactly the same. Today’s (Monday) picture was taken from cruising altitude from the window of the plane going from Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville.

Taken at Homestead Miami Speedway. We went in a Shoot Miami outing at the speedway and shot a FARA race event from the pit. The track was impressive and the cars looked great. I can only imagine what it’s like on a NASCAR day. More pics to come!

Yay! After the little Bahamas luggage stealing incident, we finally have a non-camera point & shoot again! This one has manual mode, too, so we should be able to get some pretty decent shots. Now if only I could find a case that fits and isn’t butt ugly, we’d be in business.

Label makers are one of the best inventions ever for someone as anal-retentive, organization-oriented and office supply-obsessed as I am. Apparently I’m also quite fond of hyphens.

Oh, and they make great a great vehicle for sentiments that make one smile while sitting chained to their desk for 8 hours a day. It makes the grounding go over a little easier when I come up for air to see what the rest of the world is up to.

The Domo was looking especially expressive in the ambient light & I needed to dump the pictures of pickled beet salad off the camera for an upcoming post.

Another entry in my saga to accurately capture the freewheeling birdie fun that goes on outside my windows. Taken while seated at my desk, eating lunch.

After cooking a semi-flop but still satisfying molecular gastronomic “feast” with my sweetie for the last 2 hours, I’m beat. More on the meal later; here’s my favorite lamp in the house–a life-size lime green dachshund.

It’s the toast monster!

Whoo hoo. Channeling Steven Tyler & livin’ on the edge. My DH is working tonight and I’m living it up by eating my almost standard living the single life dinner–sushi. And not even exciting great sushi place sushi; Publix specialty loose-roll sushi. Man, I need to get out more.

We had an impromptu bowling excursion at Strike this afternoon. We set out to take pictures at the Zoo, but it was rainy and kind of freezing (for down here, anyways. I know. The rest of the country has snowmageddon…. but I chose not to live in the rest of the country) so we decided to hit up Dolphin Mall for some bowling & walking. I’m happy to report that even though I played like crap, I managed to eke out a win 🙂
