Orlando...

is not the happiest place on earth for me. Ugh. It is like Disney threw up on the entire town. Anyway, I had a lot of time to kill in Orlando before I flew home to Boston so I ended up at the Florida Mall. I have been to the Mall of America so this was not the biggest mall I'd ever been it, but it was darn close. I mean it was HUGE! It had ever store you could ever desire in it. I was amazed. (Thanks to Jackson for finding it for me online. You're the best!)

I got a manicure. That was Tuesday and I still have not bitten my nails. That's a record. I'm hoping that if I keep getting manicures I will finally beat this habit. Although just writing about it makes me want to bite so I'm really not that hopeful. I got the best pedicure I have ever gotten by a man! Seriously. He was so, so good. I wish I could see him every 2 weeks, but that would mean going back to Orlando which I'm not willing to do. I got my eyebrows threaded. I ate lunch at a Chinese place. I did some shopping. Honestly my day that seemed to be wasted was great for catching up on "me time." If only Kylee from Salon Krelic was there to do my hair I would have been totally set. Speaking of, I am thinking of going back to brown for the fall/winter seasons and taking a few inches off. Anyone think that is a really good or really bad idea? Comments are welcome.

I got to the Orlando airport and watched child after child walk by with their overpriced toys from Disney World. I could not help but think of how big of suckers those parents were. I am just saying that those kids will not remember that big expensive trip. Whatever. To each their own. I'm glad that some people enjoy that type of thing. You wouldn't catch me in Disney ever again unless one of my dear nieces or nephews asked me to take them. Then I'd be a sucker, too.

All in all my trip to Florida was a good one. It was nice to spend some time with my Mom. It was nice to drive a little bit. (We just do not drive here in Boston. We went from September 11th until October 20th without buying gasoline for my car!) It was super fun to see Danielle and her boys. I forgot to mention that she has a new house, too. It was gorgeous and HUGE! I loved it.

There is, however, no place like home. I just love my time with Jackson and MacKenzie. :)
