CONTEST!!! Meet Coleese. She has a very tough job as a floor warmer. She is also a very smart girl because she's very environmentally aware.

Where have I been? Here,there, and everywhere. I've been gone for a while but yet, I didn't go anywhere. Haven't noticed? (please don't burst my bubble) I'm sure that every one's life works the same way.. in this instance at least. Sometimes you're just busy. There isn't always a specific calendar filled to the brim (it's full sporadically but from the outside it doesn't appear all that busy) but as the hours turn into days and days to weeks. . you just don't seem to have a spare minute.

It was a gorgeous, blue skied day; the perfect day for a walk. We'd get to take in the picturesque beach scenes while completing a mission – gather some food for the week’s vacation. Granted, the perfection of the day required some time at the pool, ocean, or at least the protection of the shade to cool you and keep you from melting. So we set out on the ½ mile hike down to the local grocery store, kids in tow and plans in mind, eager to get back. We enjoyed a nice walk there and were happy to kill off a little of the extra vacation energy the children had built up. Everyone knows that family beach vacations tend to require a good deal of snacks, food, and drink.   Generally it is one of the first missions, especially on those that include a plane ride and no option for packing them. There were a lot of "needs" so we came armed with a list. We navigated the aisles and loaded the cart making our way to the register. As t...
