hawt sunz.

my trip to florida at a glance (since my salt lake city trip notes were so god damn extensive).

saturday

• woke up at 7:45am after a wild night in stratton at sasha's house.
• drove (maybe a bit recklessly) back to burlington by 11am.
• threw what i needed (forgot all my toiletries) into my suitcase within five minutes.
• got picked up and driven to the airport at 11:15am.
• touched down in florida around 8pm and drove to the hotel (still unshowered, hair a mess, teeth unbrushed, and body still holding a grudge against me in lieu of the night before).

sunday

• woke up to pouring rain around 11.
• did nothing because it was raining and florida is boring when it rains and you are stuck in a hotel with your older sister, mother and her husband.
• went to the gym from 4ish until 5:30. 
• showered and socialized with jim's family in the suite over salad and pizza. 
• facebook'd til sleep. what an enthralling day.

monday

• woke up to glorious sunshine around 10 and went straight to the pool with the sister.
• snapped some pics (obv.) and werked on our taannnzz.
• went running and to the gym and then lounged around the room once it got dark.

tuesday

• woke up to play tennis at 11am but never found the pro and was pissed.
• in my rage, decided to stop raging, and went swimming and soaked up a lot of beautiful sunshine.
• we ate at the most delicious sushi dinner at a japanese place in downtown orlando and i left pleasantly full of edamame and raw fishies.

wednesday

• emily flew to visit her lover, henry, in the morning while i was still soundly sleeping.
• spent the day relaxing in the sunshine (what a surprise). 
• exercised throughout the day via swimming, running and a mini gym sesh.
• traveled about fortyfive minutes away to have a homecooked dinner with jim's family again at his daughter (and technically my stepsister) kim's house.
• went on a late night run and then to the gym until 1am. so nice to finally be able to run in shorts and a tank top and stiiill be sweating vs. running in the frigid cold with leggings, a sweater, gloves and a hat and be freezing anyways.

 thursday

• woke up around 9:30am and went to the mall with mommy to do a bit of shopping. got some necessary new work jeans for the applebee's dresscode change, a small pink see-throughish frock from h&m that is adorable, and a new pair of HUGE diamond dangly earrings from forever21.
• the rest of the afternoon included my typical explorations and sunshine soaking. 
• i found a little nature trail along the resort and lurked some photos here and there.
• the evening was hilarious because kim (my stepsister who, mind you is about twentyfive years older than me) and i went to disney world and got up to some antics.
• first we had some drinks and browsed downtown pleasure island for a restaurant with a wait small enough for us to want to dine at. we settled on the rainforest cafe and sat down for the meal.
• after two long island iced teas and one delicious helping of "rasta pasta" we signed the check and got one last drink each from a bar along the water to cap off the evening. we had the best bonding and the most hilarious conversations. a good time indeed.
• when i returned i was lucky enough to chat with friends i was missing but afterwards my sleeplessness got to me so i went running in some warm rain and to the gym for a while. 

friday

• the rain subsided before i awoke in the morning and sun was streaming through my balcony door. 
• my day had no real changes from any other day other than i ate the most delicious ice cream snack in the afternoon. cookies n' cream ice cream with mini fudge brownie chunks and peppermint patties. the perfect cool down.
• from four-five ish i was abandoned in my room waiting for the mom and the jim to come back to take us all to dinner so i let out the narcissist in me and played around with self timer in my clothes.
• dinner was delicious. tuna sashimi as an appetizer and shrimp fresca tacos for dinner. mmmmm. i am going to miss all of the fresh seafood- but maybe i'm going to miss not having to pay for it more. 

and saturday, well, we all know i returned to burlington and was reunited with all of my uvm friends. i lounged most of the day and went out at night but none of this is necessary information. i had a nice recharging period in florida and now i am so happy to be back. only thing missing is my best friend- aside from that, i couldn't be happier right now. xoxo. maggie.
