Re: The Happy Thread
 
Here's my happy for today:

--Went for a sushi lunch with coworkers. Always yummy.
--The weather is nice enough (just) that I could walk there. (A whole 650m walk... and two of my coworkers drove. Okay then.)
--I am leaving work in 32 minutes, and it's a long weekend!
--This weekend is also my 2nd wedding anniversary!

Just keep swimming... just keep swimming... just keep swimming swimming swimming...

Not in Oakville; I assume Hamilton is probably similar... it was about 90% gone by the evening, the rest went the next morning.

Jealous of you being in Florida though!

I'm not. An atrocious place. Indeed, the mere fact that I'm not in Florida is my Happy Thought for today. :thumbup:

Hahaha! That's another way to look at it! I used to go down more often when I was in my teens as my aunt and uncle were snowbirds and had a place down there, so going for a week in March was nice - a bit of ocean, a bit of sun, a bit of shopping. Pretty laid back.

My husband has family in Florida as well, we are hoping to visit this coming winter to get away from the cold! I'm actually looking forward to it.

But having been to Florida in the muggy months of July when it's more humid than Toronto... well...

Sorry, I just saw this!

No, it's melted (finally) though it was -8c this morning!

My happy thought for the day...

Thank you both for the kind thought. There's snow on the ground here, patchy, but a foot deep in places.

I liked working in parts of Florida; the Space Coast had a nice, "world moved on, drunks left behind" beach bar feel to it. The Keys were fabulously snob "her over there, her house fronts the Hudson, but there's no actual access". The Portofino Bay Hotel defines tackiness, it gives Vegas class. All in all, it's New Jersey on vacation.

I am happy because it's the long weekend, my friend is coming to stay tomorrow and we have Lindt Easter eggs ordered from the Easter bunny for Sunday.

Quite. An abominable place where all things go to die, whether from New Jersey, Ontario. Alberta or Wisconsin.

Did you know that Florida is the flattest of all the contiguous States? And has a Governor by the name of Chad (perhaps Jed) Bush?

Either way, they're both candidates for hanging.

LOL! That is where I am staying and I totally agree! Though it is a decent hotel otherwise. I like the Hard Rock hotel better though, we stayed there a couple years ago whilst here.
