hello all :)

today i am in the sunshine state..yup..florida! it is incredibly hot and i am about 2 hours away from the ocean by foot....and only about 10 minutes away by car. the only problem is...it is 103 degrees--so walking is out of the picture. AND we could drive except...it's not so easy to go into town with a semi. there may not be a place to park annnnnnd some streets have truck restrictions...so there's really no way of knowing. WHAT TORTURE! (so close and yet so far...) i think i can practically smell the saltiness of the ocean.... mmmm. palm trees everywhere, ya know, exactly how you'd picture it. anyways, when a trucker is appointed to take a load to florida...it usually takes a while for us to get a load going OUT of florida. supposedly they import a lot of goods but only export...like orange juice. lol. so once we got here we kinda had to sit around all day. but we did all of our laundry and cleaned out the truck. this morning we went to the waffle house-- which is kind of like the southern version of...denny's? not quite though, waffle house has DELICIOUS breakfast! complete with grits, eggs and bacon! :) mmmmmm! i still don't understand why we don't serve grits on the west coast. what a shame. anyways, tonight we're heading to pizza hut...and tomorrow to OHIO. :D
