observations from a florida girl

I'm a nerd & I know it.  I proved it to myself today again.....I've been downtown last week & the last two days for classroom training.  I met a friend for lunch today at a Vietnamese fusion restaurant (really good, by the way).  We got out a little early for lunch and I had time to sit in the square across the street for a little while until I walked down to meet her.  I, of course, took in every second of the walk from where we are to the restaurant...the weather, that I'm wearing dressy flip flops, the sunshine, then noticed the homeless people and was reminded that a very cold winter is here in many states in our country & this is the season that we see homeless numbers rise in west central Florida.  Ever want to help somebody and realize how close so many of us are, realistically, to living like that?  Makes you want to help them more.

Enjoyed lunch with a friend...had meatball pho at Fusion Bowl...try it if you get a chance!  People watched a little on the way back and made my way up the elevator and back into my seat in the classroom with the window that looks out at Tampa Bay.  Making me smile.  Tomorrow I'll be in the Itty Bitty, but today I was downtown and felt like That Girl.  :)

On the Crosstown a little after 5:00 p.m. and drove to B-Town...to my mama's to work on grown up'ing some more, then to the house.  Pizza for dinner, garbage is out, I'm tired.  Have a good night, y'all  :)
