Okay, so I'm late at trying this blogging thing. But everybody's doing it and my daughter keeps telling me its a great way to blow off steam so...here I go. :)


First of all, I don't know how often I'll add to this journal. I tend to write in spurts. Sometimes I can't stop and sometimes I don't want to say anything, either verbally or in a post or email. I guess that's because I'm manic depressive. Sometimes I think I might have adult ADD since I have always had trouble focusing on something long enough to see it through. But...who knows. If you listen to TV enough, eventually, you'll find at least one maladay you can relate to. Hopefully, it won't be the kind that Viagra cures. LOL!

So anyway, I'm sitting here in my beautiful home wondering how I'm going to pay for it. How can that be, you ask? Simple. Take some advice from someone who should have listened to her inner Jimney Cricket who sounded a lot like Dorothy in MGM's Wizard Of Oz. If you ever go searching for your heart's desire, don't look any further than your own back yard. Because believe me, paradise is pretty but offers little opportunity to help keep you there!

I don't mean to sound cryptic. I guess the bottom line is...if you decide to relocate, make sure you have a job first. THEN buy a home. Don't do it the other way around, or you might find yourself screwed...like me. Oh I know I'll find something eventually, but unfortunately, it looks as though I'll be working two jobs and at my age, that ain't fun. And the irony is...if I work two jobs, when will I get to ENJOY paradise? See what I mean?

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad I made the move. I love it here. My health is better, my environment is safer, my gasoline bills are higher...LOL...but its a great place that pretty much forces one to relax. I guess that's what happens when you live in one of the most desireable vacation spots in the country.

I am still wowed by the fact that there are some people who save up for years to come here, and they will only be able to come here once, so they do as much as possible to make it memorable. Yet, here I am, living right in The Mouse's backyard, able to go to Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World and all the other Orlando attractions any time I want. Its weird. Its like being on vacation forever in some respects, but at the same time, its my home, its where I live, its like going to the mall on a Saturday afternoon. LOL!

Okay, that's enough for now. I do have some rants, but it took me so long to set this blog up, that I'm tired and just want to go to some of my other internet haunts and lurk. Maybe I'll write more tomorrow...maybe not...whatever...
