picture a beach
all i have to do is hand in this amazing FINISHED, POLISHED paper, and then get up and go to class tomorrow, and then go to work tomorrow, and THEN: emma and i are escaping to florida. for, like, not even three full days, but still. that's enough time to complete our list of Things We Are Planning To Do In Florida, which is as follows:
wear big sun hats and a lot of gold jewelry
lie on the beach like dead things until all of the stress poison has been dissolved by the sun
flirt with retired old men
battle an alligator and cut off the head to make a taxidermied, politically incorrect souvenir (that was my idea)(i'm not kidding)
we're flying down on my mom's tab, and she's in the process of completing her field guide to the venomous snakes of america (again, not kidding) so there will likely be a certain amount of stomping around in a swamp as well. but we can handle it! after a week like this, i can handle anything! and after that, i get a week's PAID vacation from work (guess what i'm still not doing here...kidding!) in which to run around this city i never have time for and perhaps travel with my lover to other exotic locales and foreign climes, such as philadelphia.
