Random thoughts from Florida…

Filed under: Ramblings, Travel — drea @ 11:42 pm

Well, I’m back in NC, but here are some random thoughts from my time in the Sunshine State this past week:

~ There were altogether TOOOOO many lycra/spandex/sequin/tube-top-wearing people in Orlando - it was hard to remember that just because I was there for work, didn’t mean everyone else withint a 30-mile radius wasn’t there for vacation - but when did being on vacation mean you’re exempt from just basic common sense? I mean, women over the age of say, 60, should not wear tube tops :lol:

~ I saw a billboard on the way to the airport today - guess what it was advertising? Cars? Cell phones? Strip joints? Guess again - it was an ad for this - yes, that’s right, vasectomies! That’s how much the state cares about its residents! :)

~ Apparently there’s a big trend in the scientific community for men to have long hair - who knew that was back in? (or maybe it never really went away with scientists?)

~ Also, I think every person over the age of 60 in the greater Orlando area was working at the Convention Center this week - seriously, I didn’t see one CC employee who didn’t look like they didn’t have several grandkids - and there were hundreds of them, everywhere!

OK, I think that’s enough for now… I might think of more later on…

  3. You’re never too old for a sequined tube top, Andrea. NEVER.
