Day Nine....

Well, yesterday I walked 4.8 miles!!! I thought initially it was only 3, b.u.t after clocking it in Google Maps, what a nice (b.u.t sore) surprise. :)

I went to the store yesterday. Alone. The children were with grandma; one was taking a nap and the other was online playing Webkinz. I really just needed some time alone. It was just my iPod, re-usuable Publix Breast Cancer Awareness bag, and me. It was a nice walk and not hot..warm and breezy (like me *smile*). And to be honest I really didn't even NEED to go to the store b.u.t I'm realizing today as I'm juicing that I'll need to tomorrow. So guess who'll be lacing up her sneakers again. This time I'll have to bring my Sun b.u.t we have the stroller so it won't be so bad. I think I'll go early after I drop my daughter off at the bus stop because it's still cool at 8am.

In the next couple of weeks I'm going to be saving up for a sewing machine. I love those long shoulder bags, and would like to make some for myself and to sell. This should be fun since I haven't been on a sewing machine since 7th grade and I'm 30 now. O_o

Here's my Day 7 video:

I gotta be honest here, I'm really homesick. And it's tempting to want to stay down here with these foreclosed and short sale (gorgeous) condos on the market, b.u.t I know a lot of my business will be in NYC where it's flooded with culture. I miss hopping on the subway or bus and I'm in Manhattan in 20 minutes. I miss my honey...I miss my friends and monthly Parliaments in Harlem. *sigh*. I told my King that in 3 years I'll be back permanently. You never know, I may buy a condo down here and just be a 'Snowbird' and hang down here in the Winter. As long as I'm selling my goods online, I can sell them from anywhere, b.u.t in NYC there's so much more opportunity to vend at events and weekly artist markets. The Florida demographic down here is more geared toward Nature, the NYC demographic is more geared toward Culture and Truth.

This should be interesting.
