This week’s statements:
1. I love a great cup of coffee on a rough morning. Okay, any morning really. For some reason coffee at home just isn't the same. I love the hot drinks at the convenience stores even though they are loaded with calories. They are just an awesome "pick-me-up." Daniel recently found me an iced coffee at 7-11 that is WONDERFUL!
The only exception to the home-brewed coffee rule is when my friend Dan used to bring me a mug. When Dan and Mira were our neighbors, our kids would walk to school together, and the girls would play at our house after school until their parents would arrive in the evening. Many a morning Dan would pop by with a coffee doctored just the way I like it to say good morning and thank you for hanging out with the girls. Man, I miss them living next door!

2. If I could vacation anywhere I would go to Sea World. Daniel and I have never been on a traditional vacation in the 13 years we've been together. I REALLY want to take my family to Sea World. We're hoping that with me now having a full time job we will be able to afford a trip next summer. If not then, definitely the year following. We'll see how well that works out. I told the girls that I want to visit the Sea World in Texas since none of us have ever been there.
3. When I grow up, I want to do exactly what I'm doing now. I really do have it all. I'm married, I have two beautiful children, and I have a job I love. These are all the things that were on my list defining success for me since I was a child. It took me a bit longer to get here than I would have liked, but I still have plenty of time to enjoy it!
4. The best memories I ever formed went undocumented. I was thinking about this the other day when a friend of mine reminded me of a time we were young, silly, and a bit on the wild side. It was one of those memories that literally made me laugh out loud. I have scrapbook after scrapbook of times I thought I wanted to remember. They rarely get opened, and I've come to realize that the best moments were those that were so spontaneous I didn't even consider having a camera in my hand.

I love your statements. Coffee and me, yeah they go together real well. can totally understand the Sea World desire, we've been to the Australian one and its good fun
I didn't know there was a Sea World in Australia! Now THAT would be a dream vacation for me.
I just saw the iced coffee advertised at our 7/11; now I'll have to try one! There's a Sea World in San Diego :) really nice one too :)
betty
I hope your wish will come true soon. Sea World is definitely a great visit ...
We'll probably wind up at the Sea World in San Diego since it's closer and we can stay with family, but I was thinking Texas would be interesting simply because it's something different. We'll see what happens as far as vacations!
Those spur of the moment things you do, are the ones you'll remember from time to time and you wish you'd had a camera to capture the moment!!!
Love your answer to #4 - I think these days we spend so much time documenting everything that we miss out on the now...
It's funny how we all kind of see it differently with #4. I do feel I've missed out a bit because I was always hiding behind a camera. At the same time, I had a great time looking through scrapbooks and DVDs yesterday. Hopefully there is a balance somewhere.
