hot fun in the summertime
hi everybody! hope all’s well in your world. is the summer flying by for you?
it sure is for me. i haven’t posted lately cause there’s been so much action here in miami beach it’s hard to keep up. my goal was to stay here for a good long time, enough time to get bored to death but it’s just not happening. not only do i have to leave soon for nyc, but i’m not close to being over this place.
i’m sorry’ve been so bad about visiting and responding but i vow to get over to say hi and check on you. i know you know how it is…everything starts to pile up if you take your eye off the ball. even blogging…from answering comments to resizing pics and recapping a full day it can become overwhelming and then you do nothing.
basically i just wanted to check in and send a little south beach your way. it’s truly heaven on earth and i thank god every day for letting me figure out i should live here. i’ve been on a crusade to tackle recycling cause tragically, they just don’t do it and no one enforces the law. it’s really a renegade city in so many ways which on one hand is a relief from the traffic cops and meter maids of nyc, but on the other hand, it’s a kind of a free for all that gets taken advantage of.
anyway in my spare time i’ve been checking out the luxe market here, the w just opened last week and i got a grand tour. they don’t like you taking pics but i got a couple. but you know me. i’m one of the renegades!
it was positively stunning from the lobby to the loggia, just wildly plush and every surface was exquisite.
not to mention the views. now if only i could get the 10 mil together for this penthouse. want to all pitch in?
this would be our view! well powerball is up to 75 mil. i don’t normally play but as they say you gotta play to win!
well, i better get back to it. i have lots of visiting to do. thanks for all your incredible comments on the last post. you’re making me want to open up shop again… maybe a very posh coconut stand!
oh and before i go wanted to thank melissa of reverie daydream (reverie-daydream.blogspot.com). she sent me this gorgeous candle as a thank you gift. she’s a fabulous fellow blogger who if you don’t know, now you know. she’s living a dreamy reverie with her beautiful family. thank you mel! have a great night everyone!

I would be in heaven too! We are heading to Cape Cod in a few weeks and I am giddy with excitement. It will be hard to come home.

I wouldn’t mind chipping in – I haven’t got much money but I can cook and play the piano (there’s got to be a grand piano at a place like this, right?)!

I’ve been on a real estate hunting frenzy lately. I dream of the ocean, warm sand turquoise waters you know what I mean, exactly what you’ve just shown. I say we should just do it :-)
It’s amazing how quickly summer has flown by. It has started to get a bit chilly again up here. I hope you have an amazing time while you are still there, cannot wait to hear what you are doing next!
Hugs!

Yes, I know what you mean about things piling up and then you don’t want to do any of it. It’s been a week for me being away from blogging as well. South Beach looks wonderful. I’d love to visit. May you be able to simplify some so that you can be where you want to be. Have a wonderful weekend!

WOW!! What an amazing place you live in. Your recent beach scenes are quite a bit different from mine. (I was just in SF and Oregon.) Isn’t summer a real miracle? Happy Friday.
