Once upon a time I had a sissy who invited me to be her date to a wedding.
I had to get on an airplane (BY MYSELF) to go and I ended up somewhere new.
THE WEDDING WAS IN FLORIDA.
HIZZA!
I know. Who cares about my trip? SHOW US THE GOODS RIGHT?
I did it! On my period to boot!
All the fresh beachy air and relaxation really got to me.
And then there was the wedding…
OH. THE. TEARS.
Then there was the reception (bring on the liquor Shirley Temples!)
The most stressful thing I had to worry about all weekend?
Whatever does one wear to a beach wedding in Florida in October when it’s 87 degrees?
Don’t worry, I figured it out.
And then there was having to read ENTIRE books in ONE SITTING in a hammock on THE BEACH.
And the sights.
Don’t consider a GPS a sight?
IT IS BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE COVERED ALTON BROWN WITH SHIRLEY TEMPLES AND MASSAGES.
Then I had to go home.
From this.
To this.
From this.
To this.
And this.
To this.
Home sweet home.
I heart Florida.

Oh, the bikini. The boobs! The bikini! The legs! The bikini!
How do you get your legs to look so glossy? I’ve never been able to figure that one out.

You look amazing, and Florida looks amazing, and why do the pictures of home so closely resemble things in my home? Like piles of laundry? Glad you had a great time!

I had no idea you were going to Florida, so much for BFF huh? So sad I missed your call today. Um ya, I seem to forget to turn my phone back on after sleep and napperoos…sowwy! Love these photos and EXTREMELY jealous. You look FANTASTIC! Love, love, kiss, kiss. Barnes and Noble should have that book for you. Had that same problem when I was trying to track them down, either that or their tremendous popularity has them out of stock? Huh…have fun!

And the reviews are in:
Roger Ebert: “Two nips up! “This is her fullest body of work in years … a rich, well-rounded performance. A sexy madcap romp!”
Time magazine: “An uplifting tour de force … Casey really puts herself out there with everything she’s got!”
Entertainment Weekly: “Casey’s performance in ‘Escape From Garment Mountain’ shows she’s at the peaks of her career!”
Joel Siegel of “Good Morning America”: “I laughed, I cried, I printed it out and I stuffed it under my mattress.”
Associated Press: “Casey’s hills are alive with the sound of music in the sexiest single moment on film since Julie Andrews bared her breasts in ‘S.O.B.’”
The New York Times: “Rack up another sizzling triumph for Casey! She’s a sure nominee for at least two Golden Globes!”

Bow chicka bow wow!
Mike Rowe has some competition for my “You’re so Hawt!” devotion!
Yes, the beach is awesome. It’s why I live so close to it. But watch out for homeowners insurance. Ouch!
Just so you know, a birdie told me that you may soon find Indiana more tolerable. I may have to hate you for it. That’s all I can say.

Awesome! ;P
