You know the kind.
They update their status every five minutes. They post pictures of their dogs every morning. They overuse the Like button. Don’t act like you’ve never deleted a friend because of these annoying habits.
Well, folks, if you haven’t noticed already, I’ve become one of those people over the past two days.
I was blessed to live in the beautiful Black Hills for nearly two years. The scenery there consistently took my breath away… and I know I’m going to catch a lot of slack for what I’m about to type, but here it goes: The Black Hills have nothing on Naples Beaches.
I’ve spent the past two days ‘working’ on the sugar-sand, covering the effort to let people across the country know that there is no oil here- just crystal clear blue water. Yesterday I profiled a business that has had cancellations because people don’t know enough about Florida’s geography to know we’re not impacted by the spill (see that here) and today I covered a new advertising campaign the state is rolling out to combat those cancellations (watch me sweat on the beach here).
It’s been a tough few days at the office, let me tell you.
Every time I look at the Gulf, I can’t believe my life. Not only do I get paid to write stories, but I am in one of the most beautiful places in the western hemisphere. Even when it gets so hot in my blazer I want to jump in with my clothes on, it’s still so breathtaking I can’t believe they don’t charge admission. And every time that hits me, I use Facebook (and if we’re being honest, Twitter) as my brag board to let everyone know in snowy South Dakota how awesome my life is.
And now, I’m using my blog. Which you most likely got to through my Facebook.
I’m breaking all sorts of cyber-etiquette here.
Please don’t remove me as a friend…
