Ugh!!

And yet another sleepless night. To distract myself, I have been on the Rolex website, and I've configured a watch that makes me happy ..except price .. It's a yellow gold DD 36 with oyster crownclasp bracelet, and green diamond and arabic dial with domed bezel

Another favorite is the same watch with a champagne diamond and roman dial with diamond bezel and president crownclasp bracelet.

One sporty, and one for a night on the town

Sounds like a beauty bud. Sorry to hear about the sleepless night, though I’m awake as well over here

That’s tough. Im generally awake by 4/4:30 to get my day started, but this 3:30 nonsense on a weekend annoys me.

Slept about an hour myself, right now in the PHL airport about to board a 5:00 plane for home. I was SUPPOSED to be home last night, but my flight from Europe was diverted to Canada, so I missed my connection. Got to the hotel about midnight, TRIED to sleep but having to wake up at 3:30 barely closed my eyes.

It's been really cold up there .. I love it in Florida, except when it's hot and humid .. The heat mixed with high humidity make it harder for me to breathe .. I've had a couple different time when I developed multiple clots in both lungs, and that has taken a toll. Thats why I don't like going out if it's to hot and humid .... Although I always go to Bradenton beach every May when my older sister (adopted) comes down to pay a visit .. I enjoy that, but I always get a really bad sunburn and look like Louis the lobster. She lives in Greenwich CT, and she complains about the cold, while I'm down here complaining about the heat .... You can come down here and trade for a bit .. you can hang out in the sun, and i'll play in the snow

Greenwich is def not a bad place to live but beware of what you wish for. I live in NJ which is somewhat close to CT and this year we got tons of snow and it wasn't fun, specially black ice, my car skid twice on it.

On a brighter side, this year during the snow, the only thing which I liked was hosting deer family and baby foxes (they're probably teenagers but def not grown ups yet) along with many ground hogs in my backyard. It was fun watching them and was surprised how these animals shared food without fighting.

I would love the colder weather, but not the black ice .. I hit black ice only once in my life (2009 in Florida believe it or not) and I skid and it scared me to death .. Was really cold and the farmer who owns the strawberry fields had to leave the sprinklers on to protect the crop .. So it was after midnight, the street very poorly lit, and the road black .... I've never experience black ice, so you can imagine how bad it scared me lol!!

Even funnier is I was driving my mom's Navigator .. Can you imagine the terror? That thing had no real handling capabilities .. I'm surprised I didn't end up in a ditch .. Or even rolling the truck over

Happens several times a week here, nothing that spiked snowtires wouldn't take care of.

Aquaplaning out of nowhere is more exiting as far as I'm concerned.

Both are, but. But Betteridge is the only that sells on the Avenue, while Manfredi does so out of New Canaan store. Rolex doesn’t want too many ADs too close.
