fishing disaster

Okay, so I know it's been a while and I'm so sorry. I have seriously been the laziest person since I got back from Florida on Monday, but from now on I think I'll be posting regularly :)

Anyway... we had sooo much fun in Florida and we can't wait to go back - we're really thinking about moving there. While we were there, the BF and I spent a lot of time fishing. We caught a whole lot of fish, obviously we released them right away. We fished all day for the first 3 days until we were rudely interrupted by a nasty catfish. By nasty catfish, I mean a SPIKY catfish!

Catfish apparently have really sharp fins on their sides and back. And... well... the BF got stuck by one of them!

Of course I freaked out because... well... it went right through the top of his knuckle! His finger swelled up - basically it was double the normal size.

Finally, the BF's finger is now back to normal size and feeling better. We're just thankful that it wasn't a serious injury. It could've been worse... but we're so happy it wasn't.

oh, the hotness!

Okay, so I know this is Florida, but DAMN it is hot! When I was here in April, it was not as hot as it is now - it's about 90 degrees outside and feels like 100. That is not my kind of weather, but I'm dealing with it of course.

We've been spending most of our time by the pool, but that doesn't really cool us down considering that the pool itself is 90 degrees. Yes, I said 90 degrees!

Basically, it's really hot! Soo anyway, here's a few photos I wanted to share:

I'll be back to posting regularly on Monday! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

how did that happen?!

Soo this past weekend was actually pretty decent. The BF and I ended up going to a family BBQ at his grandmother's on Sunday, which turned out to be a lot of fun. The weather was perfect - in the mid 80's and sunny - and... well... it was just a good time for all of us!

The BF and his family played croquette for hours - yes, of all the games they could play, they chose to play croquette (weird, I know, but it looked like they were having tons of fun and I have to admit I had fun watching!). We were all outside way past when the mosquitoes came out - basically until the sun went down. Well, that was Sunday.

Monday night, I was just laying around when I started to feel a little itchy. It wasn't just in one place either - it was a bunch of different places all over my body. I was wondering what the heck could have caused the itchiness. Then I remembered... I was outside with mosquitoes all night the night before! I thought that if I had any bug bites, I would have noticed them Sunday night. Well, I guess not because I sure was itchy as hell! ... and not just on my legs either. Those damn mosquitoes got me right on the @$$! TWICE - one on each cheek!

Of all the places I could have gotten bit by these mosquitoes, I didn't think my butt was one of them! It's not like I was butt-@$$ naked or even wearing shorts... I was wearing capris! Damn mosquitoes!

florida, here i come

Some of you may know that my family has a vacation home in Florida. Well, that's where the BF and I will be less than 24 hours from now! We'll be waking up at 5:30am (yuck!) to catch an 8am flight and we will arrive in Florida around 10:30am. Soo basically this is what we'll be doing tomorrow morning:

Sorry for the squiggly lines! I'm nervous for some reason. Anyway... we'll be there until Monday, but don't worry because I'm pretty sure I'll still be blogging since I'll have my laptop and wi-fi internet access at the house. I'm going to try spending as much time as possible outside working on my tan by the pool and fishing, but it's supposed to be in the upper 80's and scattered thunderstorms the entire time we're there, so I may spend some time inside.

The last time I was down there, which was in April, I didn't get to see a thunderstorm - we didn't even have a single drop of rain! This time, they're predicting scattered showers and storms while we're there, so I'm really looking forward to seeing a good thunderstorm.

Soo that's what I'll be doing this weekend! I just wanted to let everyone know in advance since I may or may not be blogging (most likely I will). I'm soo excited! Florida, here I come!

a first for me

At 22 years old, I should have played beer pong before. Well, I haven't! I know what you're thinking... how lame can this girl be?! To tell you the truth, I haven't had a single drink since I was 16 - I'm scared, but that's for another day.

So I ended up playing beer pong today at a friend's graduation party. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into and had not a clue what the rules were. I figured it couldn't be that complicated if you play it when you're drunk. I seriously amazed myself. I was sooo good! My very first shot, I got it in the cup!

Sorry for the completely overexposed photo, but I had to post it since this was my very first shot. Anyway... I was soo proud of myself! I couldn't believe that I had never in my life played this game and my first shot went in a cup. The BF and I won 2 games in a row.  It was like I had a hidden talent.... Maybe I should go pro?! Yeah, right. What a great night!
