Weekend'd'd'd

So....

Went camping for a night with Josh, Kristine and Jake's parents, aka, the "in-laws", aka Jack and Betsy. We were camping up at Point Beach in Two Rivers, which, if you ever the chance, is really nice, except that it got really hot the day we went up (Saturday), so the alewives all croaked and proceeded to wash up on shore -- which is really yucky. And it was really wavey on the lake besides. And chilly.

Then, Saturday night, there was a severe thunderstorm warning and a storm came up from Lake Winnebago north and was sitting just to the south of where we were. So, it was a brief down pour, some wind and a lot of lightening. (I just spell checked that word and it says it's correct, but for some reason, it looks wrong) We had gone up to the shelter, just in case it was really really windy and branches fell or wind knocked stuff over. It all passed to the south (Manitowoc got hit pretty good) and we went back to camp and went to sleep.

Sunday -- wake up, breakfast, sit around a bit. Then we walked the dog down to the beach, where there was still dead fish everywhere. Gross. And the flies were really biting badly on the beach too. Blah. Went back, sat around and cooled off, took a nap in the camper, while the guys went on a bike ride. Went back down to the beach and tried to go in the lake, which was like 50 degrees. The water was so cold that it hurt to stand in it. It was freezing. I couldn't go in that far, but everyone else pretty much went in most or all of the way, just to cool off.

Then, at 2ish we went into town for ice cream, which was just Cedar Crest, but was really good none-the-less. Then, Jake and I came back, because we both have to work today! grrrrr.....

And, Jake has to bring doughnuts, or wants to, because of the birthday tomorrow. So, I get to go with, because he doesn't really know where he's going yet, and he never wants to do things alone, which drives me nuts. Josh isn't like that.

I had to get up this morning because I was starving and I ate oatmeal about 20 minutes ago and I'm starving again. I'm not really sure what the deal is. BUT: I did have a delicious Chicken Queso Burrito from Qdoba last night, so that was pretty delicious. I'm sorry, but Chipotle isn't not on my map anymore. Plus, I have to be different from everyone else. Can't always do what everyone else is doing.

Today: Work 10-2, then going grocery shopping with my mom because my dad has had the flu for the past week. Which is weird for two reasons that I can think of. First, it's frickin' June/July. Who gets the flu in the summer? Second, it's my dad. I'm pretty certain that these are the first sick days that he's taken from work the whole time I've been alive. Now, that might be exaggeration, but I don't think that it is. So, my mom is going to buy food for the 4th. I think that I'm also going to make her get Jake a sweet cooler for his birthday, so we can use it for camping. On sale at Target. If I hadn't already bought him something, I would probably just buy it. Maybe I will and have my mom and dad get something else. hmmmm.....we could use our OWN screen house.

Okay, so stream of consciousness post over.

end communication
