Lessons I've Learned This Weekend
In handy-dandy numbered format, though not in any order of importance...
1. If it's hot, it's a beach day. It doesn't matter if the sky looks threatening. Just go to the beach. Everything will work somehow. And I stand by the thought that led to this too. If it's 90 degrees and humid out, I don't need to go hiking. No matter how funky and interesting the destination is. Just no. Cool water versus hot rocks... umm. Yeah.
2. The volume on headphones only go up so high. Beyond that it's merely distortion, and really, that can be worse than nothing at all.
3. BUY A FREAKING LIFEJACKET!!! This is probably the most important one. I didn't come all *that* close to losing my life, actually, no where near, but I almost freaked out when I flipped over in water over my head, almost got smacked in the head with the kayak, then had to attempt to swim back to shore with my paddle in the amazingly high and crashing surf. I just kept taking breaths, going under, hoping I'd get tossed shoreward, like the kayak had been. It worked, but that was definitely my last ride of the day.
4. I haven't bought a new cd in a week, and I survived. Apparently it *is* possible.
5. Now I'm just having fun with numbers... lalala.
6. Oh! Thought of another one... Kids like me because I like to play the same kinds of games as them. I'm not that good at adult games. I have no concept of strategy, and I really don't want to. But give me one of those scoop-ball jai lai sets, and I'm good to go! Yeah!
