Wait.. What?

I went to see "My Sister's Keeper" today and didn't shed a single tear. EVERY other audience member was sobbing.

Is something wrong with me?

New Vocabulary

I know, I know... I'm totally the person you turn to when you want to be hip with the lingo.

Well, I have a new term for you:
Bipolar driver - a driver who simply cannot travel at a consistent speed and often can be found speeding or traveling below the approved speed limit. These drivers may force other drivers (who are, of course, driving on cruise control) to shout explitives or other equally demeaning words at them. At which point the bipolar driver will continue on with their happy little shenanigans until an opening becomes available and other drivers are able to pass them.

Who knew driving could be so much fun?

Oh, I should also mention these drivers love to do this on two lane highways with heavy truck traffic, thus making it virtually impossible to pass them.

Sigh...

Only in Michigan...

Definitely just heard about RV racing not far from my hometown in Michigan. It's drag racing for RV's. Couldn't be anymore klassy with a capital K....

Bad Luck..

They say bad luck travels in 3's...

I'd have to agree after my luck today. Went out on the jet ski, it stopped working. Got the trailer stuck while pulling the jet ski out of the lake. Then blew the tire on the golf cart. Awesome.

Thank goodness I was with some pretty fun people who all have a great sense of humor or it could have gotten tricky.

Annnnnnd.. I escaped a major sun burn. I guess the day wasn't a total loss.

Blog-a-versary!

My one year blog-a-versary is coming up on the 29th of June.

You may want to tune in for a give away...

You know, because I'm not cool enough to have 50 followers, so I'll let the rest of the readers benefit from my blog-a-versary! After all, life doesn't always have to be about me.

ETA: Blogger doesn't recognize the word blog-a-versary. Whatev.

Updates..

Sorry for leaving you all hanging.. but I've been in Michigan visiting with the family and the internet has not been working.

I'll admit.. it was kind of liberating to not be able to jump on the internet (or my phone-- cell service stinks in the middle of nowhere) whenever I wanted. It was freeing, almost.

On the flip side of that, I totally missed all of you! I'm STILL catching up on your lives and trying to comment. I missed hearing about your lives- it sounds crazy, I know- but I feel connected to so many of you. I found myself talking about some of you to family and friends and referring to you as "my friends". Even though we're bloggy friends, I really appreciate you!

In case you wondered what I've been up to.. go here. Yes, that's me in a bee suit. I'm the blonde on the left. I also spent 3 hours in a car with my parents. That's always an adventure. It's even more of an adventure when dad puts the gps on Spanish so I can "work on my Spanish while driving", mom gets confused with the time zones, and I'm generally a wreck when others are driving in busy traffic. Needless to say, there were plenty of laughs. And no panic attacks. Phew.

Yesterday, I spent time with my in real life best friends from high school/college. I love those girls. I wish they lived closer. There's just something about having girlfriends...
