Sun, water, friends, and stars
I took Friday so I could have a four day weekend. It was great. I spend most of Friday in Cookeville with Leah. We had lunch with Kevin which was a lot of fun as always. Friday night we headed to the boat were the rest of the weekend was spent.
Friday night after we unloaded everything and said our hellos to Mandy, who beat us there, we took a ride around the lake. It was a bit cool out, but very pretty.
Saturday morning I woke up about six and went for a run. When I got back everyone was still in bed so I grabbed the camera and headed off walking around the lake. It was a nice morning walk and it was wonderful to be out taking photos. Sis joined us sometime late Friday night and Mom got there at some point Saturday morning. We all just relaxed and enjoyed the time together. One of Mandy’s coworkers came with her family and they all went out on the lake and I stayed and talked with Mom. It was a very slow and relaxing day. After everyone went to be I walked over to the old boat ramp and laid and looked at the stars for I don’t know how long, I even saw one shooting star.
Sunday Leah and Heather joined us. They got to see me freaking out getting pulled behind the boat on a tub thing with Mandy and then Leah. I was in a pretty strange mood Sunday. When I get like that I do and say things that normally I would not. I never know how to feel when it passes and I think about the fool I have made of myself, for my college people think 2 am in KY with DP.
Monday I had to come back home to wash clothes and get food for the week and all that other adult crap that I was able to escape for the weekend. Nothing really to talk about for the rest of Monday, other than it stormed really bad and I was glad to not be stuck out in it.
Today was back to work which is never fun. Not to mention I had to face the ramifications of not watching myself this weekend. I ate whatever was there and drank a 12 pack of caffeinated drinks. I gained 8 pounds and was unable to sleep very well last night. Now I have to start working to lose the weight and endure the headache that is coming from having that much caffeine and going back to none.
Eric,
I just want you to know that there was nothing you did that made you look like a fool at the lake! You were loads of fun and I enjoyed every moment I got to spend with you. You are becoming a really great friend, and that makes me so happy! I’m spending some time with you sis too, she’s pretty awesome. There must be something in your jeans….err…genes!
