chugging along

This weekend I went to Wal-Mart. Well, I didn't personally choose to go to Wal-Mart, but I drove a car-less friend there because I am a nice friend. I did not spend a dime. I was very proud of my self-restraint. Honestly it was not as difficult as I had expected.

I also went canoeing this weekend. It was a blast. Canoeing is very peaceful and relaxing and the river was empty which added to the blissful surroundings. I'm trying to clear my calendar for this Saturday so that I can go again. Doubtful.

I took my boyfriend to Blondie's parents house so that we could go fishing and enjoy a smore-filled bonfire. The evening was quite enjoyable. I managed to catch 2 fish, one of which was a big mouth bass. Taz caught nothing and that made me feel like a champ. I somehow managed to obtain well over a dozen mosquito bites without noticing. However, 24 hours later I was in complete misery. I have 6 mosquito bites just on the smallest 3 toes on my left foot. Last night I was in such itching pain that, while walking, I would step with my right foot and drag my left so as to scratch the top of it on the rug. SAD!!! Taz thought that Blondie's dad looks like Billy Bob Thornton. I passed that information along to Blondie and she got slightly defensive and proceeded to say, "Well, to white people, all black people look the same too." I relayed that comment back to Taz and he thought that was just the funniest thing he'd heard in a long time.

Yesterday was a fabulous day! I managed to sit on my butt and watch 8 hours of the third season of 24. I didn't have to work and was prepared for all 3 of my classes. Nice! My goal is to finish the rest of this season of 24 before Saturday night. I have 12 hours left to see.
