So, Jim and I got back from PIB yesterday. Had a great time, of course. The house was filled with the following people: Dad, Becky, Cullen, Victor (their Brazilian exchange student), Anne, Madison, Max, Jim and me. Monday when we got to the island (around 11:30) we immediately packed up some sandwiches, water and beer and headed out on the boat and wave runner to School House Bay (at Middle Bass). We anchored and then took turns on the wave runner tubing. Anne, Madison and I went together and I tried to be gentle with Anne but in the end I made her wipe out and if she accidentally bit her lip, that can't be pinned on me. Apparently she thought differently. When it was my turn, well, according to Madison, it was the best wipe out she'd ever seen. All I remember was being in the air and thinking, "Why haven't I landed back in the water yet?" Apparently I was shot up in the air about 15 feet. Hee hee! Anne "claims" that it she didn't see the giant wave coming because she was distracted watching me because I was screaming and laughing so loud. (FYI - Madison was on the wave runner sitting backwards as "lookout" so Anne watching me and not the water!? Just reckless!) By the way? It was sooooooo much fun.
Other than all that, we hung out, had good dinners, more wave running, shopping etc. Jim and I fixed/cleaned the grill (a 5-6 hour job) and it's a wonder that we haven't filed divorce papers. Have I mentioned lately that he doesn't listen? Ugh! Regardless though, the grill at the Bay now works like a charm. The major parts have been replaced (only thing that couldn't be fixed is the ignitor but that's what lighters are for) and all the grease and gunk has been removed. Nearly like brand new!
In other news, I've started having nightmares about school already. This year my philosophy is a mix of my past philosophies plus a bit of new: I don't give a rat's ass, do your job and (the new part) mind your own business. In other words, if it doesn't affect or involve me, I can't be bothered. I mean seriously...after my reprimand, I'm on thin ice. If anything happens with me, I could be suspended. I'm not going to give those fools any reason to reprimand me again. So to sum up, my philosophy is: IDGARA, DYD & MYOB!!! Oh, and SUCK IT!!!JOTD: On a cold, cold night two bulls are standing in a field. One says "Boy it's mighty cold out here!", the other says "Yes, I think I might slip into a nice Jersey". Ha ha!!! That's a dirty cow!
K - I'm going to go walk Sami...she' going to be soooooo excited. Later!
