If you skinned my shoulders, face and neck, you could make a leather coat out me. I can only remember one other occasion that I have been burned so badly. Thanks to the St. Croix River, a shiny metal boat, my body hitting the water at an intense speed therefore wiping all my sunscreen off, and my awesome Irish skin, I am now the color of a tomato at peak ripeness. Good thing is though, after a few days of hurt and an entire bottle of aloe vera, hopefully it'll be an awesome, usually inexistent tan! Minimal peeling being prayed for.
Anyhootlebootle, this weekend was very blog worthy. For all the friends who wish to be mentioned in said blog, you know what you have to do! For those who already have, aka just Janey(Meghan too, but the lack of you in my life, be as it is sad, has an impact on your blog mentions), you have done well. You will be rewarded. So my parents, awesome as they are, sent me a text on Thursday during the day saying "food in freezer, see you later". This of course was expected but still funny, especially since I "food in the freezer" means frozen micro meals. Lovessss obviously. I mean who can say no to a perfectly portioned frozen asian delight! No one, thats who! But this meant, as many of you may have figured out, that I was on my own for the weekend. And obviously that means I threw a party right???!!!!!!! No, I didn't. I instead, got home at 4 oclock and watched The Expendables, Invictus, and half a documentary about character actors before falling asleep at 9:30. Riveting I know, but in reality quite pathetic. But never fear my young padawans! I made up for it!
Janey, being the awesome fwend she is, invited me over! To move... But us, being awesome, made the best of it. Fun fact, if a curb is painted yellow, you cant park there! I must have missed that part in drivers education. But Janey, again showing why she is a GEM, informed me of this rule then pulled of a passing parallel park job while a really weird lady looked on. Got the nod of approval, THANK GAWDDDDD, cause I don't think I could of lived with myself if this woman hadn't approved. And I wasn't even driving. We were in bed by 11, so again, a riveting night of frivolity and post teenage angst.
Again, I know your worried about my social skills at this point. This is when the whole weekend turned around, not that I'm complaining about the first part of it. So when you sleepover at the Janey's house, you can expect hot coffee and pancakes for breakfast. So this is what I got on the glorious Saturday morning, in mah pjs, just chattin it up with THEE Dawn, drinkin coffee, eating pancakes, and a piece of a little too crispy bacon, but its okay Dawn, that was Anna's fault. This is when you're supposed to sit on the couch and watch Saturday morning cartoons, but NO! Not in that house, which I'm perfectly okay with because it made me feel accomplished and blow off some steam(because the previous two days had been so stressful ;))We went to boot camp. A fitness class taught by this awesome short, and extremely in shape man. It was so fun to punch a punching bag with real boxing gloves on. Made me feel like a bad butt. Now, in preparation for the awesome bonfire with our tons of friends that we have, I went home to shower and pretty myself up! But I had five hours to do this, and as many of you know it only takes me about 3 minutes to make me into a beauty queen. So, as Janey and I decided that this bonfire should be a celebration of everyones birthday, I went to Cub to get a cake. Cakes are like 20$ at Cub. Rippp OFF! Soo I bought(I mean made ;)) a 4$ angel food cake and proceeded to make it look like a firecracker exploded on it. It was awesome. And it was good. And for all that ate some, you know you loved it. Great night, great people, great lightening. I think I made the phrase "I'll blog about it later" popular. Probably trending on Twitter. Check it out.
Now Sunday is where life gets interesting. We, being Tori, Andrew, Phil, Dan and Janey(there, now your in it Tor) decided that a 7 hour canoe ride was just what we needed. So a couple stops, a few terrifying jumps, lots of laughs, and wayyy too much sun, we completed our journey through the wilderness of Wisconsin and Minnesota river bends. I may have felt like that piece of too crispy bacon that Dawn fed me just the morning before, but I also felt so accomplished. 17 miles of windy river canoed, by me, who has never successfully canoed before. Bucket list, you're getting a dent in you! And now we are here, at work, blogging about life and watching Easy A on Starz. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Sorry for spelling mistakes, I was too busy with cloud class in elementary class to worry about spelling! Peace and bullessings.
