Well well well, what a delightful weekend!
It was gigantically overwhelmingly hot this weekend! What's that you say, how could that make a delightful weekend? The answer my friends is go to Camp! I went to Camp on Saturday and stayed over Sunday night. I got Bethlynne and Mark to go with me. It was Mark's first time and I felt like a three year old showing her room to her favorite adult. It was a big hit! And my cousin Pete was there and Jean Marie and her girlfriend Lee (who's a nice, funny, polite Southern Belle) and brother Adam! And oh Mog you'd be so impressed, jean marie brought her niece Marina who is just a gorgeous gorgeous puppy! Big and fluffy and with all sorts of colors to her hair in like big splotches. Like the same map of splotches as Ben. So it was basically the usual, lake, swimming, floats, cards! Very delightful.
And when I got back oh my goodness! I went to my second home, Beale St. BBQ, about two seconds from my house. Adam and I eat there at a minimum once a week. It's awesome. And they had these specials! It's like they sat around and thought hmmm what would be the yummiest things ever for Michelle. Peach Margaritas and...wait for it...Root Beer Chicken Wings!! I kid you not!!! Suse is so freaking jealous right now! I mean they they were just so tasty.
The only low point of the weekend, and I think I have a solution already is my discovery that I've fallen a little out of love with The Point. The Point is a mile swim that I've done all my life at Camp, it's right of passage. The best most delcious excercise and I have loved it so long. But sometimes relationships are hard, and you have to work at them. So my plan is...I fell in love with the point initially by swimming with flippers. Than it became a point of pride to no longer use flippers. I'm going to buy flippers and swimming to the point will be fun again! Mark my words! Than I'll adjust back off them. It's cool. It's totally going to work, and my pride doesn't feel injured at all, because you know what, if it makes the point fun, than F it!
