I have neglected my blog like that time I neglected our poor guinea pig for so long that flies took over his cage. It was so disturbing coming home to a ceiling covered in flies so I did what I knew how to do, scrame for my mom. She did the only thing she could think of and sucked them off the ceiling with the vacuum. My dreams were filled with nightmares of swarms of flies coming out of the vacuum at night and eating me alive. I just got back from an awesome vacation to Lake Powell with my family. This year was much better, I didn't get a single blister and Nick managed to avoid JD Perkins and his ticket writing need. I don't have the pictures to upload so I will do that tomorrow but I wanted to post a few things that I learned this trip.
One - Sunscreen really does work. After years and years of receiving a third degree burn the first day of Lake Powell, I decided to put some on. Heavenly. My legs did get burned but only 1/1000 of the usual. For a brief moment I considered getting SPF85 tattooed all the way around my ankle in thanks.
Two - Every family needs a chiropractor and a Dr. on hand during boating trips. Sitting in the front bow during a four hour sight seeing excursion really does a number on your spine. I think we all went into temporary spouts of paralysis. A doctor could also be useful for all those back breaking, head slamming, face kicking that goes on.
Three - When someone tells you to touch the window while passing a semi, don't do it. Why you ask? I will play it out for you.
Nick - When we pass this semi, put your hand on the window.
Me - Uh why?
Nick - Just do it.
Me - WHY?
Nick - You'll feel the pain. Hurry just do it!
Me - Okayyyy.
I hesitantly reach up and put my hand on the window expecting to feel a thousand watts of electricity to shoot through my body. We pass and nothing happens.
Nick - Did you feel it?
Me - No, what was I supposed to feel?
Nick - You didn't feel the window pane?

Ha ha ha. Nick is soo funny!
So Lake Powell huh? Was the weather as delightful there as it has been here?
LOL! I totally would have fallen for that one too! dumb girls!
hehe...window pane...goodness, thats exactly the sort of joke my hubby would play one me. Did I ever tell you about how he was a german shepherd in another life? Well, I might have to blog about the joke that seriously almost ended our relationship...lol. Oh and I hate sunblock, cause I want skin cancer. JP This is the one year, I've been plastering it on. I think it might be a little too late at 31 to keep my skin looking young :( O-well.
