Why I Kinda Like Summer

I am not a big fan of the sun (I am cursed with very fair white skin that burns easily), or the heat that usually accompanies the sun. I am however a BIG BIG fan of water, and summer is the best time to jump in the local river and either swim or raft. I've been doing a lot of both recently, and besides getting burned to the color of a ripe tomato it has been wonderful. :D

I am blessed to live within a tank of gas to as many as three major rivers in Oregon. Last week I went rafting twice, both over 3 hour trips. And so far this week I have been swimming three times, with another planned this evening. It helps that my immediate family has a pool as well as my aunts family. Hopefully I don't get burned out (literally) too soon. I want to enjoy all that this season has to offer!

Why baking is dangerous...

It was late one night (it always seems to happen) and I was hungry (also always seems to happen), so I decided to make biscuits. I preheated the oven and the baking started. When they were done I used a towel to remove the cookie sheet. I was being careful, but this is what happened!!

Stupid oven! Stupid baking sheet! Stupid biscuits! Stupid me and my stupid grumbling stomach!!

*Deep Sigh*

Anyways...

Being white sucks!

I am WAY too white. I spent maybe an hour outside and I am sunburned. It hurts. It has faded since yesterday, so you can imagine how bad it was. It hurts to lift my arms. :(



My cousin, Brittney, spent the same amount of time in the sun and is now brown. WTF!

:D Aw, well...

Music

"I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales" -August Rush

Music, to me, is magical. It can make anything possible. Music can open up a person's mind and heart to a world they never knew existed. Music can make you laugh, cry. It can make to fall in love. Music transports you to another place, of warm and emotion. A good piece of music, regardless of the genre, will make you think and feel.
