DAY TWO

We spent our first night with Jarna.

^This is Jarna.

She was my manager over the summer and while we were working in Moses Lake- she just up and decided to move there. I'm still having a hard time understanding why someone would ever do that.. move the Moses Lake that is. But whatever. Ha.

While at Jarna's we enjoyed great company- made a few new friends [Hailey (Jarna's Roommate) and Scooter (real name John the 3rd?)]- and enjoyed good sleep- surprisingly enough [since I slept on a recliner].

In the morning, Jarna made us breakfast [Cream of Wheat] And we were on the road again headed towards Camano Island around 10:30 a.m. And somehow [because we made stops at the Columbia River and Snoqualmie Falls] our 3 hour trip turned into a 6+ hour trip.

^Carly getting rid of all the tumble weed shoved up the front of the car.

^The Columbia River.

Lucky for us [having been blessed so incredibly much on the trip already] the camp attendant at Cama Beach was still there when we arrived at the campground half an hour after the check-in hut had already closed down. We would have been in so much trouble if he wasn't there! He helped us figure out where to go, where to park, and gave us information about the shuttle, cabin, key, and everything else.

He also talked to the shuttle driver about helping us down to our cabin with all our stuff [since the shuttle is the only thing that goes down to the beach]. We were so thankful for that.

^Cama Beach greatness.

After dark we stayed inside the cabin and played Farkle while watching Monsters Inc.

Yes- Monsters Inc.

It was the only way to keep the murder mystery scenarios from consuming our minds. Think about the story- 3 girls going on spring break to a cabin by themselves blah blah blah...

FREAKY.

- 30 Degrees Is Welcoming Weather? -

WE'RE BACK.

Better post=probably tomorrow evening... since I will be sleeping until then.

I NEED GROCERIES. But, I will not go get them.
TOO TIRED.

Oh well..

I have 1.5 donuts from Moses Lake, WA. that I can eat for breakfast.

- Maybe It's A Tradition -

Sometimes I wonder why I would stay up all night so I could ride in the car 30 minutes to the closest Denny's (Tremonton) and have free breakfast at 5:50 A.M. then ride in the car 45 minutes (we missed the exit the first time, ha) to home. Maybe it's tradition, since Elicia, Megan and I went last year also. Free breakfast that early in the morning seems a tiny bit crazy.. I don't usually eat until 9 anyway, at which point I would still be hungry even if I ate at 5:50 in the A.M. Get what I'm saying? Ha.

^ Macky, the roommate one who drove to Denny's.

^Megan Bell closing her eyes to the brightest flash you'd ever see.

^5:00 looking like a huge stoner.

^So cold and icy outsidE!

^ MMMM.

The last time I stayed up for all hours of the night was probably last spring. No doubt I only do it when I have good cause to, and last night that was the case. A) Because I had to be awake long enough to go to Denny's. B) Mackenzie and I beat a level of Katamari Damacy that I've been STUCK ON FOREVER. C) Mackenzie and I baked the pieces out of cookie dough ice cream to see if it would make cookies.. And THAT my friends.. was an event worth while. Ha.

^ Abigail tried to stay up all night but wasn't successful.

^Our little cookie dough morsels. ^Not cooked.^Cooked.

^ The result.
Rock hard wanna-be-cookie chips.

*100% Wouldn't recommend the above activity.

- Whole Grain Oatmeal -

Sometimes I want to quit my job.
And one day.. I will.
But that day is nowhere near.

This morning I woke up at 7:00 A.M. (first time in a LONG time) so I could go to the library early and finish typing my Opinion Essay for English 2010. I was seriously afraid I wouldn't get it done on time, but I did (15 minutes late counts as on time, right?). I'm usually a pretty bad procrastinator but never this bad. I planned on working on my paper all weekend, literally. I sat there on Thursday and told myself I'd do it, and I sat and sat until the weekend was over- paper still unfinished. Then, the night before the paper was due, last night, our internet went out so I couldn't use my sources I had looked up. Talk about drive me crazy. Pineview is making me lunatic. No internet, no hot tub, no parking, no silence, no sun, no boys over the age of 18, no money remaining after paying for rent, utilities, and shallow basketted washing machines.

I haven't been very healthy lately. I mostly only be negative, eat goodies, and I have lost my friendly sleeping habits. So, I'm going to work on that. I've started exercising three times a week but weight gain tells me that's not good enough. Ha. Guess it's about that time in life when I stop eating whatever I want. Bummer. That almost makes me wish we lived back in the day, when people didn't have a choice. When people didn't have processed foods and they were forced to work their butts off just to survive and eat nothing but whole grain oatmeal, ash cakes, and wild flavorless animals killed by pa.

Maybe I'll be a Witch for Halloween.

- Home For Labor Day Weekend -

The night before Labor Day we slept outside on the trampoline!

And when morning came, we got up bright and early so we could spend the day in Heber, at an international sheepdog competition.. So fun!

After the dog shows, we went to nasty Sonic for lunch.

And though it was only 2:00-3:00 p.m. by the time we headed home. We were all pooped.

Twas a wonderful holiday.
