banana boat...

With all honesty I finally get to say I have been too @#*%)! busy to update my life. Especially for those of you I never get to call... this blog lifeline has not been very supportive of you lately and I apologize.

For starters - summer is here! Yay! Even though it feels like I have not stopped running since I had the pseudo diploma in hand (which was amazing by the way) I would take a hectic summer over a crazy school year anyday. Okay, who wouldn't, but nonetheless, it has been nice. Clint and I took a roadtrip up to KC this past weekend to do some shopping and BBQing, and then headed to Lake of the Ozarks for a mini-vacation. One of his friends owns a lakeside condo, so I guess you could say we weren't exactly roughing it. Breakfast at noon, boat around all day, lazy river (yes, their resort had one of those too), etc. Perhaps coming from a small town has not prepared me for the luxury of this lake, but holy toledos. There were million dollar homes scattered on the shore every which way the eye could see. Personal docks with yachts, speed boats, and five Seadoos attached were the norm. Um... and I thought my parents 15 footer was nice. Ha.

The trip was wonderfully relaxing, well, until the end. The end when I discovered I have motion sickness when traveling 60mph around curves and hills galore. The type of hills that your stomach stays at the top and your heart sinks for a few seconds. What happened to the daredevil rollercoasters of my youth? Crap I am getting old. Twenty-two going on sixty. Not that sixty year olds are... well... old, but you don't see many at theme parks. Anyway, we pulled over at a gas station until my head stopped spinning and my stomach decided to hang onto its breakfast. I doped up on some Dramamine and we headed onward. Of course the meds didn't really take effect until long after we were out of the winding roads, but it was comforting never the less. The drowsying effect was also useful to blame me oversleeping work the next morning. Oops... But we made it, and have better tans (my skin is still probably partially see-through) to prove it.

Side note, it is thundering and storming like a mother trucker outside right now. Dang.

I guess that's all I will live to tell about for now. I have an early morning, which, followed by a late work night, are not usually very pleasant to wake up for. So sleep tight everyone, and sit tight as well. I will be back soon.

Oh! And I posted a few pics at the lake. Check it out.
