Got a whole year older.
Got a haircut that took me a while to get used to.
Worked way too much.
Went to a graduation at Frederica Academy. Got sunburned.
Did a cooking demonstration about lemon curd ... like a rock star.
Developed an OCD-like fixation with creating playlists/CDs/CD covers/jewel case covers for gifts, much to Joel's dismay (remember, everything I try to do ends up being the most complicated possible).
Went to Orlando to see my roommates from college (Emily, Cristall & Molly). More on this later (for real, I promise!) but for those who want a teaser, know that I held an alligator in a Florida swamp in the middle of the night. This is how it felt:
If you're wondering what that face is, it was me trying to smile while feeling scared witless. And then they told me I had to put it back in the swamp. Didn't like that one bit:
But once I flung it back to its murky home, I reflected for a second, and felt pretty proud of myself. Molly (pictured below) had a similar experience (more pictures to come ...), and we pretended we were really tuff ... even though we all know I'm not.
Since I got back, I've avoided cooking, cleaning, laundry and ironing, worked a ton, and put together a fireside for youth on how to "Get an 'A' at Getting a Job." Two youth came.
So, that's been my month. How was yours?

I am still laughing. I love those pictures! My May sounds like yours, and it sounds like the best part was Girl's Weekend!!! yahoo!
I love the pictures. So fun. Joseph wants to know if they were nice alligators. Rick is jealous-he really wants to go there, too. I can't believe you were in Orlando too...next time I should check in with you first. Glad you had fun & I'm looking forward to hearing about the rest of the adventure!
P.S. I too have avoided laundry, cooking, & cleaning since being home. Thank goodness for 3/$1 taco night.
Well, I didn't hold any gators, so my May really pales in comparison.
Too bad about the fireside. I'll bet it was really great, though.
Speaking of the gym, are you doing that wellness plan with Sea Island? I just found out about it yesterday and that sounds like a great incentive plan. And what gym did you join? Probably the Y, huh?
I have to hand it to you for accomplishing a brave feat like that. I get all discombobulated if I get too close to a gecko! You've always been my hero, but now you're a demigoddess!!
love the alligator picture
Thank you. I feel much better now that I know you held an alligator! WOO!
Thanks for all the comments! I was afraid no one would read my blog anymore. I love hearing from you all! Cristall - you bet Girls Weekend was my favorite part of May ... and we've got to come up with a better name for it. Cheryl - I'm glad I'm not the only one who shirks housework. Amanda - we did join the Y. I love swimming, and now I can swim laps AND work on my tan at the same time! Gotta love the Wellness Package! Tawny - You are so the hero in our friendship, and I think you know this subconciously. :) Lori - thanks!, and Beth - I'm glad you like it. It was your snarky comments to Joel that reminded me how much I like this blogging stuff. Oh, and we can kayak here anytime you want to come over!
I don't think I can spell the laughing sound I made when I saw those pictures - YOU rockSTAR you! I'm sooo glad you had a great Girl's Weekend - you totally deserve it. What a strange and busy year you've had!! How was my May, you ask? Uh, I can't remember May ... how's that for an answer? See ya soon!
Very nice May! The gator photos are excellent. Keep up the posts!
Oh no, we are going to have a wii bowling tournament for the reunion. You only have to play one game. You can do it.
