Weather's Here, Wish You Were Great!

I spent a lovely week with the family in Fernandina Beach, Florida visiting the grandparents. We all enjoyed reconnecting with them. Aside from that, we went to the beach nearly every day. I must say, it was quite the novel experience to go into the ocean and NOT be completely numb from neck down! The only thing I did not particularly care for was the humidity. It reminded me of being at a concert where everyone is really sweaty and smashed together. You stand on your tip toes and jump to try and get where the air is fresh. Only in Florida there is no top. The humidity knows no bounds. Doesn't having water in the air sort of rob air of its essence??? Nevertheless, family, sunshine, great water, and an escape from Provo: Definitely can't complain too much!

We All Make Mistakes

Throughout the past 21 (almost 22) years of my earthly existence, I have fallen victim to various fads, trends, styles, ideas, etc. I look back on those pitfalls and cringe. However, I'm sure I there is much more "what was I thinking"to come before I "follow the light." So let's take a look at my list of shame:

-Circa 1995- Was thrilled to receive a Beanie Baby stuffed animal. Aren't those suppose to be worth thousands by now???

-Circa 1996- Owned a Tomagatchi/Giga pet. Yes, I actually paid money to care for an intangible pet.

-Circa 1997- Fan of Spice Girls- enough said.

-Circa 1999- Owned and wore a pair of Dr. Martin shoes- the clunkiest "everyday" shoe known to mankind.

-Circa 2000- Owned and wore a pair of Sketchers boots- the second clunkiest "everyday" shoe known to mankind.

-Circa 2001- Bought the Dixie Chicks CD. The thought that I spent my hard earned babysitting money on country music haunts me to this day.

-Circa 2002- Applied a set of do-it-yourself nails. I think they stayed on my fingers a good 2 hours.

-Circa 2003- Thought it was a good idea to eat an entire pumpkin pie with just one other friend.

-Circa 2004- Saw no problem with driving around aimlessly with friends for multiple hours.

-Circa 2006- Wore a cropped sweater, a style that did me no favors.

-Circa 2006- Ate constantly on account of having the Dining Plus meal plan.

I'm sure there are a great deal more embarrassing fads that I subscribed to. These are just the ones I find particularly shameful. I can hardly wait to see what trend train I hop onto next!

I Love Color
