I know, I know, I know...I suck at consistantly blogging

So, I know I said that I was going to tell you how camping went. Most everyone by now knows, but I'll give a quick rundown just the same.

Saturday, when Annie and I arrived in Tahoe, Erika and her husband were already there. Annie and I got out of the car, walked to the ice chest and immediately started drinking. Can I just say, setting up tents and organizing a campsite is much more successful when you aren't drinking.

After Mel and her husband arrived, the fun began. Shots of Patron, Oatmeal cookie shots, Smirnoff Ices, beer, vodka/cranberry, etc. We didn't stop until we basically were either going to pass out or throw up...and some of us did (not me...for once).

Sunday morning, we got up and had breakfast. As I was sitting in my chair by the not-burning fire, a bug flew into my ear. Yes, a bug flew in my ear!! I could hear/feel it flying around and freaked out just a little bit. We poured water in my ear and took Q-Tips to my ear. I either drowned the little bastard or squashed it. I'm going with drowned it. It's less gross.

Annie and I came back to Sacramento Sunday night and had to work Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday, after work, I got in the car and drove BACK UP to the campground until Thursday.

The 4th of July was tons of fun. We went to the pool at Erika's timeshare and I went out on the jetski for the first time. Having never been on one before, I wasn't sure what to expect, so I went out with JD, Erika's husband. After a quick lesson, I was left on my own to travel the Lake. I stayed somewhat close and got it up to about 30 mph before I'd freakout a little at the speed and think I was going to fall off. I was out in the water far enough to see the burn zone from the Angora Fire the week before. It's so horrible.

That night, we went to the timeshare again to sit out on the deck to watch the fireworks. I swear, everyone else on the deck hated us. We could not stop laughing. The fireworks set off were happy faces, stars, hearts and your regular round ones. What was making us laugh was that the hearts and happy faces were upside down. I honestly don't know why we found that so funny.

I had to come home again on Thursday, but only after more hanging out at the pool/beach and at the campsite.

In all, I had a really great time, and for those of you who doubted me (DREW), a bear did not eat me, I was not a total wussy girl and I will go camping again.
