Alright, here we go again.

This is my third time re-starting this blog. I seem to always forget that I have a blog, and by time I remember that I have one, I would have changed so much that my old posts don't reflect me or anything going on in my life at all.



People always say that third time's a charm, right?



I've spent a great six days in the lovely Ft. Myers/Naples, FL. I spent some time with some good friends, Debbie and Wane and we did all sorts of things. Everything ranging from Algebra homework to beating the Sharks in basketball--Debbie and I could totally go pro if we wanted to. (Haha, as if.)


We spent a lot of time at the bookstore, which was completely and totally fine by me. I wish there was a bookstore close to my house, because I would definitely adopt their habits.



They were both way too good to me. They bought all of my food, drinks, coffee... and Wane cooked this delicious lemon chicken. Just thinking about it has me salivating. I had an absolutely amazing time with them, despite being a bad influence on Debbie. (Between Facebook and Tetris, she'll never sleep!)


Now Wane, fo'rizzle, is pretty much the nicest guy I've ever met. I really didn't know guys that nice existed.



So, after a few days of aligators, starfish, sharks, bookstores, coffee, Facebook, YouTube, basketball, Tetris ("That was NOT what I meant to do, at ALL!" -Debbie), shells, and laughter, I was summoned by my lovely father to my aunt's house--Just a short drive from Debbie and Wane's house.



It was nice to see some cousins that I haven't seen for a while and whatnot. However, my dad was bound determined that he was going swimming in my cousin, Laurie's pool, despite the chilly air outside. Of course, I was dumb enough to follow suit. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, but hey--the pool was heated.



Yesterday evening we had a cookout type thing and my cousin, Tyler, and a couple of his friends took me to the community pool. I thought that pool was warm. The Florida boys thought differently. I was warm and content walking back to Laurie's house--The boys were shivering and complaining.



Then we get back to Laurie's house, along with their heated swimming pool. I jumped in thinking that it was like a hot tub while the Florida boys STILL thought it was freezing cold. Ridiculous, I say. They started doing all these 'manly' things, but instead made complete fools out of each other (and themselves).


So, that was...amusing. I beat one of the guys in a race and I think it put quite the damper on his pride. Whoops.


Today my aunt took my dad and I to the beach, which was a lot of fun. It was the perfect weather, too! We ate at a place called Pete's Time Out, which my dad thought was the greatest thing, despite the poor tasting food.


So in short, my vacation has been absolutely amazing thanks to great food, people, and weather.

(And I will definitely be back again.)
