What I did over my Summer Vacation
Sep. 2nd, 2003 11:25 pmSweet Jeebus and the yak he shaved.... is this what it feels like to be human?
I have been in the most phenomenal mood since sometime early Sunday evening. I'm happy. I'm actually relaxed. I slept like a log last night. I'm not exhausted. I don't have a headache. My back doesn't hurt. I have self-confidence.
Did the apocalypse happen while I was in Michigan, and this is heaven? How long will it last? As Kelly would say, "touch wood". No, not that kind of wood. Get your mind out of the gutter for once. Pervert.
My week of vacation started out with a really bizarre dream, and even more bizarre immediate after-effects of said dream, and ended with a mini-meltdown that blossomed into a wonderful purging of the soul that must be the reason behind my great mood.

I practiced for like, 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day every day except Wednesday. I swam, but not as much as I probably should have. I did some kayaking on Sunday afternoon, and I'm not even sore! I have a kick ass tan. Except for the raccoon eyes where I had my sunglasses on all week.
On Wednesday we took a day trip up to Mackinac Island (here's a map for the person who was asking me about the location yesterday- in contrast, where we were vacationing was here). I've heard tons about it, but never had the chance to go up there before. Its absolutely gorgeous! There are some tourist-trappy type things up there, and we did take a tour of the historic fort and all. But the majority of the island is inhabited by these ancient victorian houses, really well kept up and looking incredibly beautiful. There is no vehicular traffic allowed on the island, so there are a lot of horses and bicycles around. We ate our dinner of sandwiches on the rocky beach, with a view of the mainland on one side and the victorian-spotted bluffs on the other. There are some really shmancy hotels on the island, including the Grand Hotel which was used in the movie Somewhere in Time, but there are also some really adorable- and affordable- Bed and Breakfast type places. It would be a really lovely place to vacation, if I'm ever rich. And on the way home, Libby and her mom let me take a ride over the Mackinaw Bridge, which has the most amazing view of water and islands and land I've ever seen in my life.
I think, though, the best memory of the week might have to be when Kelly and I made Sunday spend about an hour and a half tucking us in on Sunday night. Hahahaha! Sunday on Sunday....... hahahaha....... anyway...... all I got to say to you is
YOU A SUCKAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem.
Anyway. I had an incredible time. I did exactly what I wanted to do. And I'm happy.
