Days 343-344

Saturday morning I went paddleboarding for the first time ever! Michelle has been wanting us to go for awhile now, but I haven't been able to make it until now. I am glad I went - new experiences can be a good thing. But, it is not a sport I am gung-ho to take up. In fact, I think I would perfectly alright if I never did it again :) It was not too bad: I managed to not fall in and it was not nearly as difficult to maintain my balance as Michelle had made it out to be. However, the current and the wind made it very easy to get away from the docks and VERY hard to get back. Thankfully, one of the guys in the group was able to help me get turned around. Man though, 20 minutes of paddling like a surfer (I had to lay down to go anywhere at all) HURTS! I thought my arms were going to fall off! So, there you go: I got cardio & an arm toning workout. :)

Saturday afternoon Johanna and I drove up to College Station. This past week was their GLBT Awareness Week on campus and they were having their annual Gender Bender Ball fundraiser. Marco invited us up for the festivities. It is awesome how defined my calf muscles now look when I wear high heels! I wore shorts to show them off :) Joh & I looked HOT!!! We ate a HUGE Mexican dinner before going dancing though and that was a bad idea! THankfully, the nausea passed quickly once I sat down for a few minutes. The show was super fun! These queens were borderline pro and were over the top flashy. We also saw Erin which was good - I hadn't seen her in over a year. Overall, I think I must have burned off at least my dinner sweating and dancing!

Sunday I was SO tired. We drove back after lunch and got home around 3:30pm. I laid in my chair on my porch watching TV for a bit and almost fell asleep. To avoid that I moved inside and began cleaning out my craft room. It has been the dumping ground for all of my stuff lately and if I am ever going to scrapbook again I need to reorganize it. Unfortunately, that kept me awake until almost midnight.
