I'm going to preface this by saying, I've had a teeny bit of wine and no dinner and I'm a little loopy. I feel like spinning in my chair until I fall out of it. That sounds like big fun. Also, my ear itches. It's really annoying.
So I'm home. I don't think I have writers block, at least, not yet. I thought a lot about writing this weekend however I didn't get to actually DO any.
I would like to take this time to say that my apartment is hotter than Hell. If we hadn't had such bad storms here this weekend, I would have left the windows open. But that was not an option.
I don't want to jabber on tonight. I would like to actually get to real writing. But Three Lakes was fun. In fact, it was funny. See, Ross got stung by bees.
You're probably thinking, that's not funny. But it was. Trust me.
We were at the hunting cabin that my family built back in the 1930's. It's on a private lake that we used to own. But that's another story. Even though we don't technically own it, we know the current owners and they don't care if we go down there since they don't often. So Ross and I had canoed around the lake, and we were putting the canoe back against the side of the cabin, and he let it slam against the side of the cabin.
What we didn't know, was that in the last week or two, a swarm of bees built a nest in the boarded up window on that side of the cabin. SO of course when the canoe slammed against the cabin, tons of bees came flying out, steaming mad. I, being the experienced nature woman that I am, did what you're supposed to do and kept completely still and silent.
Ross started screaming and yelling and of course he instantly got stung. Which made him scream and yell more, and dance around yelling swear words. He screamed just like a girl. It was hilareous. I tried to signal to him to be quiet, but eventually I just had to walk away because he was carrying on so. I was laughing at him, though I did feel bad because he was in pain, but the way he was screaming was just too funny. Over 2 bee stings. He had the sense to run away after that. Though by running away, he did risk them coming after him, but thankfully they didn't.
And he's fine. His hand swelled up for an hour or so, then it was fine.
That's my Three Lakes story for now. The rest of the weekend was fairly uneventful except for the bears.
Maybe I'll talk about the bears tomorrow. *Evil laugh*
Until tomorrow...
