Excuse that mess of grammar and other errors, I'm just insanely excited. As in insanely!!! It's only for five days but stiiiiiiiiiiiillllll. Isn't it just the perfect set up for a fluff novel? Girl accepts friends offer to stay at cottage just before over seas get away. They drive down and get settled. While trying out some sort of water event for the first time, girl falls off water board/tube/device she's on and gets saved by hunky old time cottage goer. He doesn't recognize her. She acts all coy. They fall in love and BAM, bestseller!
... Kay, so that's not going to happen but a girl can dream! *dreamy sigh*
I'm even going to TUBE for the first time. Yes, TUBE! I mentioned it to my parents at dinner and my mom freaked out. She was all, 'NO!'. I thought she was kidding so I just laughed but she actually freaked out. She said she was calling my friends mom to tell her I wasn't allowed anywhere close to a tube and I was so shocked and all, 'Mom! Everyone goes TUBING!'. Eventually, she just said it freaked her out but I could go. Tubing by the way, is when you're in an inflatable tube that's attached to a motor boat and you get pulled along really quickly and over waves and such. I was ecstatic when Madi told me but apparently, my parents didn't share the same views.
A lot of things I was shocked by their reaction. I think I'm pretty brave. I mean, I'm no where close to fearless but I do perform with little nerves for dance in front of judges and hundreds of people! I've been on T.V. I perform trio's and duets for band and I do public speeching with only the customary nerves. I also sing and act in front of loads of people and will walk up and talk to strangers. It's just me. I love roller coasters and doing anything that scares me. I also really want to zip line. Like really. I did on in Florida where you got shocked at the end and fell into the pool and it was AWESOME. Anyways, my parents have all seemed fine with all that too. I know my dads shy and my mom hated when I forced her on the behemoth, but it seems they've turned into scaredy-cats without my realizing!
Like I was describing how we were going boating and my dad got this wide eyed look and started lecturing me on how I HAD to wear a lifebelt of I'd be grounded for life. And when I mentioned that Madi was getting her boating liscense they freaked out... again. I mean, honestly? Do they trust me? I'm not foolish or reckless, I just like a thrill. It's weird, I'd have thought they'd be more excited. They're not huge boat people but come on, now! It's just kind of weird, if I do say so myself.
But now I have my next issue with this trip: clothing.
Now, at the risk of being the stereotypical girl character right now, I adore clothing (+shoes +jewelry +sunglasses +makeup). It came from my mother who is a major shopaholic. I used to like it but now that I've lost a bunch of weight and am more confident in myself and my style, I love it. But I've never been camping or cottaging or anything like that. My mothers rule for our vacations is she will not go anywhere she can't blow dry her hair. Generally, my sister and I agree with her - especially, that now I have to straighten my bangs each morning - because we're materialistic. My dad is perfectly fine with that, as well. While this cottage has washers and dryers, wi-fi and or course, electricity, it's still a cottage! Where I'll be walking around in a bathing suit and doing all that... cottagy stuff. My wardrobe is JUST NOT equipped for it. So, I've come up with a list.
What I Need For Cottaging Excursion
1. A Romper. They're awesome to just throw over a bathing suit and go. Plus, they look splendifical with cute pair of sandals. (: I'm thinking one with a print? And loads of color.
2. These rope sandals I found online and have fallen in love with. See here: http://www.southmoonunder.com/gp/Roxy-Braided-Rope-Flip-Flop__146388.aspx
3. Another bathing suit. I have the one but I need another one as my two others don't fit the best over my... erm... lady parts. :S Awks.
4. Some sort of hair product to product my locks from the sun. :/ There's so much choice but right now my hair is gross and splitting all over the place and BLECH, honestly. I'll ask Karen but I doubt she'll really have any suggestions. Erchs.
5. Some more of those braided bracelets to wear. I need to make them though, as I'm not paying 5 $ each for something I could make myself. yes, I am a talented bracelet-weaver. *bows*
That's all I can think of for now, but I'm still panicking. Who cares if it's two months away! AH! :S I'm also super excited, though. Walking around in swim suits + cover ups with Mad-la, sunglasses perched on the top of my damp hair (from the swim we'd had earlier, obviously), laughing to the sounds of my flip flops flopping. And then later in a pair of classy shorts and a nice top with my hair all curly and nice, sitting outside with barbecued food, talking amiably with her parents/grandparents/relative/lil` cutie sissypie. Can't you see it?
Well, I'm off I think. I have a Sims game waiting. Ta-ta!
Charlotte.
