I have been putting aside money for this for a while now and have save up quite a bit. I didn’t realize just how much until I checked the account I set up for it. Now I can really go hog wild and buy all new stuff. Some of it I can get cheap at Walmart, but others I plan on paying a little more for.

Fortunately for me, I have some great friends that love it as much as I do and we had a lot of fun. Pitchers of beer and mound of crab legs to pick and lots of really good conversation make for a wonderful night. Now that I am home, I am just trying not to move too much because I am so stuffed. I know that I am going to sleep really good tonight, that’s for sure.

Camping will save us money on a lot of food and such. We can make breakfast each morning and dinner at night. The only food we will have to buy will be lunch where ever we happen to be at the time. Since the festival is about music and art and stuff, there is no telling where we might be. I am so stoked to be able to go this year, because last year I didn’t make it to this festival. I cannot wait!

Sometimes I take the regular boat tour with all of the other tourists, but every now and then I take an all day tour on one of their private boats that is much smaller and faster. They take us out to different spots on the private tour that are much farther out. There is one place they call the Duck Club. It is a hunting camp with a house on it and it is very peaceful and pretty to visit. I make sure I take lots of pictures when I go. I really enjoy taking pictures of the wild life out there and I always see something new when I go.

There was a dog there this past weekend. She stayed in the water trying to catch fish the whole day while we were there. It was so cute. Every now and then, she would go to a shallower part and try to catch crayfish. I have never seen a dog do anything like that before in my life. She must have lived nearby though, because she had a collar with a tag on it and around five o’clock she left. If she hadn’t had that collar we probably would have taken her home with one of us. She was so sweet. I hope she is there next weekend if we go.

I will probably buy more of them as I go through them quickly during the summer months. I have a bad habit of getting them wet, but I don’t care. They aren’t very expensive and are easily replaced. I do have to buy a new pair of hiking boots though. I usually don’t wear boots during the summer, but we are going camping a lot this summer and I am going to need them. If you really like sandals, then I recommend Payless for good leather sandals or sandals of any kind. They usually have a large selection.

I should mention it to my boss, because she told me when it happened to charge the company for the tire. After all I was using my car for work, so she said they are responsible for it. I make sure to use someone else’s car now if I have to run to a job site. I don’t like breaking down.

Anyway, this guy is taking me to the Japanese Steak House I love so much.He asked my friend what my favorite restaurants are and she told him. I like that he had the initiative to ask her what I like before hand. That means he wants me to really enjoy myself and that is amazing. I love the Japanese Steak House. They cook the food right in front of you, and do all these little tricks so it is like a show at the same time. Not to mention that the food is fucking awesome. I cannot wait for some hibachi shrimp tonight.

A long time ago I used to deliver papers before I found this job. I had to deliver to Starbucks and that is how I actually started going there. I was clueless about their coffee and just thought they were over priced. Then one day I was really tired and on my route and wanted a cup of coffee, so I decided to get one while I was there. I have been addicted to them ever since. It isn’t hard to get addicted to Starbucks. Try it once and you will see what I mean.

I got this one when I went to college and there is a lot of history in it. My friends make fun of me because I wont replace it but they just don’t understand. I guess I am kind of a pack rat. I don’t like to get rid of things that have memories. My family isn’t surprised by this at all. I have always been sentimental about my stuff. No matter though, I am not worried about what everyone else thinks at all. I just laugh and say whatever. Anyway, have a good day.
