See Katie Kayak!

Ok, so yesterday was lots of fun!
In the morning I had a phone conference with my boss and another professor in New York state. We talked about surveys and other such things. This was pretty good and it kind of got me excited about my project again.

Then, we had a little party at my other job for one of the guys who had received a big award that day. So that was fun too.

THEN! We got out the kayaks and put them in the river and had a great time! It was just me, Emily, Liz and Tim but it was so amazing. I forgot how much I missed being out on the river. Liz was a little nervous cuz it was really windy and the river was up a lot because of the rain we've been having but we were just fine. In fact at one point there were almost some mini rapids. Nothing nearly dangerous but still exciting because usually its just flat with a slow current.
I was planning to jump in and swim but by the end I was kind of tired and plus it wasn't a very good spot for it, so I'll do that next time.
We also decided that we're going to try and go out at least once a week if we can! This not only means loads of fun but also huge biceps like Dusty! (Oh yeah, he gave me a hug today, I know you're so jealous Drew : D)

So then after I came back and showered I hung around and ate some really yummy nachos I made for dinner. These were not just any nachos because they had refried beans, salsa and cheese! Yum!

After that around 8:45, Beth, Mary Ellen and I drove to a nearby drive-in. We were a little worried about the area of town it was in, but it ended up being just fine (mostly). We saw Kung-Fu Panda and Indiana Jones. They were both good, but I think we had such a good time because it was a beautiful night, we snuck in lots of snacks and it was just great to hang out and make fun of the movies. I'm glad that Mary Ellen had such a good time though because she had never been to a drive in before. Maybe we'll get to go back soon then.

I was pretty tired this morning then because we were up so late last night. But this morning I got up and the three of us plus Dave went to a paddle, kayak thing at one of the parks around here. We meet Emily and Liz there who were working a table/booth. The weather was really gross and rainy, but we still tried out some of the kayaks, which was fun. I had to take over working the table with Tim for a while. After that, nothing much happened. Mostly I had to drive a huge van back which I was proud of myself for doing. Then I took a nap and hung out with Beth and watched 10 things I hate about you.

Oh, and we saw these two crazy guys out Beth's window dancing around with these light up ball things. And we were so curious that we (me, Beth and Anna) took a walk to see what they were doing. At first we thought they were training to be Jedi's because they were all like, swoosh, spin dance, lighted colorful balls on ropes, we're cool. But when we got close it was just these two crazy students dancing around in the parking lot jamming out to some music coming from there car.
Oh the strange things that people do late at night to amuse themselves....

Now to sleep because we are going to a festival tomorrow. So much fun to be had!

Good song I was listening to at work.

I am very jealous of your delicious sounding nachos--I've been craving cheese recently.

Oh, and I also wondered, you did find Indiana Jones (especially the end) just at least a little bit ridiculous, right?
