Maybe The Best Week Ever... Possibly...

Well. It is finished. Another week at Blaine come and gone. As we sit back and recall the fond memories of the week, I can't help but think of all the things I learned...

- I learned that it's still too soon for mustaches. They are generally frowned upon. (Though- it's the only thing I can think of that got me out of that speeding ticket! Highway Patrol still loves a good stache!!!) As for me... I say long live Magnum P.I.

- I learned that ducks poop in the water. Sure- you might be saying, "Well that's silly." But what you might not know is that while that poop sits in the water it fosters little microbial bacteria-type thingies, and when unsuspecting fathers swim in those same shallow areas where the ducks like to do their business because his son WILL NOT swim in the deeper part (off the dock) that those little microbial dogs will embed themselves in your skin pores. The result of this little action leaves the look and feel of a mosquito bite. Incredibly itchy. Unbelievably itchy. Imagine that poor father, having so much fun with his children, with literally hundreds of those all over his flesh... Seriously, Blaine is so FREAKING fun!!!

- I learned that none of my in-laws know what kind of animal their spouses kiss like. Shame.

- I was reminded that my dog is a certified freak. He loves boats and swimming. If the boat leaves without him (even if there are still people on the dock) he virtually throws a conniption fit!!!

- I learned a LOT about nutrition. I lot!!! My nutrition I.Q. was blown through the roof.

- I learned that my brother-in-law thinks I look like Fred Flintstone. Apparently not in the complementary way that I first received it. Crap.

- I learned that speedos are totally back in style. Connor and Jesse were killin' it in those trunks!!!

- I came to the indisputable conclusion that Ernest Hemingway is a literary genius. That guy! I wish I had a sliver of that guys writing ability. Just a sliver!!!

- I learned that the Church is true wherever you are in the world... cause the Fast Sunday testimonies were just as crazy and weird in Montana as they are here.

- And finally... I learned that I shouldn't spend SO much time sun bathing, or else this happens...
