I’ve been pretty much landlocked for weeks now and this Panda needs water (specifically ocean) in order to survive.  That and sun and crushes and laughter.  Today?  We will go to Chena Lake…and when I say “we” I actually mean me, by myself. 

76 degrees in Alaska today.  Hawt.  First things first though:  vitamin water and energy drink thang in a can!  GO!  I end up at the corner station, go in, get ma’ stuffs, walk back out to get into my car.  Yea.  You know where this is going, huh?  Jacked up red hot truck pulls out from the pumps with 2 dudes in it…rolls over behind my car.  Passenger dude leans out and says, “I love you.”  HA!  WHA??!  I smile and do the stun gun laugh (it didn’t work—he’s still talkin’).  Dude:  “That’s not a bad opening line is it?  How ‘bout I follow it up by taking you out to dinner tonight?”  Well, dude.  That’s pretty good, but Imma busy tonight, sawreee!!!  Truck pulls slowly away (thank goodness, because I couldn’t get out with yer big truck in back of my wee lil’ Honda Element). 

Ok then.  Let’s do this lake thang!

It’s beautiful here.  There are small lakes all aboot and each one has different things going on.  I pulled up to the first one and there are 3 military dudes fishing and a family in an RV having lunch.  Hiked a wee bit on the back dirt road, then drove around to the swimming lake.  And lakes here are pretty much pond size…GAH!  Swimming lake covered in a blanket of screaming and running children!  AH!  No!!  The beach part is fairly small too so it may be awkward for me to just plop down by a family and run into the water, huh?  Plus………..the children………..they are EVERYWHERE!!!!  GO!  I found a path that went through the woods and connected to another small lake.  Took some pictures, walked back, got in my car and drove to the first lake!  This un’s quiet and if I sneak through the woods area here no one will even know that I am here!  I sat on the edge of the lake at a picnic table for…ever!!!  It was amazing and quiet and the military dudes completely ignored me!  YAY!!!!!

Back to the cabin!   Hanging out on the deck with a PBR and some sunshine!  AH!  Eat Amber!  1 cheese stick, a bread roll, and ½ bag of single serving Fritos do not constitute a healthy diet!  Stop it!!! 

Today is Thursday.  I’m pretty sure Ryan came home after work and then we went out?  I don’t remember…AH!  It’s not written down anywhere and I didn’t log anything on the Facebook.  I’m gonna assume that we went to the Marlin again.  Hmmmmmmm…(shrug)

I do know that we were up late again because the sun was still out, but it was midnight.  Awesome. 

WAIT!  NO!  Phineas Gauge was THIS night!!!!  We did go to the Marlin!  Ryan played!  Phew!  I remembered!!!  YAY!!!!!  Duff dude was THIS night.  Ok, so the last part of 07/20 was wrong...please re-read as if it's the 21st.  Gosh!  Probably should have done this earlier, huh?  Whoops!
