An Afternoon By The Pool

Well today was an absolutely gorgeous day to lay out!! There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was piercing!! There was NO choice i HAD to lay out! so i get outside and start working up the nerve to jump in knowing that the pool is still a little chilly when i spot it. Floating on top to my left! A MOUSE!!! This is the downfall to having an inground pool. Everything gets in it!!! My personal favorite is the chipmunk cause they die swimming for their lives!!! They make an awful splashing sound and then drown. Their arms are still in swimming motion! Well anyways i get the mouse out and it lands with a thud out in the yard!

I jump in and the temp has dropped tremendously!!! It was wicked cold last night and the sun had not had time to make up for it yet! So i get out quickly and lay out on my chair. While laying there letting the sun bake my skin my friend Sarah whom i'm chatting with makes me feel bad! She informed me i needed to quit complaining about my cold pool and enjoy it to the fullest which i had not done because i hadn't used the diving board yet!!! THE DREADED DIVING BOARD! So after talking with her i march over to the diving board and prepare to dive! There is just one small problem, i am scared to death of diving off the diving board!!! Well i make some practice attempts on the board. Just 10 to 15 to get used to the motions. I TAKE OFF!!! Right foot, left foot and JUMP!!! As soon as i leave the bored i can't do it and change my mind!!! So i do an awkard cannonball. You know the one where you're only half together and gives you a major wedgie!!!! Thanks a lot Sarah!! Anyways i hit the water trying to swim around and enjoy it, but after my muscles started tightening up and i couldn't really move anymore i sort of frozeningly floated over to the edge and somehow miracously climbed out! Luckily the sun was still out to unthaw me! Well that is all for this event! Until next time.....

Well I Mowed Most Of My Lawn Today...

Well since i have yet to start work i have been doing different jobs for my parents. Today my job was to mow the lawn. You can see the wicked good job i did in the picture above! This section took me about an hour and a half to do. We have a new mower and it took me a little bit to figure it out, but i eventually showed it who was boss!! Though it did give me a very painful blister which has bothered me all day! Anyways, after this section was done i moved on around the back where my excitement for the day was to take place. As i was mowing i saw something slithering through the grass ahead of me. I ABSOLUTELY HATE SNAKES!!!!! They creep me out like no other animal yet i am completely fascinated by them as long as they are behind glass or on tv! WELL back to my story! So i see the snake making its run from my mower, but i sped up and got the better of him! hahahahahaha!!!! BUT WAIT!!!! Its still in one piece! I thought for sure it would be chopped up into little pieces so i ran over it once again!! To my great disappointment it is still in one piece even though it is dead so i run over it one more time and storm off!! Unfortunately i did not see the rock hidden in the grass nearby and i ran right over it! I kicked it off in disgust, but my mower seemed to make some weird noises every few seconds after that so i decided that i should finish the lawn another day. But a while later i was laying out by the pool and i had my mom go check out my snake and come to find out i had chopped the head right off!!! WAHOO!!!!!! Even though the snake was just a baby (as you can see from the pics) i am still quite proud of my kill! I just hope the momma doesn't come around anytime soon!!!
