I've been a lazy ass lately on blogging. Mainly because i have been on mini trips and reg trips here and there. So now i got stuck in Rob's lab for a couple of hours, i'm gonna recount what's been happening since July 14th.
The July 15th weekend Rob and I drove to IN Raccoon State Recreational Area for camping. It was my second time tent camping since we got that 4 people tent way back in March... I remember i had a great time except the heat was very exhausting. The first night we were there, we had some loud obnoxious college people next to us, howling all night over nothing. We brought my labtop and watched a movie (I don't remember what) and some "House M.D." It was very buggy when it got dark. I saw lots of doggies. That was the most memorable part. I made friends with a Lab and a Weim. Awwww... they are the dog of my dream! Weims are just so gorgeous~ Labs are just the most personable dog alive. I'd love to have my own lab one day and take her swimming with me. They just love water like ME!
Funny incident, the place was called Raccoon SRA for a reason definitely. There were lots and lots of Raccoons there!
NOTE TO SELF-- they love mashmallows, better hide them out of those suckers' sight!
They stole all out mashmallows from the bag, and "nicely" left the empty bag for us! The second night, we lored they out with more yummy treats and took pictures of those little thiefs. It was great. We went to the beach many times because of the temperature was just boiling all your lives away! We also went on a couple hiking trails, good exercise! the only thing I need then is a dog with me!
The week after that, I was hanging out with lixuan swimming a lot. Almost everyday. UNtil conditions on long allowed, then we went to the mall and bought shoes for her bf, and me, supposively the shopping buddy, bought white shirts and some other items. I had fun. I missed spending time with her. I also invited jane jane to dinner one or two nights. that was great. I can always count on Jane Jane. I LOVE MY GIRLS! I would love to marry all of them if I could~
Coming the July 22nd weekend, we went camping again at state park near here, it was only 30 min away, comparing to the 2 hrs in IN. This place had a lake and some beach as well. It was a nicer weekend then, the temp was around 70 and most cloudy but no rain. so very lay back and relaxing! We cooked and outdoor, had Rob's famous thick burgers YUMMY! You gotta try it !
Hiking, swiiming, relaxing, watching stars, sitting my the lake watch duckies go by... just the two of us~ hehehe jealous?? hahaha I love my honey boo!
After the camping trip, it was basically packing and cooking for my bear. I kinda went over board when i went shoping for food, and end up cooking all afternoon and all night till like 2 am to finish my 10 some dishes, including shrimp, ribs and lots of goodies~ Rob end up freezing half of them because it was so much, he couldn't possibly eat all that in a short period of time.
And OF course MR larsen ate all the meat first! The spaghetti sauce was the first to go, see how good they are? You can still get the recipe on one of my blog entrees.
Come the 26th, we drove to the bloomington airport, and only to found out the directions were wrong, it led you to the airport property, NOT the terminal. It was just so stupid, what kind of direction was that! Anyway, i made it ok, said bye to my bear...
My dad came to see us on the 27th, he stayed for 10 days. I kept him company most of the days. We dogsat Coda again. I love him, he was adorable as usual. The poor thing just got his "hoo-hoo" removed, if you know what i mean. BUt he was still in good spirit~
ON the 29th weekend, my family and I went to Hamilton Pool Preserve 30mi outside austin TX, it was about 3 hours away. It was unbelievable. We jumped into water from big rocks surround the pool. I had a little accident doing that also, bruised 3 of my toes badly... I had trouble walking for a couple of day. I am fine now... The week following, we went car shopping for my mom. We got her a brandnew infiniti G35 black. It was a beaut~ I got to drive it most of the time i was in houston, it rode nicely. The normal shopping drill with my dad for his friends and their kids and wives...
My dad left on the 5th Sat morning. Mom, my cousin Jenny and their co-worker Dana and Charles and I went to lake conroe for a day, we rented a pontoon for 4 hours. It was so much fun. Oh yea, i forgot the mention we had 2 big seafood dinners when my dad was in town... along with jenny's 26th b day. YUMMY crabs shrimps squid clam fishies and more YUM~
After that I packed and went back into my bear's arms~ Aw.. what a summer...
I WANT MY SUMMER BACK!
I don't remember when was the last time I wrote anything on here. So since then, not much has happened, but maybe because school has started yet again, my days seem to start moving at a turtle speed! dragful!!! School days suck so much, although I do enjoy seeing all my friends again. Speaking of friends, I really liked my schedule last semester I got to see all my friends in all my classes, Jane, janejane, kalyn, chaowen, guanguan... It was cool to always keep in touch so easily.
