So, it’s 3:06 in the morning, and i’m blogging. WTF?
I have nothing witty or interesting to say at the moment. So, i’ll tell you a little story! This should give you some insight on some of the dumb shit that tends to happen to me.
I went on a glorious, much needed vacation to Hawaii in September of 2007! I went on this vacation with my maternal grandparents(whom paid for it!), my favorite cousin Angie, my uncle and his(at the time) new wife. After traveling starting at 4:00AM Utah time, we arrived in beautiful Kauai around 2:00PM their time. I was so psyched to be there, and so excited to not have jet lag. When we got to the condo, before even settling in, my ass was antsy to get to the ocean!
So, Angie and I headed down. Beach front condos totally rock…FYI! I still remember the sight of it, absolutely breath taking. I hadn’t been to a beach in for-friggin-ever! Probably close to 14 years!! I pretty much run into the ocean, start screaming and run out of the ocean(mind you, my cousin had barely set foot in the water and once i screamed she was half way back to the condo…haha!). I look at my foot where it felt like i’d stepped on something sharp, no blood. After a few minutes, it swells and turns bright red. We walk back to the condo, well I limped. only to have my Gramps look at it and say, “Yep! It’s a jelly fish sting! I’d pee on you, but I just went!” I just about barfed, but politely said, “Thanks for the offer!”.
Thankfully, it wasn’t too bad, just a flesh wound. A little bit of ice and the swelling went down within an hour!
Can you imagine…first day of vacation…being stung by a jellyfish…after only being in Hawaii 3 hours! I thought it was pretty awesome. Everyone else however, thought it’d ruin my trip! Did I mention, at the time, I was afraid of fish….ALL FISH? This trip healed that fear right quick. I came back and was asking the beau if I could pet the fish in his fish tank…haha!
