Enough Things To Be Grateful For...To Make Up For 3 Days!!!

WOW!!! I know, I know...you've all been waiting on the edge of yours seats, just for this post!!!

As you know, I had gone out to Holly's Bungalow for the past few days. And, as you may be able to guess, there was MUCH preparation involved! Lots of packing and, of course, picking up Pop and Treats!!!

My first 'Positive Thing' starts us off at one of the stores that we went to for treats - The Bulk Barn.

1. I was checking out...after finding what I went in for (Snow Caps and Peanut Butter
M & M's!!!). Well, if that wasn't exciting enough, the Cashier that was waiting on me, told me that I have BEAUTIFUL Finger Nails!!! Who knew?!?! Apparently, she used to be an Esthetician...she couldn't believe how gorgeous and strong they were! She even asked to touch them...now, that's definitely something that doesn't happen every day!

2. Holly and I just so happened to be completely OBSESSED with 3 songs, in particular!!! I had them on my iPod, so we would listen to each one of these songs on REPEAT!!!

'Poker Face' by Lady GaGa


'I Hate This Part' by The Pussycat Dolls

And 'Untouched' by The Veronicas

We couldn't seem to stop listening to these songs, EVERY time we got in the car!!! It made the car rides AWESOME!!!

3. When we finally arrived at the Bungalow, Holly went to turn on the water, only to find out that, for whatever reason, it wasn't working. So, I'm proud to say that we were 'Environmentally Friendly'!!! Holly, being the 'Muscle Woman' that she is, went down to the lake and filled up several bottles with lake water! The water in the Bungalow comes from the lake, anyway, so it didn't seem like too big a deal. But, we did manage to realize, how much water we probably would have used...compared to how much we ended up using. And, what a difference!

4. The first night we were there, Holly made us an AWESOME BONFIRE!!! Here I am, right before heading down...

We started out, making Hot Dogs, for dinner...look at how YUMMY this looks!!!

I think that was the BEST TASTING Hot Dog I've had in a long time! There's just something about cooking them over a Bonfire that makes them taste so, unbelievably, GOOD!!!

Here's a picture of the Bonfire...

By the way, that picture doesn't even come close to giving it justice! The Fire was AMAZING!!!

5. We watched lots of scary movies while we were out there! It's always fun to freak yourself out when you're staying in a Bungalow ALLLLLLL the way out in Mira!!! (Haha! - little inside joke there, sorry folks!)

Anywho, we had already watched a movie, I think this may have been the 2nd one of the night. Maybe the 3rd...I can't remember right now. Anyway, when Holly put this movie in, I was, for some very odd reason, feeling slightly tired. I had taken off my glasses and was nice and comfy on the couch...And Holly looks over and says, 'Are you even gonna try to watch this movie?' I said that I would try, but, no promises.

Well, guess what ended up happening??? Yup, you guessed it, I ended up getting really into the movie and, guess who fell asleep!!! Yea, not impressed!!! Haha! It was a REALLY GOOD movie!

6. I believe we may have watched this movie first...

It seemed like it would be a good, scary movie. Well, it turned out to be pretty good, but Holly managed to come up with a new word to describe how we both felt while watching it - CONTRIGUED!!! Isn't that a great word?!?!? It's a mix of confused, but intrigued, at the same time!!! Good job, Holly! I will continue to use and spread this new word!

7. We went to Kennington Cove!!!

Here we are...just before heading down to the Beach!!!

This would be the hill that we came down to get to the path that led to the BEACH!!!

And, here I am!!!

Look at the view!!!!!

Breathtaking!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is the 'bridge' that's supposed to be at the end of the path...to get down to the Beach, but, for whatever reason, they had left it right where you see it. It wasn't very helpful from there!

So, being the ambitious and determined person that I am, I, miraculously, scaled these rocks!

I mean, what else was I supposed to do?!?! It only made getting to the sand, all that much more exciting!

And, look!!!. I made it and see that HAPPY smile on my face???

This is the view from where we sat on the Beach...pretty rough life, eh?!

Perfect size waves!!!

I couldn't get enough of it!!!

And more!!!

I LOVE those waves!!!!

Well, for those of you that haven't ever been to Kennington Cove...the water there is always FREEZING cold!!!!! Even when you get into the months of August, the water there is still pretty darn cold! So, try using your imagination here and, TRY, to imagine how icy, cold these waves were! But, my love for the ocean and the waves, won over my desire to still have feeling in my hands and legs. I, eventually, found myself doing this...

I just couldn't help myself!!! It was just way too tempting!

And, boy, was it ever cold!!!! I was frozen, for a while, after I finally got out!!!

Holly and I had a nice, relaxing time laying on the Beach and just chattin' and whatever. Well, we thought we were just laying there, minding our own business, when, all of a sudden, OUT OF NOWHERE!!!, a HUGE-MONGOUS wave came and tried to take us, and all our stuff, out to sea!!! I guess it was just the ocean telling Holly that she wasn't gonna get away with not getting in! We had a great time chasing down our flip flops and, attempting, to ring out our towels and shirts. But it was, DEFINITELY, all worth it!!!

After our little incident with the HUGE-MONGOUS wave, we decided that, perhaps, that was also a sign that we should head back to the Bungalow. So, we packed up and got ready to scale those AWESOME rocks again! I was absolutely DREADING this, as gravity would, obviously, be working against me this time!

I made it about half way up and was having a pretty hard time of it, when I looked down and found this...

It just so happened to fit my wrist PERFECTLY!!! YAY!!! So, I brought it home with me, as a souvenir!!!

8. When we got back to the Bungalow, we decided that we would go for a swim in this GORGEOUS Lake!!!

I had SOOOOO MUCH sand everywhere, not only from sitting in it, but, also, from being almost swept out into the ocean!!! I decided that the only thing to do, to get rid of all the sand, would be to take off my bathingsuit in the Lake!!! Yes, that's right, I ended up skinny-dipping! I guess it's a good thing that none of the neighbors happened to be around!

And, since we were in the water anyway, we both managed to wash our hair, with shampoo, and do a little scrub-down! Don't forget...we had no water in the Bungalow, so it all worked out PERFECTLY!!!

9. To our surprise, Timmy came for a visit!!! Norm came out to check out the 'No Water' situation and, of course, brought Timmy along! It was such a treat to see him! And he was so HAPPY to see us!!!

10. Most of you know how small my feet are...well, Holly had a great time laughing about this next thing...

We had, basically, just gotten to the Bungalow and Holly happened to notice a pair of sneakers there. She said, 'It looks like Ryan forgot his sneakers here!' Ryan is her young nephew. I can't remember how old he is right now, but he's a little guy. Anyway, time went on, and, eventually, Holly pointed out the shoes to me when I was walking by them...'See, those are Ryan's sneakers.' I just started laughing and said, 'Holly, those are mine...that I came in!'

So, needless to say, we made jokes about Ryan's shoes, the rest of the time we were out at the Bungalow. For example, we were walking in the sand and I just so happened to notice 'that Ryan must have been with us...he left his footprints by Holly's!' I guess it may be slightly more humorous to us...like, one those 'you had to be there' kinda jokes!

11. My parents had been away to St. Maarten, recently, and my Mom brought home this hairclip for me...

I LOVE IT!!!!

12. We had TONS of yummy junk food that we, TOTALLY, pigged out on the whole time we were there!!!

13. We had so much fun just being with each other...talking, being silly, you know!

14. We LOVED driving in the car!!!

15. I was ELATED to come home and see my Girls!!!

I couldn't believe how much I missed them!!! WAIT, yes I can...look how ADORABLE they are!!!

Well, that's my '15 Positives'!!! I'm all caught up now!
