Yep that's me... in the bay... KAYAKING!
;-)
On Saturday KJ and I were judges for an event where local high school kids participate in several categories to earn scholarship money and finesse their presentation/performance skills. It's an NAACP thing. KJ's category was Physics, mine was Classical Vocal. This is my 2nd year judging, but his 5th and I looooovvveee it. Nope, don't really know a thing about Classical Vocal, but I've got ears and I always give positive support (watch your breathing, very your pitch, great range, etc) b/c I'm proud of the kids for just trying. Anywho, I'm always glad that I get a Performing Arts category b/c the Science stuff is so not up my alley.
Oh yeah, kayaking... So, a friend from work called and asked if I wanted to go kayaking. Kj was watching the draft at a friend's and I'm all for something new. So I put down my donut (hehehe), dug out a bathing suit, grabbed some sunscreen and headed over to the bay. I had such a good time! I don't know how "far" we went, but we were out there from 2 til almost 7. I was pretty sure my arms were going to fall off Sunday morn, but they're fine. Guess my upper body isn't as out of shape as I was expecting (the lower bod is a whole different story...). So while we were out paddling, I saw a ton of jelly fish, some dolphins, and a water moccasin. Yep, the last one wasn't really a surprise b/c it had been a week full of snakes. No pics of the snake, but I did get one of the jelly fish near the shore (pretty sure most if not all of these were dead, but it's still gross non the less).
When I was driving home, it occurred to me that this is when living in FL is really kind of fun. The weather was perfect and I think I'm a growing fan of water activities. I'll keep you posted...
Happy Monday

Ohh.. Girlie.. Kayaking sounds like lots of fun. I would have loved to have seen the dolphins and other water creatures.
Fun in the Sun is more like it. Yay to Florida! I am glad you have been finding more perks of the Florida life lately.
I am so proud of you for fully embracing the Florida life. Kayaking!! Impressive. The water looks gorgeous. Why all the dead jelly fish?? Thats a little strange. But looks like so much fun!! Oh and you know those are my sun glasses on your face???? I know you know:) Love you lady.
This limited internet access is really cramping my blogging commenting style... Sorry it took me so long! I'm so glad you found some way to enjoy the misery of Florida... I'd LOVE to go kayaking but I don't think they allow 9 month pregnant women to do that. Plus, I probably exceed the weight limit... When I'm skinny again though, by God, you'll have to show me some of your skillz... :)
Happy Birthday ROZ!!!
