Such is Life

I'm on a Boat!

Amazing moments do not come out of meticulously calculated plans. They come from fate taking the dynamic that is around you and turning it into something magical.

You will never be able to recreate moments like that. Even if you align all the stars in the perfect sequence. Even if you invite the same people to the same place at the same time, it will never turn out the way it originally did.

Though I’ve known that since I was a kid, I still try and temp fate and re-create those moments myself, but the out come is always the same – disappointment. Disappointment because as much as you try to control the amazing moments, what makes them truly amazing are the parts you can’t control.

And even though I recognize all of this, I can see myself trying to do it again, and its not going to turn out like I imagine, and I am going to be disappointed.

What a weekend.

I don’t even know where to start because all the stories and jokes would be lost on here because you had to be there to hear them. Yes it was one of those weekends. One in which all the jokes will be told for years to come and unless you were there you will never understand just how funny they are. Inside jokes for the 8 of us.

The kicker of the whole weekend was that we had a boat. Yes, a boat. And you know we sang that song about being on a boat about 5 million times. So much so that I never want to hear that song again.

It was while sitting on the boat in the hot sun in the middle of the lake that a thought came to me. No matter how much crap I might have to face in my life – the cancer, the stresses, the frustrations – I have a pretty friggin sweet life. There I was, in one of the most beautiful settings in the world, with the people I care about the most, with not a care in the world. After what I have been through these past few months it was absolutely perfect.

We made meals that looked like they came straight out of an Italian kitchen. BBQ’d Flank Steak, Baked Potatoes, Caesar Salad, BBQ’d Corn. It was all so amazing. I know how to organize good food for a camping trip. Marlee even made home-made hash browns, eggs, & bacon for breakfast and Mike made Egg McMuffins. We lived like Kings.

Pat was on fire the whole weekend. OMG I don’t know where he came up with half of the stuff he did. We just pissed ourselves laughing for hours.

Dario even made is past 12am one night. 3:38 to be exact. We were shocked

Ryan and Mike showed off their killer Wake-boarding skills and Elise drank half a bottle of wine and woke up with Fish Eye. Haha. Fish Eye.

Maybe if we plan it right, for our next camping trip, Marlee can get all of us hunting hats with LED lights.

And Off We Go

Up the Tree 2

I came to work early this morning so that I could leave early tonight so that I could run home and have a shower and clean up so that I could be ready for Elise and Ryan to pick me up at 5. I wish I just didn’t have to be at work today and could head up there with everyone else.

I totally had a stress attack last night while trying to prepare food, pack, organize the bathroom, wash & fold laundry, organize iTunes, and make it to bed by ten. So much stuff to remember and organize. I was loosing it a little.

The boys left this morning to set up camp and the girls are going tonight because we all have jobs we need to go to on Fridays. There is something unnerving about sending a bunch of boys with all of our camping gear into the woods to set up camp. I mean, what if they forget stuff? Will they know how to feng shui a tent? What if they make the kitchen area too small? What if they just sit there and get drunk and forget to set up the tent!? So many things to worry about. Marlee and I are commiserating this morning.

I also don’t know how safe I feel camping with Mr. Ciavarro considering all his camping trips usually end with him totally wasted, falling down cliffs, landing with his head in a bowl of puke. It really does sound like SO much fun!

The last time I went to this camp ground it was my Grade 12 Grad Weekend. A bunch of us booked some sites and we all got up early (the day after our Grad dinner dance) to go there. My boyfriends parents dropped us off and we started to unpack. Then the camp ranger came by and searched all of our gear for booze (as we were only 18). Low and behold he  found some in one of my friends cars and kicked us all out of the camp site. Even the boyfriend and I who didn’t have any booze on us. We had only been there for 2 hours and had no ride back. Needless to say I was fuming pissed. It took forever to try and get a hold of a parent to come get us, and in the mean time all we could do was sit there with our gear. We couldn’t cook or relax or anything. And then my car (which was parked at home) got broken into and I had my stereo and Cd’s stolen. Worst weekend of my life. Ugh. Anyways, I have bad memories of this place. It also makes me want to go back in time and punch certain people in the face. I’m so violent.

I just hope everything goes well this weekend.

I wish I had a blackberry so I could twitter how many time Chad Dutch Ovens the tent.
