Another Saturday Night…

Kiddies, I am tired. It was a long day of adventuring!

Breakfast was some yogurt and a Pure bar.

And then I met up with a friend from work at Lake Crabtree for some kayaking!

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful.

We paddled around the lake for about an hour and were freaked out by various forms of wildlife, such as this long-legged bird.

And this deer that kept staring at us but then walked behind a tree whenever I pulled out the camera.

And some really creepy water birds that cut through the water like snakes…I do not like serpentine birds!

I do like kayaking, though!

(I took my old camera with me because I didn’t want to ruin my “new” camera–note the water on the lens!)

After we got done kayaking, we parted ways and I decided to make a random detour to Target. By the time I left my arms were incredibly tired and I was staaaarving. Time for some leftover black beans and salsa chicken.

Then I had a package of peanut butter M&Ms from the 25-pack variety box I bought at Target. Mmm. Portion control FTW.

At dinnertime I wasn’t very hungry, so I just cut up two small potatoes, coated them in salt, pepper, and olive oil, added bacon and blue cheese, and baked it for 40 minutes.

Unfortunately, as I was adding the salt way too much came out and I couldn’t get it all off. Subsequently, these were way too salty. I took off on my after-dinner walk and after a mile or so I started getting crazy thirsty and dreaming of a nice tall glass of Crystal Light Fitness when I got back. And by the end I was considering throwing myself into my apartment complex’s pool. Instead, I settled for walking through the sprinklers.

I think now I will turn in early–I did manage to get about 5 hours of sleep last night, but I’m hoping going to bed a little early will get me some more sleep tonight…
