In a few weeks, I'll be going to the beach with my family- my mom and my brother. I'm really excited because we haven't done anything as a family in a while, and it'll be really good to spend time with my little brother (who is almost 21-- I can't wait!). At any rate, my mother called this morning to ask what we should do while we're at the beach. Now, when I go to the beach, I have a few things that are "must do's". This includes (and don't be disgusted) pistachio ice cream, gyro from Gus&Gus, Thrasher's fries, and Louie's pizza. Outside of that, I have to play the frog bog at Funland until I win something, and I have to ride the big boat that goes up real high, and usually go in the haunted house, and play skiball, of course. This all occurs when I'm not laying on the sand, which is the majority of the day. I wake up, throw on a bathing suit, and walk down to the beach, set up camp, and go back to sleep. I'll wake up to read or sing along quietly to my iPod, or attempt to go in the water and decide it's too cold, walk up to the boardwalk for lunch, and back to my base camp on the sand until about 4:30. At which point, I go back to the house, shower, and start cooking dinner. It's all extremely relaxing and chill and drama-free.
My mom asked what "activities" I'd like to do. She suggested deep sea fishing, which I'm ok with, as long as some giant fish doesn't steal my rod and me being wrapped in fishing line and going overboard and wrestling with some enormous marlin (Nemo's dad was named after this) and then drown and slowly sink to the bottom of the sea and then have my body devoured by hungry sand crabs.
Another suggestions was to bring our bicycles.
Mom: Do you even have a bicycle?
Me: Yea. It's green. Remember how you stole it from me and put that stupid squishy banana seat on it? It's still in your garage.
Mom: Um... No I got a new bike a couple years ago.
Me: That doesn't negate the fact you stole mine first. But that's fine. You can use your bike, and I'll just take mine back.
Mom: I don't think it's in the garage.
Me: Well, it was there last time I checked.
Mom: Ok but I don't think it's there now.
Me: Why? DID YOU GET RID OF IT?!?!
Mom: Well...
Me: You can't just adopt something that's not yours and discard it when you get one of your own! Now I don't have a bike!!!
Mom: Well I'm sorry hunny.
Me: Fiiiine....
*sigh*
The hybrid bike I want: K2 T-9 Crosswind; $400. So pretty...
and the mountain bike I want: Novara Bliss 1.0 on SALE for $640

Might wanna check out craigslist; bikes don't normally hold their value that well and can be found for a fraction of what they were purchased for without too much wear and tear on them. Just something I discovered down here when I was looking for a new mtn bike on the cheap.
