The nine weeks of summer did go by fast … well it seemed to me. But I really enjoyed this summer even if I didn’t go camping or on any fancy road trips. Here are some of my highlights of the summer:
- Got a bone bruise on my ankle early July and it STILL hurts (not sure what I did)
- Celebrated my first anniversary living in this house
- Drove to an out of town dragon boat festival with someone who is the worst backseat driver ever!
- Hosted a BBQ
- Created a dragon boat team of basically Vancouver twitters for a BC Childrens Fundraiser
- My Carbon Fiber paddle broke
- Got a new look, chopped 13 inches of hair off and got myself a new clothes and shoes
- Lost a childhood pet
- Danced six hours straight at my cousin’s wedding
- Attend my first WordCamp Fraser Valley
- Attend my first Renaissance Festival
- Hosted two themed movie nights
- Failed at my 30 day challenge of eating normal food but only having water to drink (no sugary crap ) .. Lasted 15 days
- Did not huli (flipped) when I paddled in a oc1 (1man outrigger) all summer long
- Changed PGN’s layout
- Last but not least…… H2O Geeks placed 7th overall out of 24 teams – I am very proud of these guys
How was your summer?
What did you do?

This summer did go by really fast. I still can’t believe it’s over. I had so much planned, but the weather didn’t allow us to do anything really. Including camping.
I’d say the most fun we had was visiting my father who lives out of state. We also made it to the beach a few times. That’s about it. Hopefully we can make up for it next summer. If it doesn’t rain as much.
my summer was about the same as my winter and spring.
urs was more exciting.
don’t give up on the not drinking sugary crap. that’s a good thing to follow all the time. once in a while’s ok, but the less refined sugar that goes into your body, the better. I’m trying to give up sweets all together during the week. I tend to pig out on the weekends, so I figure this balances it out :P
Wow you are always so active and involved in so many things. It’s so exciting. What a fun summer! I didn’t do that much, I guess. I got married at the beginning of the summer, moved into my new apartment, started a new diet, and just relaxed and had some fun. I guess that is quite a lot if you really think about it, hmm. I hadn’t really thought about it.
My summer was spent mostly in & out of hospitals & health care centers to it sucked ass. Your summer was so much cooler. /envy
I wish I could give up the sugary crap. I was doing so well, managed 3 months without a glass of Pepsi… and it took one slip at my niece’s birthday party to slip back to hogging sodas like a mad panda. *sigh*
