Swimming in October and Horror flicks

I went swimming yesterday.

Before you say anything, it was hot yesterday and the cool waters of Lake Monroe were just too pristine to pass up, so I put on my turquoise bikini, drove out there with my husband, met our friends Chris and Sara there, and well all just jumped in after walking past the rope swing and around the corner where it comes to a point and the rocks meet the water in a perfect slope. It was heavenly. I find that I enjoy swimming in the fall more than I do in the summer. Perhaps it's because there aren't any horseflies to bite you.

The latest I ever went swimming in a year was November 11th, and that was in the sixth grade. It was snowing a little bit, meaning it had to have been around 30 degrees but my friend Nikki and I we jumped in and swam in the creek while trying to catch crawdads. We were wearing our jeans and sports bras. We took our sweatshirts off so we'd at least have one dry article of clothing when we got out. We caught about 20 crawdads and the water, although it was November and snowing, the water was warm, and flowing. It was amazing and I don't think I have ever had as much fun as I did that day.

I think if I could join a Polar Bear Club, I would. The only bad thing about swimming in the fall is the fact that when you get out, it's cold. Your fingernails have the purple around the cuticle and it's just freezing and you wanna change as soon as you can.

After we finished swimming we came back home, changed into dry clothes, out of our swimsuits, and went back up to Bloomington. We went to Chris and Sara's and then we all loaded in Sara's car and went in search of a scary, gory, halloweeny, old fashioned, or just vampire flick. We found a film originally filmed in Russian but it was dubbed in English that we ended up watching-it was a pretty sweet movie. Although, I can't remember what it was now.

Vampires are super sexy, by the way.

I'm playing the McDonald's game...haha, I know I'll never win, but it gives me hope, and I only need one piece to win either: 1.000.000, 50.000, 10.000, 5.000, 1.000, 500., 50... (I like using periods instead of commas).

I think if I don't win anything I'm going to send it to PostSecret and write on it "I play cause it gives me hope that maybe I could win." Not because I like McDonald's food, the only thing I like from there are the french fries. Okay, the chicken sandwiches too. I LOVE CHICKEN SANDWICHES! It's my addiction. But hey, at least it's a healthy addiction, right?

Anyways, I hope you all are doing well.

Love you all,

Me.


P.S. Bonnie, I'm going to write you a letter. I found an envelope today so I'd expect it this week sometime :)

P.S.S. Mamacita, I would love to come over sometime, so maybe on a Thursday when I'm in town doing something for Probation or Doctor's office or something I can stop by, and we could "hang out", just tell me if that would work. :D
