Yesterday we competed in a field day through the Tampa Bay Sports Club with all the proceeds going to the Special Olympics. It was such a fun day! We competed in all different types of events. For example we all had to tie ourselves together and go through an obstacle course, there was a waterballoon toss, a rubber ducky launch, flippy cup, football throwing, relay races and even an event where you had to carry empty kegs and move them along while someone rides on top of them. It was all about strategy! I competed in the football throwing contest and basically you had to go down the line and hit targets. Each target was placed further and further out. The last target is worth 50 points if you hit it. There were 39 teams yesterday and I was the only girl to hit the 50 point target. So that was something I was definitely able to smile about! And then this got me thinking..I am not your average girl. I can be good at sports, I'm addicted to the video game Black Ops (yes I play almost everyday and yes I wear the headset), I would rather go to a sports bar and drink beer and eat wings then sip wine at fancy restaurant. I would think these characteristics would make me a good catch but now I'm realizing that maybe I'm too intimidating to men. Maybe this is why I always end up the "friend" and not the girlfriend. Maybe they don't want a girl that can beat them in anything competitive or know a little bit more about sports than them or have more kills than them in their video game. I think I make myself harder to approach with these characteristics of mine or make it harder to see me as more than just a best friend. But I am not changing how I am and I will just continue to wait until that day may come where someone will want to be with me for these characteristics of mine! He just better not be a sore loser. ;)
Ok now that I'm done venting about not being your average girl, I will continue on with how my weekend went. After field day we filled the cooler, took some cards and our music and hung out at the pool. It is hands down one of my favorite things to do on the weekends. Always a good time! You know you want to come here and hang out with us after reading this! :)
Then today mom and I went to the beach. I think everyone that lives in the Tampa Bay area was on Clearwater beach today. It was so crowded! With the weather being so nice this weekend, that is obviously where everyone wanted to be. After dealing with the traffic and searching for a place to park it was so nice to just lay there and relax! It was a beautiful day.
Oh yes and now for an update on the "airplane boy." After texting yesterday we decided that we need to randomly stop seeing each other on airplanes and offcially make plans. (thank you Jess for giving me that courage-you are the best) We are trying to figure out a weekend that works for both of us and then I will head up to Daytona! My hands are starting to sweat already just thinking about it! So we will see what happens, and of course I will keep you all updated.
Now I'm going to go back to watching the Oscars and wishing I looked like Mila Kunis and owned that dress! So beautiful!
Good luck girl! :)
