So EIEIA beach was one of my favorite beaches to go to.  Our family was never a member, but a lot of friends and family were members.

The coolest thing about this beach was the big dock.  The big dock took about 5 minutes or so to get to and sometimes you would be quite exhausted by the time you got out there.

This was about my second or third time coming out to that dock in 5th grade and I wasnt too good at swimming. 

Like you would suspect, I was tired and exhausted by the time I got out to the dock, but suddenly as I grasped for air, Theresa W. from my elementary school dunks me back in and held me under for a second or two. 

At this point, I didnt know who it was.  As I was dunked down in, I gulped a huge amount of lake water and retaliated by this infraction by coming up for air and punching the first thing I saw right in the face.  In the temple to be more exact. 

But this time it just so . . . Read More..

Yes, I will admit I was hated for being such an AMAZING chess player (second only to my astounding wit) however, I will not conceed that poor little Dave Renne would have been injured by my mere dunking attempt. While my swimming and strength skills are mirrored to the above referenced actions, I would never have let my dear friend drown, nearly unthinkable! You see, I was told by a very good source (Elizabeth Peirce) that Dave had a crush on me; and being the little unfeminine, tom-boy who was entirely without positive flirting skills that I was, I thought the only way to reciprocate such harmless elementary school ponderings would be to, of course, bully him!
While, it turns out my informate was severely mistaken, one can only imagine the utter mortification I suffered at the hand (or should I say fist) of Mr. Rene. ( I cried the whole way home, some tom-boy eh?)What Dave will never know (oh until now of course) was that my . . . Read More..

When I was growing up I would always babysit my cousins Ben, Steve and Christine.  I had so much fun with them all the time.  

One of the things I did that was especially exciting for them was that I would take them in this big red and yellow plastic car and would have them put their feet up on the "dash" and I would run around sprinting up and down their back yard doing 360's and jumps as they would all hold on for dear life.

Sure, there were accidents here and there, but those kids loved it so much and I would get such a good work out with it as well.

There are so many stories of fun things we all did together.  Playing board games, going trick or treating, playing video games, watching cartoons and much more as I was babysitting.

Please feel free to share something you remember from when I used to babysit you guys. 

Oh I cant believe I am posting this.  This video is lame, but it might bring some laughs.

So I was convinced that I should try out for survivor and so I took a video camera out to where I run and I figured it would be unique enough for them to at least look at it.

But no... they didnt even give a response letter.

I spent a whole afternoon cutting this...

If you are bored watching the information about me talking about my life.... skip to the end an watch the funniest part of the video about me getting my hands dirty.

When my younger brother Sean was a little kid he always likedto catch things outside. He was really big into catching bugs and turtles and frogs. Well I remember when he caught this huge bull frog back in the swamp behind the house about as big around as a basketball. To this day it is the biggest frog that I've seen. Well he holding the frog with two hands and showing it off to everyone "look what I caught!" Well all of a sudden the frog started to pee all over Sean's hands. "eeewwwww". I think that's when he let the frog go back to the swamp.
