I am one with nature...

Well, my summer is almost over. :(

I'm headed back to school on Sunday, so that gives me 5 days to put my whole life in a few boxes and strategically pack my car so that it all fits in my little Civic. I just started stressing out today about everything I have to do...which just makes me not want to start packing even more - so it's not good.

On a mission to end the summer on the right foot, my best friend Beth and I drove down to Virginia Beach for a day trip on Saturday for her birthday. It was so much fun! That was the first time I had ever been there, and it was great. We made some great memories and got nice and sun-burned!

And, of course, something psychotic happened to us, because that's just the way life is when we're together. We were traveling up the ramp of a parking garage, trying to find a parking spot among the hundreds of cars already parked there. (And I have to add in here that Beth is really afraid of birds. - haha, sound familiar, Cassidy?) So she's driving, and suddenly she ducks and starts screaming, so I look at her to see what's wrong, and a bird was flying in her window! I figured it was just going to fly in close and then swoop away or something, but no - it literally came into the car, landed on Beth's leg, and flapped it's wings all over her. It was all in her face and her lap - it was the freakiest thing I've ever seen! So being the great friend that I am, I just opened the car door and literally jumped out of it. We almost ran into another car and a wall because she had her eyes closed the whole time and forgot to put on the break with all the excitement. I'm not going to lie - it was my favorite part of the whole trip...and I really did pee a little from laughing so hard right afterwards. I'm still cracking up about it as we speek...Oh, and the icing on the cake - it pooped on the steering wheel. "Happy Birthday, Beth!"
