Girl Scouts....Day 2

Well this morning started bright and early at 6:00.  We got up and got ready and headed to breakfast.  and it was all downhill from there!    After breakfast we boarded a bus, charter I might add, to take an hour and a half trip to Ohoopee Dunes.  Monica and Idecided to sit towards the front of the bus.  I sat one row in front of her because WE THOUGHT we would stretch out.  Well......she stretched out.  I wedged myself between the window and a woman who no lie has to be about 3 bucks!  She had to sit at the front  because she was pregnant!! Thanks Monica!!!  So for let me remind you.....1 1/2 hrs I was wedged!  While Monica lounged. 

Super Liar update:  (refer to yesterday's post)
We found out Super Liar and her brother trained all the horses for the Kentucky Derby.  She also knew everything about prison workers on the street and gave directions to the guide.


Ohoopee Dunes:

The dunes were ok.  I was a little bored because basically we were talking aobut plants. I was ready for some snakes.  Of course snide comments flew here and there about our boots and how were they working for us.  I wanted to say , " How is your face working for you? "  But I thought What would Jesus do?  Thank you Lord for preventing me from putting my tye dye peace boot up their.......
Anywho, dunes........blah blah plant.....blah blah grass.....blah blah blah.......

From the dunes we got back on the bus to find a town ( which super liar knew where every bathroom, resteraunt, etc was) to eat lunch.  We are narst greasy grub at a joint  called Sharky's.  Bluck!  How can one mess up nana puddin???  From there back on the bus for about 40 minutes to Indigo snake outpost station.
That was fun.  Monica found tree huggers like to partake in recreational erm.....well ask her.  I made out with a gopher tortoise, held a snakes butt, and finally got muddy!  Monica ate a tortoise nugget, held the snake's biting end, and got smacked in the face by a tree!  All in all a good afternoon.

So back on the bus headed back to the lodge, me sitting WITH Monica of course.  We arrive back at the lodge at around 6:30.  We began our buss ride at 7:30 this morning.  That's alot of bus and walking.  I think all in all we walked over 5 miles.  Made up for my birskit this mornin!  ( Shout out to Amy) 

So we head to dinner, and we see that it's a seafood buffet.  YAY!  Monica was excited because they had crablegs.  Well come to find out AFTER she got a plate of legs that we weren't supposed to include them bc we were a group.  She felt so bad, but they told her to keep them.  Well....(insert new character....Player Hater) We sat by our selves bc after a day like today and a dinner like last night we just need some down time.  We hear someone ask, "Who got crablegs?"  Player Hater said," One of the Neon Twins!  ( We were wearing our AITP Tshirts.)  Monica was HOT!!  She was like...ok i'm done.  I just won't eat!  I told her not to worry about it.  Who cares what she said.    Well, that was before she started talking about where everyone was sitting and she motioned to us and said .......and those two who who want to be alone.  That was it!!!  I wanted to go high school on her.  Monica and I are gonna drown her in the bog tomorrow.  But it's ok....she's not cute, so I kinda have a little pity for her.  I'll pray about it.  That takes us to now.  It is 7:21 and we are about to head to our last session tonite.  A movie about trees...YAY!  Will this day ever end?!?!?

On my honor I will strive.........

Girl scout expedition:  Day one:

Ok, so I pick Monica up around noon for our adventure.  Average drive....nothing really going on.  Tree here....cotton there.  When all of a sudden out of nowhere came...................(duh duh duuuhhhhh) Lane Peach Plant!!!  Home of oh so yurmmy home made peach soft serve ice cream!  Or cobbler with icecream on top in  Monica's instance. 
 Well no one told her to eat hers like there would be no tomorrow.  So who's fault is it when she ate her's and I have over half my ice cream left.  She was seriously aggrivated bc she wanted more and I was slow.  Case prooven when I put down my cup that I THOUGHT was empty and she licked it!!! Surprised.......sad to say....no.

Fast forward.......we pass the nice wonderful prison about 3 miles from where we are staying.  Where are we staying you might wonder?  The oh so loverly Little Ocmulgee State Park and lodge.  Lodge?  ehhhh  a little stretch.  Come on!  Where's the hot tub?!?!  Anywho.......We check in and head to our first meeting.


First meeting:
Like all educational gatherings we start with the dreaded, "Get-To-Know-You", activity.  "HI, my name is Jaime, and I teach 2nd grade at MLK in Columbus". Woot Woot!  ( that was my own personal shout out to me)  After we proceed to make name badges out of cedar chips with twine and stampers.   So we looked like doofs with cookies hanging around our necks smelling like gerbils!!!  Classic!  Well, then we are turned loose for and hour to explore trails until dinner.
Monica and I set off for whichever trail has no people on it.  Monica also lets me know that if Hannibal Lechter were to find us on the trail she would proceded to trip me and run while I am being eatten....gotta love a true friend.  We did find a really pretty dock with two people fishing .  That was about it.  Monica played for a bit on the playground.  Gave me a few laughs before heading back for dinner.

Dinner consisted of chicken tenders with baked potato for me and chopped serloin with tater for Monica.  We te WAY too much!
Oh wait!  The worst part!  So we walk into the resteraunt and I tell Monica, "Grab that table with two chairs there."  As we are pulling out our chairs, one of the other teachers from the project invites us to sit with her and two others.  i was fully ready to sit my hineybutt down at the table for two, but noooooooooooo  we had to go to the table of doom!!  THX MONICA!!  During our dinner, conversation ranged from two of these women not fitting into size XL underwear bc their luggage was lost during an expedition to the Galopagos Islands....to one woman who I will refer to as liar teacher who held 7 diferent certifications which enabled her to land a job teaching special ed. in Hawaii.  While in Hawaii liar super teacher recieved her massage therapy certification which enabled her to be "selected" to train in London with the Queen's masseuses (however you spell massage ppl!).  Not quite sure how she left the Queen to teach in good ol' GA.  Super liar teacher.....you make me doubt your truthfullness....even if you say you have pictures to proove it.

That takes us to session 2.  Session 2 lasted from 7-9.  And I swear all I heard was, "  Waa waa waa waaaaa   tortoise....waa waa waaa waaaaaa long leaf pine".  I woke Monica up twice!  No Lie!  And here we are now....9:30 and sooo tired and ready for bed.  And I don't care!  Bring on the age jokes!  Bite my tail bc I have to be on a bus with 25 tree huggers at 7:00 in the morning.  So until next time....See ya on the flip side!    (fine print)   no offense was to be made for anyone who hugs a tree.  The term was used loosely and probably incorrectly....PEACE OUT!!!

Thanks Amy............
