On Sunday, I tried surfing for the very first time in Pacifica, CA. I had signed up for a two-day beginning surf clinic with my pal, Nathaniel. I didn't ever manage to stand on the board long enough to "catch a wave", so I don't think you can call what I did "surfing." But it was fun, and since the first day was cancelled due to rain, I still have another lesson ahead of me, already paid for.
After three ours, I was beat. Exhausted from the activity and being thrashed around by the ocean.
The next day, my arms were so damn sore from carrying the board around, I could barely dress myself.
I hope next time I actually manage to stand on the board whilst in the water!

All fun and games until...
someone gets clocked in the head by a bridal bouquet!
Yep, that someone was me. I was dragged out by the bride (so I couldn't say no) to go be among the three other non-enthusiastic single women who were supposed to vye for the bouquet. One woman hid behind me and pushed me as the bouquet was thrown; I ducked down and put my hands over my head; and I don't know what the other two were doing. All I know is that I got hit in the back of the head, and when the flowers fell to the floor, the others decided since they hit me first, I had to keep them.
Perfect.
