wolfe island music festival was great as usual.

the weather was great, the music was good, and the company shared was phenomenal. it's very possible that the music is really just an excuse to sit outdoors all day on an island with friends. i liked that at one point the blanket was covered by such a wide variety of friends, all gathered together in the sun. my mom always says that i'm not good at mixing friends, but i really enjoyed myself on saturday! maybe i'm beginning to get better at it (it's hard to juggle so many people and help them feel included).

i got a gross sunburn that is giving me a great deal of discomfort. thankfully, it's no where near as bad as shannon's sunburn from last weekend that left her bedridden for 2 days.

you'll never believe it, but i ripped my pants twice!

the funniest part of the day was during the last act. we were standing watching and listening to the weakerthans when 2 couples came and stood right in front of us blocking our view. i hate it when people are inconsiderate of other behind them. tall people should be smart enough to check if their blocking shorter people. anyways, we were able to see around them ok, but they were all over each other! rubbing and kissing, swaying and grinding. one of the couples inparticular began to really get hot and heavy. it was pretty embarrassing. i was quite puzzled because it was pretty dark out, they could easily find a hidden place slightly out of the way to get it on, but instead they stood among a crowd. no doubt they were drunk or impaired in some way, but still! we all continued to try to ignore them until they were suddenly on the ground in front of us! him on top and her legs wide open! at that point we moved slightly to the right to disassociate with them. i was certain clothes were going to start coming off. thankfully they got up again after a view minutes, but carried on making out without missing a beat. it was highly amusing.

it was brendan's first wolfe island festival. it was nice having him there eventhough i gave him a hard time about it beforehand. i'd tried to convince him not to come because it was always something i'd done with my girl-friends before and didn't really intend for that to change. but shannon wanted him to come and it was an opportunity for him to get to know beckie better. in the end it worked out quite well since his friends unexpectedly showed up and sat with us too - three friends from highschool were accidentally right behind us, and one of his bandmates & wife arrived and sat with us. it gave us the change to be together but still with our respective friends. it was fun having him there, i especially enjoyed when my favourite acorn song came on. i immediately perked up with excitement, when i looked his way he already had a huge smile on his face because he knows how much i love dents. i love being known by him.

beckie crashed at our place that night. we got an inflatable bed as a wedding gift specifically for when we have guests. it worked out GREAT! it turns out to be a queen size, which means it's bigger than our bed. we plugged it into the wall and turned the knob on the auto-inflate and very quickly we had a full-size bed (the height of 3 mattresses) with a pillow-top to boot! it was awesome. when we deflated it yesterday honey was on top of it, she sat there very confused as the mattress began to sink more and more around her. it was very funny. b and i like to tease our cats a great deal.

so there's yet another wolfe island music festival come and gone. it was great as usual.

if i could have back all the time that we wasted,
i'd only wasted it again.
