Erin's Moron Moment of the Day

I wrote a blog the other day but lost it before I was able to post it so I have been rebelling against blogging for the past couple of days, so sorry for the lack of posts. To make up for it, here's something moronic I did yesterday. I would like to blame it on the fact that I have been sick because I tend to do stupid stuff when I'm sick, but you can be the judge of it.

While driving home from school yesterday, I decided to call my friend, Nate, to see if he wanted to go out with our buddies from school that night. I got his voicemail, so I started to leave a message for him, "Hey Nate, Erin doesn't have to work tonight, and I think Jackie's free, so ya wanna do something tonight?..." At this point, I was at a four-way stop, and a car pull up at the intersection at the same time as me. We both wave at each other to go, then we both inched forward at the same time. I start laughing, then started sayings things like, "Oh, go ahead and go... it's okay... no, you go first." After getting the stop sign situation fixed, I continued driving and began to wonder why my phone was by my ear. "Oh, crap...um sorry Nate. I forgot I was on the phone...um call me later. Bye." I wish I could see the look on his face when he got the message. I'm always making fun of him, so I guess I've given him an opportunity for payback.

Here Fishy, Fishy


This past week, my friend, Jenny, and I went to go visit my grandparents in Lake of the Ozarks. I was planning on starting my new blog out with pictures of Jenny and I wearing bikinis and driving the boat in hopes that it would bring more people to my blog, but we didn't get to drive the boat (my grandma didn't want me to, maybe because I've totalled two cars, I don't know). We went shopping most of the time, but for a change in scenery, we decided to go fishing...

This little wormy was coiled up around my finger when I first started taking the picture. I flipped out after the flash bc (as you can see), he almost made it in my mouth.

Yeah, I put the worm on the hook myself. And I also put the bobber on myself. I'm a hardcore fisherperson. And within two minutes, I caught a 4lb. 16in. catfish. Yeah, I'm that good.
Unfortunately, I didn't know how to get the hook out of a catfish without getting stung and neither did Jenny. We have only been educated on handling bass and blue gills. We started walking around the complex hoping to find someone who could help us out (my grandparents' condo was quite a ways from where we were fishing), but not too many people were out around 11:30 p.m.

After walking around for about 10 mins., Jen grew some balls, and decided to get the hook out of the fish. I assisted by pinning the fish down with the net and pole. But unfortunately, the fish was stuck in the net. It took us about another 10 mins. to get him out.
So, finally, we were able to continue our fishing. We ended up not caughting anything else that night, but we had a great time talking and goofing off.
