a day for firsts

so time to announce the winner(s) to the contest:

in first place, "outbreak of lime disease hits feline population" (i think that's what it said, i can't remember word for word right now, so if i misquoted you brad, my sincerest apologies)

and an honourable mention goes to "just call me snatch sister number 5" from some anonymous entrant, you know who you are (and you definitely didn't get any extra points just for being you)

and in other firsts today ... well, i have quite the list of them ...

today was:

  • my first time sailing
  • my first time swimming out to "sea" (i.e. the lake) to try to rescue a sailboat that apparently wasn't anchored as well as originally thought (and no, the anchoring duty was not mine)
  • my first cob of corn for the summer
  • my first margarita of the summer (don't know how that happened)
  • my first time on a bicycle built for two
  • my first time pumping my own gas (i did attempt once before but couldn't figure out how to work the darn doo-hickey and the gas wouldn't come out .. so i just discreetly replaced the nozzle in its little holder and left the gas station ... )
  • my first time swimming in lake urine ... er i mean huron this year... heck in about 3 or 4 years, i think.
  • my first time using the bullets in my blog ... how wonderful! i like bullets, i must keep this in mind for the future!

and perhaps that is it ...but still, overall, that's a pretty big day of firsts, don't you think?

but now, i must be off to bed ... too much food ... ah, gotta love sundays at the cottage, the home of the eating marathon
