Florida

Hey all. I just got back from Florida. We had our biannual Howell Family Reunion down at Ft. Walton Beach. The ocean was beautiful and it was a blast to see all of my relatives (at least the ones on my dad's side). I pretty much just sat around all week and only went down to the beach in the evenings. It was hot!

Everyone seemed to have a fun time, which was good. And everyone got to come this time, everyone except my mom, that is. She's in Italy right now. And Dad is flying to France on Sunday to meet her. So for the next two weeks, I'm the mom in the house. Kinda a scary thought, huh?

I'm really excited about going to see Pirates of the Caribbean on July 7th. Yes, I know I'm such a silly fangirl, but I love pirate movies! I think it has something to do with playing The Secret of Monkey Island as a kid. That is pretty much the best computer adventure game ever. In my opinion. "Look, it's a three-headed monkey!" and "I'm selling these fine leather jackets..." and who could forget "You fight like a dairy farmer!" "How appropriate, you fight like a cow"?

Ok, well, I'm running out of things to write about, so I'll just sign off now.
