I went shrimping this week!

 
My friend from school, a 6th grade teacher, invited me to go shrimping with her, her father, and her father-in-law on Wednesday. We took the ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula and stayed on her dad's boat which was moored right off the Hood Canal. The next morning we boarded her father-in-law's fishing boat, with 2 400 horse motors, and were off for a morning of shrimping.

After catching our limit of 80 shrimp each, we returned to the shore to dig for some clams and oysters. What an amazing day!!!

Isn't that amazing?

We pulled in about 60 shrimp with each pot

Strange Friday and Saturday

Friday morning did not start out well. I had some severe cramps for about 15 minutes followed by some spotting. The doctor said to only be worried if it turned bright red and continued throughout the day, but to try to take it easy. I left school before it started and tried to sleep most of the day. I didn't have any other issues, but it was pretty scary.

Saturday morning, right before I took my last f*@#&@# test for my WA teacher certificate, I gagged myself with my toothbrush and puked so violently that I still have some broken blood vessels around my eyes. Anyone know of a good eye concealer?
