Camping and Cereal

Been almost a month since I posted on this site. Wow, sorry. I wonder if I'll start off every post from now on apologizing for not posting. Hopefully not. Hopefully I'll actually be unlash enough to log onto weebly more often. Hopefully. 
Anyway, summer hasn't been too eventful for me so far. Next next week is ANC Camp, which'll be an.. interesting experience. I'll admit, I'm not that excited to go. Not nearly as excited as Zia was. The thing is, I'm highly introverted so ANC camp just doesn't sound that fun to me. Plus I'm going to have to room with someone and it'll be just my luck that it'll be someone I either a. don't like or b. sleeps with the lights on. Hmph. I'll be sure to write about my ANC camp experience. Or, at least, I'll try to. I faintly remember saying I'd do a St. Kitts post.... but shhhh let's not think about that. 
Let's see, what eventful things have I done so far this summer? Oh! I went down to Virginia with my parents for my dad's work party. It was really hot and outdoors. Let me set the picture for you, I don't sweat a lot but it was so hot that while I was sitting in the shade and reading I was sweating. Yeah. That hot. And don't judge me for reading. I told you, I'm super introverted. That was kinda eventful. It was that weekend that I became obsessed with Hart of Dixie. I still seriously love that show. Watch it. 
For the most part of my summer I've been a lazy butt and just have been watching Netflix and doing absolutely nothing useful. I'll admit, that annoys me. I like doing something useful but I've just been, as mentioned many times before, L-A-Z-Y. 
This past week my dad and I went camping down at Assatague Island, Maryland. It's been a family tradition to go camping down there every year and if you know me, I love tradition. That's one of the only reasons I went because I'm not too crazy about camping. Though, according to some people we weren't even officially camping because we used a camper. Sorry, Camping Purists, but camping just using a tent? Nope. I'm not in for that. 
Assatague is quite fun and different because there are wild horses living on the island. If you'd read Misty of Shincatague (or however you spell it) you'd know about it. The horses are pretty funny because they've become so accustomed to humans that they now just walk into campsites. They also have figured out how to unlatch coolers and get food out of them. Assateague camping tip: HIDE THE FOOD. It's rather annoying and (this is the germaphobe part of me speaking) gross because there's horse crap everywhere. This year there was a lot on the beach, too. Egh. 
Anyway, I got my camping strategy pretty much down after all these years of doing it. Go to bed fairly early (11 ish) use a sheet and a comforter so if it gets too hot then a sheet can still cover you from no see ums (HATE THOSE). Do not go outside in the evening or at night if possible (bugs love biting me. I've decided to think of it this way- they prefer chinese food over american food.) Wake up around 8 ish (can't really control that but that's usually when I wake up camping) have breakfast and read until eleven ish to noon when it's time to start getting ready to go to the beach. Okay, I'm getting bored of saying my Assatague camping routine and I'm sure you don't really care. 
The real reason why I'm missing camping right now is because I'm missing my cousins, Anders and Ivan Croft. I don't see them that often and I really enjoy hanging out with them. Luckily, I'm seeing Ivan at ANC Camp. I'm definitely not missing the bugs. It was also pretty enjoyable just camping with my dad. Father-daughter time. I liked it. (plus I got the whole bed to myself instead of sharing it with Zia, that was pretty nice.) 
We had to end our camping trip early because, unfortunately, my mom was in the hospital. Fortunately enough, it wasn't anything majorly serious. Though, it looked like it might've been. She was all confused and it was a little scary. Yesterday morning we all believed that she might've gotten a stroke. Luckily enough for all of us, that wasn't that case. It was (as far as I know) a bad reaction to my mom's chemo. My mom's still in the hospital now, but hopefully she'll be released tomorrow. 
Now you may be wondering, why does the title have the word 'cereal' in it. Well, I've come to tell you all of my new obsession. With Golden Grahams. 

Every now and then I get cereal obsessions. Sometimes honey nut cheerios, sometimes frosted flakes, sometimes Special K etc. But this one is new. Parents, if you're reading this, Thank Dara Rogers for you guys having to buy so much of this delicious cereal. She was the once who introduced me to it. If y'all haven't tried Golden Grahams, I highly recommend it. It's delicious. Yum.
