The drive up to the cottage was rather creepy in the evening. We were surrounded by cornfields and dirt roads BAH!!! I'm always afraid deer are going to run out and die on my car.....good thing we only saw a cat by the road and a poor raccoon whose carcass lay chopped in half. I'm embarrassed to say that the deer thing is purely for selfish reasons, I hear that they can ruin a car with one hit.

The weekend was a very carefree one. LD and I discussed ourselves as being somewhat "man repellent" which was hilarious, I almost died laughing when she described it as such.

Toasted marshmallows were on the menu.....did I mention that I like mine black?? The marshmallows you dirty people....the marshmallows!!!

We played a few games to pass the time, mainly HorseBalls (which I really really suck at) and air hockey (which I really really rock at).

I've never used a chainsaw before and begged the guys to let me try. After far too many "are you kidding" "no way" kinda comments they gave in and let me give it a shot. I gotta say I lasted all of 30 seconds and didn't even cut through the log. I couldn't believe the vibrations; my fingertips went numb and I felt the chainsaw slowly slipping out of my grip to the ground. I thought it might land on my cute little toes so I gave up!

We of course sat by the fire and drank beer after beer well into the wee hours of the morning. That was on the first night, the second night I was in bed by 1 AM haha clearly I'm a lightweight.

The stars were absolutely spectacular on our first evening there. I can't recall a time that I've seen so many twinkling away all at once, it was just so beautiful. And the air.....that wonderful fresh air there is nothing like it!!

I had a really good time this weekend. I pigged out, laughed, played silly games and drank far too much all while surrounded by great friends....what could be better?
