Maine and CD Flushing
Maine was fabulous. It was my first time there. I enjoyed the water (looking at it), the trees, and the chilly temperatures. I also enjoyed being a part of a little family. My friend’s parents, sisters, a brother-in-law, a grandmother, and two outsiders (myself and another friend) were all there. We had meals together and played games together at night and talked to each other and shared reading material. It was really cute. They also completely ridiculed my bed making skills which are seriously lacking (who knew there were so many steps??) and which would completely mortify my mother if she knew another mother found out I was so bad at it! I did go for a walk by myself this morning during my normal running time. I wanted to get out of the house for a bit and sit by the water. I also chatted running with one of the sisters. She is getting more seriously into running and wanted to specifically talk about 1) half marathon training and 2) knee pain. Unfortunately, those are BOTH topics I can speak to. I am very excited for her though that she has caught the running bug. It was weird, her family was like, she gets up early, she eats healthy, and she is a work-out freak. I was like, hey cool, she sounds like me!!! Though I think she does get up even earlier than me and I did have to tell her family I had posted an entire blog entry that day about peanut butter. She was also very upset about her knee to which I can sympathize greatly.
Also, it’s amazing what stays with you. I have the weirdest memories. When I was 8 my family lived in an apartment and I remember my Dad once being annoyed that the neighbors asked him to turn down his music. We moved into a house soon after that and never had that problem again. However, to this day, every time I have my stereo on in my apartment I always think-is it too loud? Am I annoying my neighbors? Why would THAT little tiny thing stick with me all these years?
Speaking of music, my friend heard that if you flush a scratched CD (it’s too big to go down) it will stop skipping. Has ANYONE else heard this and/or tried it? I am hesitant to flush my CDs-though since they skip I guess no harm will be done...hmm....

I have personally never heard that (flushing a CD). If you try it, you will have to post as to whether or not it works.
I am glad you had fun in Maine! It is so beautiful there, I love it.

What do you mean by flushing it, exactly? Hmm.
Glad to hear you're having fun in New England!
