I didn't die...

Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. You don't even understand how busy I've been. (Not that that is a good enough excuse to you people though lol.) I can't remember the last time I got 8 consecutive hours of sleep. It's really sad. I'm taking AP and Honors classes this year and I am so involved in chorus and youth group that I am rarely even on the computer at all. I can't even remember the last time I watched TV. It's been at least a week and a half. This really is a pointless blog, but I figure something is better than nothing. And maybe this will satisfy your needy needs for me to post lol. I'll try and write about something worth reading within the next 2 weeks, but until then, I'm sorry, but this is the best I can do. I was just taking a break from all of my American History, Math, Chemistry and Spanish 3 homework I had tonight. Talk to ya'll later. Have an amazing week!

Scalloping



Okay so I don't know if any of ya'll have heard of scalloping before...but it's something my family does every year in the Gulf of Mexico and it's amazing. If you don't know what a scallop is, look at the Shell Gas Station sign and thats what it is. You go out into 4 or 5 foot deep water and you have a snorkel and a mesh bag. You float on top of the water and when you see a scallop, you dive down, pinch it closed and put it inside the mesh bag. It's quite an exciting process lol. I caught 92 this past time which is a record for me because last year I only got like 18!! Anyways...my family and i go to a little town called Steinhatchee, FL up in the panhandle and we share this house with a guy my dad works with. And they have this really nice boat we go out on and we catch our scallops. The cleaning process of these things is disgusting though. No lie. It's nasty lol. You have to pry the shell open, then get all this nasty stuff thats living inside of it out, then scoop the muscle out (cause thats the part you eat) and then you either sautee them or fry them. They are soo delicious. I look forward to them every year. And I hate most seafood, so that's really saying something.
