~Every Day Is A Story~

I really enjoy telling stories. I do. Isn't every day a story in your life? I look at these pictures and I remember when, what, I can look at those picnics and almost taste the food, they bring back such memories. Even some, where I am very young, I still can remember. The time after my heart bypass and the amputations.. I can't be totally sure if its what I remember or what I was told. I know the memories of the ants and dust bunnies were mine..I didn't tell anyone about that back then.. I wasn't THAT crazy, I would NEVER have escaped from there then..lol.. I have to say, I am glad I didn't take photos of the bad times, well I did but they were DURING the bad times, not necessarily OF the bad times, I do have a photo of some bad things maybe, like that horrible sunburn I got in Galveston..Lord, that was awful. We lived in Galena Park still, this was before the boat . :-) and decided to go fishing out on the jettys in Galveston..great fishing there, I loved that town... well I decided I was going to get a sun tan, and not fish. I looked at my watch and laid down on my back. I laid there and SLEPT, for 3 hours.. I woke..turned over onto my stomach and slept for almost another 3, I had worked all night , 3rd shift, got home and went fishing, I was VERY tired..so, my companion, fished, and kept checking on me, he said later, to make sure I didn't fall off that rock. I looked fine. (of course) thought nothing, I was asleep..all was ok.. ya, sure...:-) Frying in the hot Texas sun, laying on a rock out in the Gulf of Mexico? ok.. :-) I woke, slowly sat up..and boy, I mean I felt STIFF. I could hardly move.. I looked at my self and HOLY CRAP!!! I mean..I got a really bad SUN BURN..I looked like a lobster.!! I cant believe I was that DUMB..lol..To lay out there in the sun for 6 hours? what a moron! No wonder I couldn't move.. I slowly got up and could barely walk back to the car..the more I tried to walk the more light headed I got..Hell, I gave my own self SUN STROKE here..DUH ..I Knew better!!! I puked all the way home.. :-( Thats what I get for being so tired.!!. I yelled at my companion, poor guy, I said "WHY the HELL did you LET me sleep like that???" He says.. "HEY ~! .. I was FISHIN" :-) lol...men.. below is burnt me...lol... I was fried. what a doofus.. I did that ONLY ONE TIME too.. :-) I got so burnt..when I stayed in one position for too long I could barely move. By the time I got home I was almost cryin I was so sore. I was mad at my companion for letting me sleep, I was mad at me for being so STUPID as to lay like that out there.. The jettys in Galveston are great places to fish from..they are huge pieces of highway and concrete that jet out into the gulf..I really dont know why they were there..but theres alot and on any of them the fishing is just great, well the fishing in Galveston is great no matter where you go and under that huge bridge before you get into town? Well, we had the boat then, and theres a launch site there..we put the boat in..and went up under that huge bridge almost to the center, and caught some of the biggest fish, trout.. drum..huge ones.. Well the center is so deep.. Some of the old pilings are there, or were and they had ladders you could climb and we would tie the boat up and go on top and fish..and have a picnic and STUFF :-) it was very secluded now. (hehehe)..hot, warm..could even swim there if we wanted to..we didn't ..that would scare the FISH lol...I think there was where I caught my first Sheephead, I had never seen before..and did you know they have a mouthfull of teeth that look like PEOPLE teeth? I freaked the first time I saw that lol.. And Drum? they sound like a huge bass drum, just loud, BOOM BOOM BOOM when you bring them in that comes out of them..Amazing...and some can get HUGE , I mean massive fish... Galveston was great to fish.. plus you had the very best freshest bait..we used shrimp..and the good part of that was, what you didnt use for bait you took home and ate lol and I LOVE shrimp. I really Love seafood. when I SEE FOOD, I eat lol.. you knew I was gonna say that ... :-) But it is true, every day is really a story, they arent the same, no 2 days are alike..thats why they're named different..tomorrow, today and yesterday, so how can they be the same? I guess todays story was TODAYS story lol...see? Everyday is one..So now..lets see how this story for today ends...lol ya, 3 guesses.. ends after a trip to that little room on the way to the kitchen and up there on that bed.. I wonder how long it will take me tonite to fall asleep and how many programs i will not see the ends of lol..I know Sometimes I am glad they have the summer re-runs so I can see how all of them END!!! :-) nitey nite..
