Never Give Up...

After looking at old pictures tonight and thinking about past experiences I thought of the many times in life where I have went to some ridiculous extreme to accomplish something. Looking back it's quite funny. So, I thought I should share.

1. One winter Lori and I bought an inter tube sled. We were going to use it the next day at our friends house, it was going to be a whole lot of fun. Except we had to blow it up. We didn't have an air compressor, so we sat in the basement ALL night and blew that sucker up with our own (4) lungs. Then we didn't even use it the next day. Pathetic.
2. Cleaning the fish tank with Bethany. We've always went about things in all of the wrong ways. Why would cleaning the fish tank be any exception? If my memory serves me right we used cups, bowls, and spoons to accomplish the task. End result: a half dead fish that was flushed before he expired...
3. Camping with Danielle and Kati a couple of summers ago we were going to make apple pudggie pies. My favorite thing in all of life. One night we decide to open the apples, no can opener. I successfully opened the apples with a screwdriver and a hammer after about 20 minutes. No fingers lost...luckily.
4. Moving out of College is always hard. It's even harder when everything big is already gone and you still have a night left to entertain yourself. It could result in a group of girls who wanted to watch a NASCAR race (some of us who were just there to be with friends, ahem..me.) with no TV. Amanda Stine and I all successfully watched the race on the computer while laying on a blanket on the floor. No cars. Just colored dots if I remember right...
5. In high school Lori always had a strange love for duct tape, so she always had some in her car. She also had a car with a glove box that rattled louder than anything you have ever heard. Every time I got in that car I would duct tape it shut. Years later, her dad just took the glove box out and put the door back on for "show". Apparently the duct tape was getting too expensive...
