BOAT is a four letter word
I'm looking out the window on this fine Sunday afternoon and I'm seeing two of my neighbors' boats glistening in the sun. Brad and I have talked about how we love boating and would love to own a boat. I can just imagine us gliding across the romantic water, sipping on something that has a little umbrella in it, and of course, I would be wearing a wide brimmed, Pretty Woman hat (but I'd also be able to stay up for more than 90 seconds on a wake board when called upon). Everything seems so glamourous.
But then, common sense kicks in. 1)Where would we store it? HOA rules forbid us to park it outside... plus that's kind of white trash. 2)How would we tow it? I don't want to drive a truck and I can't afford an SUV. 3)Besides the obvious lack of funds to purchase a boat, how could we afford the upkeep? The gear? The gas? The insurance? 4)Even if I moved, bought a new car, and came into a bunch of money, I'm still pretty sure this would happen if I was given the keys.
So, I think we'll settle for making friends with our neighbors.

Can I make friends with your neighbors, too? :)
this post made me think about the story Alicia told me when you were uninvited to go to the lake with the fam for not putting away your sleeping bag? I think it was?
