I decided to do something completely different and unexpected today. I had the urge to follow through with one of my crazy whims, just once! I was on my way to my doctor's office to pick up a free glucose meter when I just decided that I felt more in the mood for taking a surfing lesson! Every time I'm on my way to my doctor's office I see this surfer standing out there holding up a handmade sign about lessons. I don't know why I never pulled over before. It's not that I'm scared of the guy. He's standing out there in broad daylight and he's sort of the talk around town. He's the only one doing something like this. I guess it's just that I felt a little embarrassed to get on the board for some reason. I felt it was about time to get over that silly fear. Surfing is something I've been wanting to try at least once for the last five years now. I would ask my boyfriend to teach me but he knows absolutely nothing about surfing. Something traumatic happened to him as a kid that he still won't tell me about, so he still has this fear of water! He's going to freak out when I finally get a chance to tell him what I did today!
