2 nights and 25 women = craziness
i went to a mother/daughter retreat this weekend. for me it meant skiing, tobogganing, broomball, snowshoeing and giggling, but God had soo much more for me there. first off it was at Moose Lake the camp i worked at this summer, that i've been feeling guilty for saying no for working there this summer. being there brought back sooo many memories; good and bad and the topic of me working there kept coming up. the other thing that happened is being there i went back into my "camp staff role", which means i became an extreme introvert and just tried to make sure everyone was happy.
i also noticed a lot about women, most of all is that i'm becoming girly not womenly. my first clue was when we all said hobbies and most were like reading, coffeeing, and knitting, then there was mine: basketballing, swimming, camping, hiking, yogaing (hehe they all had to end in -ing). then i noticed how much they complained, about the beds, and the cabins, and the smells, and how sore they were, and all the things they couldn't do because of physical pain. what if that becomes me, seriously if i have to stop working out i'm gonna become a cranky cranky lady. and then we sat around and sang slow "pretty" songs and made "pretty" cards. and the sessions talked about maintaining relationships, feelings and making the right decisions. hehe, the lady had some theory that if you talked to your mom about sex you wouldn't have sex earily... ya i didn't get it either, but i learnt that i'm not suppose to go home with the guys i met at the bar, thanx Mother Mary. don't get me wrong besides the extreme womenly things, it was very fun and i will go again next year. it was nice that my cousins were there, but it would have been better if my sisters were there too, i think we're more similar then i thought we were.
one thing; do you think skinny dipping is a big deal? cause it came up and it was such a big thing. i dont' get it, i did it in gr. 10 and i was just cold haha. why is being naked soo bad? and why don't some ppl that are married not joke about sex? i honestly can't see why these are things to be soo uptight about. unless it's your mother talking, then you run and cry and hide in a secreat room with a locked door committed to life of making "pretty" cards and singing "pretty" songs and discussing your feelings to get away from the pain!!
