Gone Fishing

I have found a new hobby. Fishing! Which is kind of funny because my dad used to fish (he even had a boat) but I was a youngster more interested in Barbies and play kitchens instead of fishing rods and reels. So when my friends asked if I wanted to hang out and go fishing, I thought it would be fun and now I'm hooked. Pun intended.


We ended up going fishing at a lake over at Harveston. It's catch and release only, so I didn't need a fishing license. After a quick tutorial, some hot dog as bait, and waiting, I caught my first fish. Yay! I ended up catching three more before it got dark. At first I was more concerned about catching fish, but soon enough I found out how relaxing it can be. Being inundated with so much do in our already busy lives, it's nice to spend a few hours with friends and be one with nature. Even if it is at a man made lake. 


I used my friend's rod, but today I found three of my dad's rods. So now I just have to get some fishing line and hooks and I'll be set. Oh and probably ask for a fishing license as a birthday gift. :)

Have you gone fishing before?

I have popped my fishing cherry. :P

Help My Friend Win Project Style!

So last month I participated in Project Style. I have to thank everyone that voted, but unfortunately I didn't move on to the finals. However, my friend Rachel decided to apply after I told her about it and she got picked for this month. Yay!

It's the same deal as last month. She's up against another semi-finalist and the one with the most votes at the end of the month will move on to the live finals in September. Voting started on the 15th and goes through the 30th and you can vote once a day.

If you voted for me last month, you can vote for her here. Thanks so much and she greatly appreciates the votes!
