12/10: Splish, splash, I was taking a bath....

Ever have one of those moments like on the Road Runner cartoon where everything moves in slow motion and you know it's going to be bad and there's nothing you can do about it? Well, I hadn't that is until today.
Chris was back at the cottage and the four of us decided to go for one last boat ride. Only one problem, the boat needed gas. Chris drove to the gas dock at the marina. I thought I'd be helpful and jump off the boat to secure the boat to the dock. My right foot landed on the dock but my left foot got caught on the lip of the side of the boat and of course at the same time the boat started drifting away from the dock --- see Coyote starting to do the splits. Ed grabbed my left foot and freed it but it was too late. Now my hands were holding onto the boat, right foot on the dock and left foot in the air and the boat continued to drift further from the dock. Ed and Tina each grabbed an arm and pulled me against the boat as my feet left the dock. Then I heard Ed say "I'm grabbing your belt and hauling you in". Now I'm lying like a beached whale on the side of the boat. Once the boat was against the dock and secured I put my feet on terra firma (the dock) and stood up.
Don't think my life jacket got wet but everything below it did. Luckily I always pack too many clothes so I had clean clothes to change into.
Ever try a potato Quesadilla? We sampled one at Wal-mart and decided to make some for brunch today. You take some mashed potatoes and stir in some chopped onion and chopped cooked bacon. Spread it on one tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and top with another tortilla. Fry one side and when brown flip and fry the other side. Serve with salsa and sour cream. Great way to get rid of mashed potatoes.
