Trying New Things

Well, it was a pretty laid back weekend as we didn’t do much in this 115 degree heat. Yes, it was 115 degrees all weekend and at 10pm when you would think it would cool down it didn’t because it was about 102 degrees out. This is our fourth summer in Arizona, so we are used to it. Even though we are used to it I still think the temperature is a little crazy here. Even though we had a pretty boring weekend I had a couple firsts. Well, if you know me you know that I am not a fan of going under water when swimming. Ok, so I don’t swim, I prefer to float on a raft or just chill in the pool. I definitely don’t go under the water as I don’t like to get my hair wet and I have an issue with going under water. I am not sure what the issue is, but I get freaked out when I go under the water. Call me weird, but that’s just me. This weekend I just couldn’t help it as it was so damn hot that I just jumped in and I was completely submerged. So, I did it and I was ok. So, I did it a few more times all weekend. I am still not a fan, but when it’s that hot out I just said “What the heck” and I cooled off by jumping in. Another first is that I ate red and yellow peppers tonight. I have never eaten them before because they just didn’t look appetizing. More like they looked scary. Anyway, we made chicken fajitas tonight for dinner and I was feeling daring just like the other night when I jumped in the pool and went under water. I filled my tortilla with chicken, yellow and red peppers and mushrooms and it was so yummy. I don’t mind peppers anymore and I am glad I tried them. This new found self of trying things might be because I am turning 30 in a week, but that’s another story.
