Last month, just before we left for vacation, mom told me that her, and some of her work friends were going skydiving again. I asked her when, and she said “right away.” I thought this meant right away, like as in when we got back from our trip. So, when we were at dinner for my sister’s birthday, (6/17,) I asked again. She said , “I think it’s the 25th!” She said it in the way that people say things, when they mean “your not going to like this.” So, yesterday, she came over, and I asked her again. Her exact words: “they’re talking about the 25th, but I’m not sure.” OK, so there’s a reason I’m writing this, it’s in direct conflict with blogathon 2009, and this goal. A similar thing happened last year, in this case the date in question was July 26th. blogathon didn’t end up happening last year, so I was left with only 2 events in conflict, (my cousin’s wedding, and a church parking lot sail.) I chose my cousin’s wedding. Anyway, um, why does this have to happen every year? I think I’m going to tell my mom that she can have her skydive on the 25th… but I’m not going. I would gladly go if it were any other day, and I’ve already been twice before. The only problem with this, is that she most likely won’t be too happy about that. At the place we go to skydive it’s $189 for 6 people, but if you have less than 6, you have to pay more. She’s probably going to flip out when I tell her this, because this means that, they’ll probably have to pay more.
How to skydive again
How I did it: I went back to the same place I went last week, and did my second tandem jump! This is an expensive habit, but I can't think about giving it up...maybe I'll aim for 8 or so jumps a year? Something a little more reasonable than every weekend (which I really would if I could!). This is going to be a big part of my life, I can feel it...

I’ve already done it twice, I’m supposed to go next month for a 3rd time. I’m bringing my family along for the ride, this time! My mom, my sister, and some of mom’s work friends are coming too! This should be fun!
Done a few tandems but so much want to get into the AFF course. A bit cost prohibitive for the moment but maybe by end of summer I’ll get that ball rolling.

One week later…I called and made a reservation to do my second tandem jump tomorrow. The weather is looking cold, but dry, so I should be able to follow through. Freefalling…skydiving… I want that feeling again. Now.

Went last weekend for the first time…and today I called to see if they have any openings this weekend!!! Sunday at 10am- perfect. Who cares that it’s a 4 hour drive away? Not me. I haven’t been able to focus all week on anything…jumping out of planes is all that I can think about!!!
I want to sky-dive again but unlike the first time where I did a tandem fall…..I want to do it alone this time
I went the second time and it was a completely different experience. Most likely it was because I enjoyed the freefall this time and didn’t scream the entire 40 seconds! I am planning on a third time. Skydiving is my drug of choice!!!
