Is it Friday yet?

I have always heard people say not to wish your life away, but today I just can't help it. I am really really ready for the weekend to start. In all honesty I should probably be wishing that I had a few more days. My suitcase isn't near being packed, and my bedroom looks like a cyclone has swept through. The clothes that I washed last night didn't make it to the dryer since I was well napping, so now they are soured and need to be re-washed. My mother says that I think water is free. In my defense it was free for us up until about 3 years ago. We used to have a well.
This weekend's plan has changed slightly from the original. Instead of heading to Chattanooga tomorrow night I will be heading white water rafting. Can ya'll believe I am doing an outdoor thing? Yeah me neither!!!!! Some of my friends are going and they invited B and I to join them. Pretty sure I never imagined myself riding through white water rapids in ice cold water, but I am trying it. If you know me, then you know that I HATE to be cold. I am guessing that since the water is coming straight off of a mountain it may be a tad bit chilly. Oh the horror!!!!
Rafting will be right up B's alley. He is pretty excited, me not so much. Oh and I don't exactly want to be looking like a drowned rat. There is a bright side to all of this........no cameras allowed. Cameras can't hold up to the water, and apparently EVERYONE in the raft MUST paddle, so no one will be snapping away!! Did I mention that all of my friends who are going and B have been rafting before? I just love being the newbie!
So while I thought that I would be enjoying a nice relaxing weekend, I will instead be experiencing the thrill of rafting. Can you sense the excitement in my tone?
