Missing Sharks

This is how we felt once we found out we missed taping "Shark Week" during our trip.





































OK, not really. This is how I felt, not the kids. I have a morbid love of Discovery Channel's "Shark Week". I am scared of sharks and sometimes see them behind my eyelids when I am rinsing my hair in the shower. But boy do I love watching sharks programs. Who doesn't love watching a 20 foot long shark attacking the underwater viewing cage?? That is quality television. At least to me.

The only time I prohibit myself from watching shark shows is about a month before any trip that might involve swimming in something other than a pool. It's best not to have these images fresh in your mind, trust me. I totally blame "Shark Week" that I still haven't learned to water ski at my father-in-law's lake.

What will I do now without my annual dose of "Shark Week"? I am adrift...

3 amazing observations:

Did I miss something? Why won't you be able to watch Shark Week? Well, anyway ... I think it's hilarious that you love shark week :)

We were on our trip when shark week happened and we didn't record it. It's something I look forward to. I was being purposefully dramatic and silly about it :)

Andy and I are going to possibly get diving certified...but this is one thing that makes me hesitate...sharks and big fish.
