As I have stated, tomorrow we are embarking on our quest for sun, relaxation, and enjoyment at the beach! Unfortunately, it won't be just our four person family...(okay, 5 if you count Hon who has become part of our fam.) Hon asked yesterday if he could bring his co-pilot. (Chewy) I said sure!!! Absolutely! But I mumbled under my breath that we may have to strap the big fella on top of the ship. Hon overheard this comment and suggested that we ship-pool. I said that would be a good idea! Luke, Padmae, and myself will go in our ship and Hon and his contingent could arrive by his ship.
But, as plans so often have the tendency of doing, these changed. Obi-Won overheard where we were going and it turned out that he had rented a beach house for this next week too! So he asked if he could shippool with us too. I conceded but continued to calculate the increasing lack of room in our ships. Master Quigone wants to come too because he has a timeshare at this beach. He said, "What in this galaxy could be more fun than spending a whole week at the beach with this many people?"
I don't consider myself a person possessing a large amount of intellect, but I believe I could think of a couple more fun ways to spend a week. But there was no turning back now.
Now the grand total of people coming to the beach with us is Asoka, Padmae, Lea, Luminara, Luke, Master Obi-Won, Master Quigone, Chewy, Hon, Kid-fisto (when he heard that Luminara was coming) Wedgie, and Me. Because of the vast volume of people, we had to use the Jeddi buses. The fun thing is that the guys are going in one van together and the girls in another. Now, I'm no genius, but knowing girls, I think they will probably get there a couple of months before us...

Something Happening...FINALLY!
Finally something is happening to me! We are going on a family road trip next week. Luke's classes start the week after that.
We are going to the beach. FUN FUN FUN! My GPS is causing trouble, but I think I will be able to get it working by then.
I apologize for the lack of posts for 2 months! I have now started again!

Unexpected Surprise
While this title may sound redundant, it....is. But I sometimes feel that redundancy is needed for emphasis. Master Siri has hired me to watch the security videos of the library to find out if any books have been stolen lately. They haven't, but as the video's come with sound, I have found a lot of different things...some I wish I didn't know.
I found out that Master Yoduh and Master Wendu are currently arguing about the former's need to be in a nursing home....in several centuries or so. Master Yoduh's conviction is that he will be just as spry at 1300 years old as he is at 300. I will see how this one pans out.
I also found that Kid Fisto has a crush on Luminaura. Master Ki-Adi-Mundee is counseling him. It appears that perhaps we may soon have another Jeddi to blaze the trail of mixing matrimony and the ways of a jeddi. Again, I will elaborate as I learn more.
One more thing that I found out is that Master Obi-Won is fixing up a deal with a Miracle Hair Grow company to help them with their advertising campaign. As his hair is falling out, they figured he would be perfect. Jeddi are not supposed to have attachment, but Master Obi is rather attached to his hair. He figures this would be a great way to get some free Miracle Hair Grow (which happens to cost an arm and a leg at retail price.)
I didn't know I would find such a wealth of entertainment just from taking the boring job of watching the security cameras. This is fun!

Changes
Yesterday, we got back home from our survival trip. It was quite an exciting episode. I'm glad it's over.
It appears that Siri put some people to work so that while we were all gone, things would get done around the Jeddi temple. First of all, she scheduled the installation of security cameras because recently, books have been getting stolen from the Jeddi library. I just think that installing voice recorders on them was a little much. She also hired people to install a new gaming system in the recreation room. You won't be finding me complaining about that! Anyway, things never get boring around here!

12 Jeddi on the Lake
Today we had our Jeddi fishing trip. It went alright. We split up in four canoes. Master Wendu, Master Yoduh, and I were in one together. If you think that that sounds like a recipe for disaster, you are perfectly correct. Master Wendu and I don't exactly think alike, so our canoe spun around for about 23 minutes before we finally shot it towards the middle of the lake where the water is most abundant. Master Yoduh, being an old LGM and all, didn't do much rowing. He just gathered all the bait and put it on our hooks for us. When we got to the middle of the lake, all the Jeddi were catching magnificent fish and I was dying to try my luck. But I had a secret plan. I happen to know, after feeding all the fish in Watow's shop (he had them to entertain customers while he cheated them) that fish LOVE donuts. It doesn't matter if they get wet. Fish of all varieties love these fried beauties. So I scrounged up a quarter donut under the sand at the edge of the lake earlier today and then while on the canoe, I took it out of my pocket and put my hook and bait (oh what bait!) in the water.
It appears that fish of all varieties have a deep liking for donuts. Unfortunately, the bigger ones happen to get to any major attraction first. We had a fish the size of master Yoduh in the boat with us within 30 seconds! He had about 60 teeth I could shave with and the meanest eyes this side of Hades!
He was so big and for those who don't know, you can ONLY have 3 people in a canoe or else it will topple over. And topple it did!
Master Wendu was in shock and was especially afraid because he has aquaphobia and (apparently) a phobia of large fish. Master Ki-Adi-Mundee's canoe with Plo-Koon and Master Obi-Won in it came over and helped us get our canoe situated properly.
I think that something nibbled me down there because my toes have teeth marks. Anyway, that is the last time I spend a perfectly good Thursday on the lake!

Search for Food
A gruesome tale, yes. But a necessary one if you are to understand how hard it is for 12 jeddi to camp in the wilderness.
We began to be hungry yesterday after the picnic basket that Master Obi-Won found emptied. So we collected bugs of every variety available. Master Wendu would have pulled out his hair if he had had any (hmm...that could be the reason he's bald) because he has been trying to get us to be "tough stuff" or rather, "outdoor's guys." We can claim that title if we are chicken of hunting. Anyway, the only variety of bug we could find was the beetle. A little crunchy, but they have a nice, salty flavor when roasted...very akin to chicken, I think.
Friday is the last day of our camping trip. Tomorrow we will take a fishing trip. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this...

Obstacle Course Of Course
Yep. It was very exciting. Master Wendu set up walls for us to climb over. He also strung a rope across the lake that we would have to crawl on.
Master Obi-Won found an abandoned picnic basket and we all ate hearty for breakfast! The fried chicken was a little stale but nevertheless, it tasted better than any wild turkey or mongoose we could have killed. Unfortunately, I had more of the picnic delicacies than anyone else and I had a hard time climbing up the wall. Master Ki-Adi-Mundee helped me out and then we moved on to the rope. Everyone made it across except me. My weight caught up with my muscles about half-way across and I kerplunked in the middle of the lake. It wouldn't have been so bad if the snapping turtles in that area weren't so aggressive!
Then we moved on to a race Master Wendu had set up. It appears this is what took him so long yesterday. He made these traps that could fit a whole man and then covered them up with a thin layer of sticks and leaves. All the other Jeddi went so fast that when they got to the traps, they went right over them. Master Wendu wasn't disappointed, however. Mr. Fried-Chicken-Belly fell into about half of them. 2 hours later, when I got past the obstacle (and the rest of the Jeddi council had a good laugh) we moved on to the final test: standing on a ledge over the lake and having a Jeddi council member catch you. This was the true test of trust in other members of the council. We would be pushed off the edge by Master Wendu and then someone would catch us. Everybody was caught and saved from a wet landing. I, however, wasn't so lucky. Master Wendu pushed me off, I landed into Plo-Koon's arms and he was embraced heartily by the cold waters of the lake. Apparently, picnic food isn't the lightest stuff in the world.
I don't know what we will do today, but I hope it will be a little less...tiring..........
BTW: Some may be wondering how I can write posts when I wasn't allowed to bring any electronics on this trip. Well, I smuggled a cell phone into my backpack. Master Wendu found it yesterday, but I told him that I only use it for posts. He didn't seem to mind.......
