Day Thirty

This was taken with my cell phone inside of Bass Pro. Have you ever been inside a Bass Pro shop? If not, you could seriously spend and entire day inside looking at everthing for outdoors. We werent shopping for ourselves, we were just tagging along with some friends. Even though it was super bowl sunday, the store was pretty busy. It was only 2 in the afternoon though. I figured everyone would be at home cooking or prepping... or whatever it is people do before the superbowl ( its obvious I haven't celebrated many super bowls). Apparently, its go to Bass Pro and buy a gun day or buy boots- those seemed to be the busiest areas! Wait, I take that back- people were buying just about everything. Clothes, kayaks (I wish I could say I was the one buying a kayak), boats, camping stuff... you name it, it was being sold! Anyways, this is Kev enjoying the glass elevator between the floors.

Day Twenty-Nine

Today I caught up with a friend. I meant to take a picture with her, but we were so busy talking and catching up on the last few months I completely forgot. It was great to sip on something warm and hear how a friend was doing. Sometimes its seems so easy for me to not spend time with friends. I get easliy distracted by life! I think I should make this a saturday tradition. Every Saturday I spend some time catching up with someone either in person or by phone for those who I am far from. Sounds like a wonderful plan to me!

Day Twenty- Eight

In the excitement and fear of taking english riding lessons, I have riding boots. My excitement stems from learning something completely new. My fear is more practical. Horses are large, my feet are small and I don't like risking the chance of getting stepped on while wearing old mesh top running shoes. I hope to be able to continue this new adventure of riding for awhile. Riding and controlling a trained animal that could for whatever reason defy control and do it's own thing is a thrill and a risk. Part of me finds it relaxing and the other is getting a small adrenaline fix.

Day Twenty-Seven

Today I came home from a full day/week and inspite of a full to do list... I slept. My body was saying something else, I chose to listen.

Day Twenty-Six

The ice and snow of last week has come and gone. The only evidence left is the occasional ice patch. I must admit that the aftermath of ice and snow melting is pretty ugly. I could have taken a few pictures of mud patches but I felt this one was a little easier on the eyes. Looks like we are expecting another round of snow and ice in the next few days. I cannot complain about the weather. I love all the seasons and spring will come soon enough.

Day Twenty-Five

I believe Frosty has seen better days. I noticed him the other day although he looked much different. He was standing up straight, proudly displaying his rock buttons, red scarf blowing in the breeze, bright black eyes, and a happy smile. Today, Frosty looks as though he has been betrayed. Standing a little lopsided, shrinking arms, evidence of being poked with sticks and let me not forget the giant pole sticking out of the right side. I wish had taken a before and after picture. It was quite the transformation. I think Frosty would appreciate being put out of his misery.

Day Twenty- Four

Today was D day, D being for dentist. My poor husband, I put him through the agony of a dental cleaning. After his childhood nightmare experiences, he has made taking care of his teeth a priority.  It is not so that the dentist will be proud of what a wonderful patient he is. No, this strict regiment of dental care is so he never has to go to the dentist. Unfortunately today, I broke his 3 year streak. In order to feel powerful over the evils of dentistry he allowed them to make him a referral to have his wisdom teeth removed and another appointment in 6 months. Although this seems like a normal thing to do, he has no intention of doing either. His wisdom teeth are straight, have plenty of room, and cause no pain. And as for the check up in 6 months... we will be living in another state at that time and I can assure you we won't be coming back for the dentist. Yes, he showed that dentist who is boss! I'll be calling them soon to cancel.
