Sadly, it wasn't all good.
But really, can it be?
At least when it's bad, I still have the consolation of it having served a purpose. To further complete this here list.
First:
I took a picture of this really cool tree that is near my house.
When it has snow on it, I think it looks like a woman being dipped.
I tried to capture it on film, and I think sadly, it doesn't do it justice.
I had a hard time getting just the right angle without being in the middle of the busy street.
Second:
This past weekend we celebrated Chrissie's birthday.
Last year we had gone to a cabin in Michigan and this year was a repeat.
This place can hardly be called a cabin, in th roughing it kind of way, and I am more than fine with that.
It is log cabin looking with a wonderful gas fireplace which requires just a flip of a switch to turn on. And this year, unlike last, it was actually cold and snowy, making it feel like a winter getaway to a cabin in the woods.
It was beautiful, and restful. We read a lot of trashy magazines and books, watched (500) days of summer, drank wine, ate good food and good crap food, took walks and naps and laughed...a lot.
Third:
This same weekend, because the cabin is on land that also has a stable and horses, we decided to go horseback riding.
The morning of, I didn't feel much like doing it, but shit man, it's on the list.
I have to say, I didn't enjoy any of the 30 minutes I was there. From being in the stable with the horse, to walking into the ring and then worst, having to be on it riding it. No.
We finally made our way outside on the horses to begin our trail ride when Chrissie's horse freaked out, laid down and rolled over. Thankfully Chrissie was able to get off just in time and wasn't hurt physically.
Things just kinda got crazy from there. The other horses started to freak out, bucking and running. I was done at that point. I asked immediately if I could be done. Amanda, being the awesome girl that she is gave me permission to stop right away. Even if I didn't need the permission, it was nice to hear it.
We headed back to the stable, I got off my horse and went on a LONG walk to work off some of that nervous energy I was feeling. THe rest of the crew, including the brave Chrissie, proceeded to go on an hour long trail ride on those crazy horses!
Never again.
this was taken the day before on one of our walks.
to the best of my knowledge, none of these horses were involved in the next days incident
I suppose this sign should have served as warning in addition to amusement.
Don't ride your horse where you get your hair did, and vice versa.
