Horses & Food

Two weekends ago we went riding and since then Abug “talks” about riding in the form of Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride. This last weekend was no different. Hubby went to work on the shower houses back at the campgrounds again on Saturday so Tbug, Abug, and I went to hang out with my dad. I figured it wouldn’t take much and the girls could ride :).

We took one of dad’s saddles to our friend Len to fix and then it was time to head to the horse show that was going on. Dad’s on the board so he makes an appearance plus we like to see what’s going on anyway. Dad bought us lunch at Lucky J (where the show is).

Underpants

Does anyone hear Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) from Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World saying that? There was one episode during their college years when he kept finding Shawn and Topanga in situations and he’d yell Underpants in his voice. Anyway….

I like funny stories and sometimes I just shouldn’t tell on myself, but I can’t help it.

Back when I was pregnant I had to buy bigger underpants, underwear, panties, whatever you want to call them. I really didn’t get any of the maternity ones, I just bought lower rise bigger ones.

So one day at church Dan walked up and asked me how I was. Now if you know Dan (which you probably don’t) I could get away with my answer. I said, “Well I’d be great if I could keep my underwear from falling down.” He looked at me with a did I just hear that correctly sort of look and then laughed. I was like, “Well you asked.” So from there on he decided to tell everyone who came up how I was. Woops :).

So jump forward a couple years and here we are, I still wear a couple of those same pairs of underwear. Is that gross? I mean they’ve been washed, many times! :).

I told people there were 2 things I wanted when my pregnancy was over, new underwear and pajamas since the whole pregnancy I pretty much wore shorts and hubby’s t-shirts. Sadly… I didn’t get either. [insert sad face].

This summer before we went to Florida my mom asked if there was anything I needed for the trip and I joked that I needed new underwear. She actually took me underwear shopping and I got 4 pair, one of which I hate! But that’s a different story for a different day.

So anyway… Here I am, I do still have those pregnancy panties (underwear… underpants?) and wear them when I can’t find any others to wear. Sadly though, I think I spend more time pulling my underwear up than I do with them sitting where they’re supposed to.

Just yesterday I was walking across the yard from Jared and Karen’s house to Deb and Grady’s to watch the Superbowl and I started laughing and told Karen I needed to friggin get new underwear because here I was pulling them up again.

And that is my underwear story.

Sunny and 68

Saturday morning the weather was predicted to be in the upper 60’s. The upper 60’s in January, really? Holy cow yes! And was it ever awesome!?!?

Hubby, Grady, and Jared had plans to help Chuck start cleaning the campgrounds that we use for the trail riding events. If you remember the rains in December after Christmas… there was mud everywhere. The refrigerator and freezer were full of water. The hot water heater was busted (I think that’s what I heard). It did a lot of damage to the shower facilities. There was 36″ of water before it crested. So they decided since they had a free weekend, why not go down and start the cleanup process.

365 – January – Photos 123-153 – Take 2

Oh where oh where did January go? Seriously, how is it February already? I mean didn’t we just celebrate Christmas and New Years? Anyway, I’m still plugging away on my 365 project… although I really should call it 365+1 or 366 since this year is a leap year…. just a thought.

123/365 – This is the way to bring in the new year… SCUBA diving!

124/365 – I now have a teenager on my hands… Yikes! And those boots are only a size 7… don’t be fooled by the picture! Happy Birthday Tbug!
