Oh My Achin' Tush!

I'm sitting here very sore and tired but so excited from this weekend I had to start writing about it. A group of us went to The Okoee river in Chattanooga TN white water rafting and we had a hoot. Our caravan left out early Friday, stopped to eat lunch and arrived in time to set up camp and check out the river in the light. We stayed up late talking around the campfire and toasting marshmallows to make delicious smores. We woke up Saturday and ate breakfast and then since our rafting didn't start until 11:30, decided to take a hike. It was pretty awesome because there were all these signs warning about bears on the way. It was a gorgeous trail. Tina was our brave and fearless, face the spider, leader. She was entrusted with a big stick that she waved to and fro that began to resemble putting a hex on the trail ahead or perhaps blessing it? Anywho, there were only a couple screeching girl moments when she missed one and got a face full of web but she quickly toughed up and kept on movin'. I was so proud. ---Note to self:Put treadmill on steep incline for over an hour to get buff legs--- My lower body strength wreaks!! I was soooo disappointed at my wusstiferness. This would be the reason my legs feel like wet noodles now. Anywho, we came back down the mountain and Tina and I decided to race....huh hmmm. Apparently me and Forrest are both fast runners. Tina's probably gonna shank me for mentioning this again, but I guess I'm just still in shock over whooping the pants off of her. :D Course, my lungs were about to wheezy burst so if we had to go any longer I would have fallen down the mountain or something from a lung explosion. Still a hoot though. Anywho, once we were back at camp, it was time to go so we put on our swim gear and drove out. The rafting was one of the funnest things I've ever done. It was breathtaking scenery and very blood pumping fun. I whacked myself in the nose with the t bar of my oar and that was pretty awesome. We flew out like popcorn on this one rapid after Tina bowling pinned us all, I promptly let my oar sail away, whacked my cheek bone on a rock under water, and proceeded to get stuck in a "washing machine" that made me a water whack-a-mole. The boat was stuck over me for what felt like quite some time and I thought, "well air would be cool at this point. No? More water...ok. What about now..." And then before I knew it, one of the guys from the other boat in our group was pulling me up by my life vest. I said,"oh! You're not my boat"....and looked to see it way down the river. So I thanked him and started swimming like a crazy woman. I finally caught up and as I turned to adjust myself to get pulled in, my hip bone was kind enough to locate a rock underneath me. Anywho, our guide on the second half was a bit of a stoner hippie type but turned out to be a ton of fun. He asked who wanted to cowgirl up and guide us over a class 4 rapid at one point and I jumped up and went to the back of the boat. It was awesome! He gave me a few pointers and then let me have at it, and we didn't die! Once I let him take over again, we were going through this one rapid(namely what he called "Fuzzy box of kittens") and he looked at us and said, "bye." and I thought, "pshh. I ain't flyin ou.....WHOA!!" and there I flew. I didn't whack any bones this time. But he was laughing when we all got back in because he said, "See, from my prospective, when you fall out and are trying to get back in on that rapid, it's like a fuzzy box of kittens clawing to get out of the white water." Sweet.
Ok, so I started this post a million days ago and decided it was time to go ahead and post, because I have a ton more write about. But that trip was soooo much fun. Tina and I, dare I say it??????, have become quite outdoorsy! We simply love camping and apparently can't get enough of it. Ok, that's it. I'll post a picture if I can get a good one.

WHOA NELLY!

It's been......a while since I've posted. I promise I've not died as some of you suspected. There have been quickbuilds, mom and dad in pioneer school leaving me to run the shop, camping and canoing, more quickbuilds, and coming up white water rafting(whoo hoo! So excited!) just to name a few. It's been one packed but very hoot having Summer.

A rather ginormous group of us went camping last weekend and had so. much. fun. Somehow, there were a few of them that were obsessed with cooking and keeping us all fed so we didn't even use the food we brought(except for a couple choice veggie weiners and peanut butter and chocolate smores----delicious) Our tent leaked because it literally came a monsoon in the middle of the night. Thankfully we were all up chatting and so we were able to make trenches from the floor fabric to keep the water from coming in on us. And where we weren't able to do that ingenious method, we stuffed beach towels. It wouldn't have been a true Hunter camping adventure without a leaking tent. Canoing was great. I didn't get burned(the first day) and Tina and I wouldn't have tipped the whole time if it hadn't been for a vindictive kayaking incident. We accidentally(but I'll admit I saw it coming and paddled a bit harder-heh heh heh)t-boned a guy from our group and flipped him right over which I did find hilarious but he came back for blood. But all the guys helped us get back to shore and empty the water out of our canoe. Tina's little purse she brought now smells like rotted pond fish gut. Oh and here's a nice tid-bit. The other day in the kitchen I went to finish off the Baked Lays by my "crushing the remaining chips and dumping the bag into my mouth(very classy" method and got a big ol' mouthful only to think, "woof! Something stinks/maybe tastes like rotted toilet! Oh! It must be the chips I just inhaled. Excellent" So turns out, they got a little wet as well. YUM.

Saturday night, 6 of us walked a trail in the dark. Eric is apparently some sort of hippy horse monkey or something in his spare time becauase I kept losing my flip flops and he kept insisting I take his shoes because he walks barefoot all the time, everywhere and he's quite used to it. Plus it was his idea to do the trail. Tina decided that if we were in a horror movie, which we very well could have been, that she would die first because she's blond, Austin would be next because he wears glasses, and at least one more of the boys would have died but I would survive for sure because, "The brunette always makes it out." But this crazy trail was some seriously treacherous terrain. There were wooden bridges built over some parts because there was gator water beneath us. And Tina kept mentioning that if this trail/bridge isn't in the best repair, we won't be able to see. But Eric said,"Oh, I'm sure they'd have it blocked off...or signs saying not to pass." to which Tina says, "How could we see any of this if it's there??" Poor thing is blind as a bat at night anyways and to quote her, "but without the wings and the fine sense of smell" and it was pitch black that night. So as we're walking, Jason trips over something on the bridge and we flip on our flashlights only to notice that a huge chunk of the bridge has indeed rotted and fallen off in the water leaving only a few good boards to walk over. I kept reminding Tina to breathe.... So she starts saying,"wouldn't it be great if we could end up back at the cars??" Well, I have no earthly idea how we managed to, but Jason comes running back to us to say, "You'll never believe it! Tina's prayers are answered, we're back at the cars!" Apparently we managed to make a huge circle of death right back to where we started. Crazy! Anyways , that was quite an adventure.

We got pulled behind a jet ski on Sunday and I had forgotten how funny it is to see someone fly off a flotation device only to skip like a huge flat stone across the water. I managed to burn the heck out of my thighs by being a "spotter". That way I got to ride on the jet ski a lot and was in charge of making sure whoever was being pulled was super safe and dandy...and of course to see the human flat skipping stone in action. Then smelling a bit like lake and aching in muscles we didn't know we had, we headed home. And in the four and a halfish or so hours home, I watched my thighs magically transform from a slightly warmish hued pastiness, to a glowing ember tone. Almost as enjoyable as getting up early to watch the sunrise.

But I thought it only fitting, since it has been so long, to post something from one of my favorite movies, Young Frankenstein.

"call it a hunch. barun chee."

Typing With Only 6 Fingers Can Be Fun!!

So it is just not my day today. I started it off by looking for glass cleaner in the cabinets in the shop and in doing so,slammed both my right ring and middle finger in between a door from each cabinet that wedge themselves together when opened. I dropped my keys and purse and ran into the house crying like a little girl. Now my fingers are looking nice, lovely, red, and swollen. I've been reassured by the two fingers that I do indeed still have a good steady heartbeat.... and I've been having to avoid using them while nailing and most recently re-gluing a broken chair back. Anywho, as I'm scraping the glue off one of the back slats, I go to hold the chair to keep it from sliding with my left hand........and in doing so lo and behold, I tightly secure a wasp in my left palm. He needless to say, was not in to being tied down in a relationship and promptly flew out of my life, leaving me with only a sting of where he had once been. I can't remember ever being stung by anything before but Lord-a-mercy them things hurt!!!!! So my granpa had just walked through our gate, only to be greeted by me starting to weep(for the second time today)as I ran away flailing my left hand. I think this is because I -just- told some friends last night that not much makes me cry. Thank you Murphy.

Uh-live and Kickin'

Pop sent this to me in an email and I've loved this song throughout the years, but have never bothered looking at the video. Now yall get to see it too. :)

and the most fabulous Alanis Morrisette:

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn



We went to a Chinese restaurant with the fam,DD, Tommy, and Brandon a few months ago and we all opened our fortune cookies and this was what they said. You know you can't help but read em' too....
Mine-"Pleasures await you by the seashore"
DD-"You would do well to work as a team in the coming week"
Tommy-"Don't give up. Your problem gets better next month"
Tina-"You will overcome difficult times"

Beach trip anyone??

These Are a Few Of My Favorite Texts..

So recently, I was having issues with my phone,the same issues that caused me to have to get a replacement not that long ago. Anyway, fearing that they would have to once again give me a replacement(Shock! I was right! These would have been lost forever), I thought to take note of my favorite text messages that I hated the thoughts of losing. Some of these I love for obvious reasons, some due to circumstance or timing, and still others just because they simply make me smile. So here they are. Names have been witheld to protect the innocent. HA

07/08 Random Smile List

2007

1. Lucero was the last band I saw in 07' and the first in 08'. Yippee! Love them. That was one heck of a fun concert.

2. Getting a B in my dreadfully tough Anatomy and Physiology 2 class. And....whipping out the truth to the entire class including the professor when I kept getting evolution slapped in my face. Boo ya! Oh, and not barfing while dissecting kitty. :(

3. The Thursday night meeting September 21st when Tommy announced a number and asked if it meant anything to anyone and then told us it would to dad because it was his new pioneer number. Then came mom's announcement......followed by Tina's.....and ending with mine. Tommy was so sneaky sneaky not telling us beforehand.

4. The Spencer's bringing over all manner of goodies for our house from theirs when my foot was broken. This included a corner cabinet and Ficus tree. Not only do they give us these, but deliver them! Service with a smile too. :)

5. Standing up for myself, sticking to my guns, and keeping my pride intact on one very important and hard occasion.....and not fainting.....

6. The burnt orange mums that mom got me when I broke my foot.

7. Working our cans off at the Assembly Hall and having my eyes opened to what will really make me happy. And all of the people that we have met because of it-YIPPEE!

8. The fam's first official quickbuild together.....even though I was on crutches. And then getting our assignments.

9. Getting to be at Music Fest with Kaetlyn, having her stay at our house, and the thoughts of her loving my eyeliner and using it every day.

10. Going to an Elvis concert! Ok, well almost..... He was the closest thing to Elvis I've ever seen or heard. (James Aaron Kelley)

11. My wonderful Florida vacation

12. Buying myself an iPod of my own!! Whoo hoo!

13. Tina getting happy again...sigh....

14. Being on our own for a whole year......How did this happen? :)

15. Getting Mr. Brister, Fizgig, Lil' Peanut, my dog. He's one big dopey baby. And I do mean big.

16. Granpa coming to mom and dad's almost every day since granny died. I've come to really look forward to him being there. Love that man.



2008

1. 1-11 Pioneer Day. Whoa nelly, I forgot how incredible those meetings were. I never want to stop.

2. 1-3 Getting my boot off. I've not made it in to heels yet, but I am wearing two, count em' two, shoes!! Yay!

3. Seeing the Foo Fighters again....for free. Oh, but then we had to pay all that money for parking...oh wait, no it was free too. Well, at least the only thing I had to buy was a beer and a pretzel. Never mind, that was free too. Thanks!! Yessssssssssssss.

4. Getting our treadmill. And getting it for not $190 as it was marked, but $156. I love that thing!....And that Tina and I are using it.

5. Tina paying off her credit cards. Sweeeeeeeet!

6. The Tigers being number 1!..and staying there!! Yay!!!!!

7. Turning in my application for nursing school and my letter that explains why I want in the program. It was weighing on me like a pink elephant, and by golly it just felt wonderful to turn the thing in just imagining that I might get in.

and finally:

8. 2-1 Drinking an AB as I'm filling the rest of this out. That makes any day a good day!


Tina will shank me if I don't give her props for the idea of a listy post. So here you are-your props :)

Joy, Jubilation, and Joey!!!!!!

Yes! That's me and #3 Joey Dorsey from the Memphis Tigers basketball team! Tina and I both have small crushes on him. Here's how this picture happened. Tina and I decided to go downtown to see a movie for the first time in forever. We saw 'I Am Legend' which was pretty dark but very good. So, we're walking to the theater, and I am decked out in my Tiger gear fully representin' with my shirt that you see here and my belt that says, "Go Tigers Go" over and over. And so this ginormously tall lurvly man walks by us and looks at me and says "Hey, good job representing the Tigers" and smiled and walked past us. So, I say, "YEAH-EH!" (wow-that was clever..yeesh) and as we're walking on, it finally clicks that, holy scnhikees, that was Joey Dorsey. And as I go to tell Tina this epiphany, I look at her and she has her mouth draped open and this goofy look on her face which needless to say certified that she knew who he was before I did. So then, we decide that we need to chase him down and get our picture with him. So we fly out the back door and begin the hunt. I'm still in my boot mind you. He crosses the street and makes it through a parking lot in record time, namely because he has 20' long, muscular, strong, built, rippling...oh um, sorry.....legs whose 2 steps equal about 20 of ours, maybe 25 for me because of my dumb hobble boot. Anyways, I just can't catch up and so I tell Tina to run after him and holler for him, but she is pretty worthless cuz she's giddy like a little school girl. So we lose him. We walk back in to get our movie tickets and hang our heads in shame and disappointment. Throughout the whole movie we would randomly look at each other and stick out our lips and say "Doh!" So then, we're walking out of the movie and guess who's getting a pretzel at the concession stand? Yes, that's right, it's our boy, Joey. Yippee! Commence dazed and confused stance for Tina again, except this time she manages to mumble to me, "Go get! Me want picture, too scared to get. You go talk" or well at least something along those lines and so I hobble up to him and say, "Joey, I'm gonna be obnoxious and ask if I can get my picture with you." Tina is standing safely at a distance next to a column. And he says, "Yeah, sure." So I start to talk to him like a retard. I almost called his coach Calimari(what we regularly call him) and fumbled words. But I call Tina over and she says, "I'll get your picture with him." And I say, "Ok, cool and then I'll get yours with him." And she says, "Heehee no...I'll just get yours hee hee" and he looks at her and says, "You don't want your picture with me?? :( " and she says,"Ok!" and thus the following......


I also asked him to sign a book for us. Tina and I walked away with our heads held high and our cheeks flush.
