Well, as you can see, I survived! I have to admit that I did have fun and had a bad attitude before we left to go camping… Just to get that out there. We left Thanksgiving morning at around 7am, which was a little tough considering how many beers I had the night before. But I womanned up and got my ass in the truck. We had a few issues getting out of town, but were able to make it to our camp site safely. After starting setting up camp and starting the bbq for the pig, I realized that it was a holiday and it’s perfectly acceptable to start drinking before noon. So, I was thankful for beers at 10am! It started to snow and didn’t stop much until the next morning, but it was so beautiful and quiet. We saw some wild turkeys out in a field (the actual birds, not the whiskey), which I assume they were so brave because they could smell the pig cooking and not their own. Dinner was great, ate way too much and the combination of that plus all the beers I drank all day resulted in me going to bed at around 8. I also want to admit that the non-friends that I mentioned before weren’t too bad! Although, I find it extremely strange and uncomfortable when people you don’t know very well tell you incredibly personal things. Really, what are you supposed to say when an acquaintance tells you about her drug problems and how her boyfriend hides her existence from some of his friends? Response: “Hugs not drugs, but not from me” and “Score for you I guess.” Jeeping the next day was good, it was a nice day and the Dramamine, Kahlua, beers, and peppermint schnapps ensured my level of contentment and cheerful mood! We also stopped a lot, which I liked so I could rescue my beers from the cooler! We ate leftovers for dinner, and then it was cocktail hour, which I would like to thank that certain someone for giving me that half gallon bottle of Black Velvet! My beef cake broke his jeep on Saturday morning so he had to go to town to get some parts… exit path lit up! I sweet talked my way into leaving that day and going home. It was fun, but I was ready for a shower and my bed. So, I successfully pulled that off without causing beef cake too much disappointment, which was appreciated! Seriously, I am thankful for so many things, mostly people. I am certain that my quality of life would surely suck if it weren't for many people. I am thankful for my parents, who put up with my nonsense and actually think I'm funny. My brothers, who encourage my shenanigans and usually assist in such tom foolery. My dear sweet god sons, they amaze me! And, certainly the beef cake, I never knew anyone but my family could tolerate my on going nonsense, I am forever grateful for his patience and love! Hope everyone, or the three or four people that actually read this, had a great holiday and ate and drank too much like me!
