Not much new...

That's the reason why I haven't updated recently. Just overall a pretty boring life! The most exciting things lately is that a couple of weekends ago, Andrea and I finally got to hang out again. Busy busy schedules! We ate at the Chatterbox, and then went and walked around Patina. I so <3 that store. Got to do it again sometime!

That night we did the Tombstone Trail with Shaun's friend Raska and my friend Peebs. It was a lot of fun. This year it was down around Rochester, so it was like, a two hour drive. Peebs just moved back up here from Arizona, so he wasn't at all used to the cold weather. And that had been the coldest night by far that night. We felt like we were doing horribly, it was the worst feeling. And the roads were scary! We'd be going up a hilll around a corner, and then all of a sudden they'd drop and turn. I think that all of our sphincters got a lot of exercise that night. We didn't get the mystery question, which probably means that our letter questions were all off. At any rate, as we were pulling up towards the end, Shaun told Raska to fill all of the questions out. I felt a faint niggling thought about that, but being caught up in the moment, I was urging Raska to hurry and get it filled. As it turns out, that was against the rules, to just guess at the answers (unlike college!!!). So because one other team was 1.5 hours late, we ended up getting the Dead Last award. Cool!!! The funny part is that the award for Dead Last was cooler than the awards for actually placing. Overall, it was fun, and Peebs and Raska were impressed and faintly shocked that the TT was actually challenging and fun. The people who won the costume award wasn't (or at least we don't think) it was the same people as last year. The winners were dressed up as 'Trailer Trash'. They were standing in line behind us, and they were HILARIOUS. What a great idea. Can't wait for next year.

Last weekend was season opener, and Shaun has so far managed to be the only person out of my family to provide meat for us in the upcoming year. What a great provider. Our apartment is still great, still like it a LOT better than the last one. I love the fireplace. I'm sitting with it on next to me as I am typing, and its warming me up. The cats love staring at it, too. Silly kitties!!

I don't know what we're doing this weekend, since Shaun really doesn't have to sit out in the woods again. Some time to finish my other paintings would be nice...! Anyway, take care, all!
