Sorry it’s been a few dayssince I last wrote. It has been really cold and snowy and my satellite dish had collected a nice little snow drift up there on top of the house.
Since it was -20 degrees (yes that’s MINUS 20 degrees) with lots of wind and mainly because I’m a wimp when it comes to cold weather I wasn’t very excited about climbing up there and sweeping the snow away. So I just waited for the snow to drift somewhere else which it did today. So in honor of having my internet back we will not be showing any snow photos today – I promise. How about some nice warm pictures of a trip I took with the girlfriends to sunny Texas instead?
It was April 2008. It was beautiful and warm. And it was snowing like crazy – at home. Hee Hee Hee!
But we were 9 Moms on Spring Break on South Padre Island and we didn’t care about the howling winds and the 3 feet of snow in South Dakota.
No siree!
There were no children, no husbands, and no hungry cows and horses to feed.
I don’t think they even allow those things on Padre Island.
At least that’s what I told my family when I left. Can you believe they actually bought it?
But Padre Island did have a few things we didn’t have back home…
Ah… the fragile beauty,
and the exotic wildlife,
and the steamy sunsets,
and the crazy tourists,
(Yep, that’s me)
And my big blue feet and my ‘glow in the dark’ shockingly white midwest legs.
Scary – isn’t it?
Did you know your feet turn that color from the cold winter weather in South Dakota?
And your legs never do tan because 11 months out of the year it’s too cold to wear shorts.
It’s sad, but true.
Maybe I should go back to Texas. You know – for the health of my blue feet and ‘glow in the dark’ legs. I really think I should.
It makes sense to me but do you think Hubby will buy it?
Maybe – if I don’t show him this picture.
Who was that cute kid and why is he laid out on the table like a slab of beefcake in front of a sign that says “I got my crabs at Daddys”?
I forget.
Wait…
What was I talking about?
