I won't blame you for the heat, I'll just apologize.<br /><br />I promise it won't be this bad next Summer. It can't. Or I'm moving.

I'm so sorry - how you suffered from my lack of preparation. What a learning experience indeed.<br /><br />It was so good to read your post and remember... that WAS an awesome trip. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my life... I'm sure I've never been that cold. In fact my digits can't handle even the slightest cold since that trip; it's amazing they didn't fall off. I've never been so happy to sit by a dryer in a public laundromat ever before... the candy helped too (was it swedish fish?).<br /><br />Do you remember the BEAR... breathing heavily outside our tent at the bottom of the chisos mts? I was certain we'd die. Or my brilliant idea of soaking beans in water all day while hiking and anticipating they'd hydrate into succulent heavenly goodness only to remain hard little pebbles from hell? The LAST thing you want to eat after hiking 20 miles.<br /><br />How about hot springs and locals drinking from bleach bottles?<br /><br />Remember when we went to the grocery store and saw a REAL cowboy with spurs and everything scrape his boots off on a video rack?<br /><br />That's the first time I've had chicken fried steak... (and you'll be able to eat it daily!! - when do you move??)<br /><br />I wonder if I have those tiny tapes from our tent recording sessions. Hilarious.<br /><br />Do you recall the coup attempt? <br /><br />I'm certain that there's no way I would've had such a great time if you weren't my travel buddy. Your humor kept us all afloat and probably kept you from killing me. <br /><br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)<br /><br />-jenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389896729464035127.post-79580618393615787822011-02-20T00:26:49.288-06:002011-02-20T00:26:49.288-06:00hi dear!

JK, obviously (I was involved in the girl scout escapades and thought our fun mischief was always worth being kicked out of/asked to leave things). <br />Texas is so lucky to be getting Team Regas!

I'm pretty excited to live where there is some sunshine. but I'm telling you, get yourself some Dick's to prepare! <br /><br />Julie: That was SO funny. We are in the process of buying a house and my husband wanted to separate the two car garage instead of having one huge opening. Something about how he's scared of me crashing my car into his and having two cars smashed up. Sadly, it's a legitimate fear. <br /><br />Thankfully, I also have a forgiving husband.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917013165676755612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389896729464035127.post-74747326333356735612011-02-17T10:50:56.680-06:002011-02-17T10:50:56.680-06:00Okay, now I know I can say this out loud (type? wh...Okay, now I know I can say this out loud (type? whatever).<br /><br />When our local Chick's sporting goods store was bought out by Dick's, I giggled like a twelve-year-old boy at the headline:<br /><br />chicks with dicks.<br /><br />Not proud. Just honest.<br /><br />And seriously? Duct tape and plastic wrap must accompany me everywhere I go in case of disaster.<br /><br />Yesterday? I rammed my too-tall truck (with ski racks) into a parking garage that (apparently) had a sign warning me of the six-foot clearance.<br /><br />After the racks had completely snapped off, I wrapped duct tape around them (so my husband wouldn't leave me for katy perry) and texted him a very long apology.<br /><br />He says he forgives me, but I may be moving to Texas, too.julie gardnerhttp://juliecgardner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389896729464035127.post-7182103372784867562011-02-17T10:18:33.311-06:002011-02-17T10:18:33.311-06:00"all dicks are liars....." best. line. e..."all dicks are liars....." best. line. ever.
