I mega owe you guys pictures, but this computer
doesn't have anything to edit (nor would I be any good at editing, and
it'd be annoying and painful to resize all those) so a photo dump will
be done when I return home. I promise.
On the other hand, I'm SO DEAD. Early night tonight!!
Saturday the 2nd started off quite slowly. I was bored, lots of 'grr' emotions passing through me. I hadn't slept well because there's this annoying fan above my head that sounds like howling wind. Rawr. Last time I checked the clock it was about 4am before I gave up and messed with the fan above me. Got up and was moving around by 7:30. Breakfast the old ladies (Mamaw and Ruby) made for me, poptarts and orange juice. They're such nice ladies... I'll give a bit of history on them some other day.
Anyway I was all clean by 8:30, no fan in the shower room, oh well. Lee was being antisocial and rather lazy kinda ... hrm...
I'm really not sure what I think of Ruby's (or is it Mamaw's..) chihuahua named Ginger. I mean...it's a freaking chihuahua. Anyway, I won't comment much. She's a happy healthy little dog.
Eventually (around nine?) lee and I went walking. Covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time, eventually wound our way back down and over to his cusin's place. Through the gate we saw (as we walked up he came towards us) the horse I've heard about. He was ridable and 'the girls' rode him. (there passes one of the ATV's...)
ahem so we get up there, dogs barking at us, horse following, and minor chaos... out pop 'the girls' Natalie and Carlie (carlie being the friend).
In their Jammies...it's 10ish...Dunlap time, as I later learn is different from Chattanooga time... Ok.
Anyway hiking with Lee continued as we went in search of cows and donkeys (and found cow bones, and donkeys, but no cows). A kid (Nathanial/nay) came with us, making a fun little game out of it and showing us all the 'spots' in the woods. Lots of pictures were taken.
Eventually we 'landed' at the river. Where the girls popped out on the 4wheeler and I was all "aw i wish I could go"...and got invited! I felt bad for ditching Lee, they said we'd be right back but apparently time isn't important out here so ok! I had SUCH a ball. Really seriously amazing awesomeness HART.
Rent here is so cheap! For a decent place it's only $400ish a month, Natalie wants me to rent from her parents since they have propert out here and then we could be friends :B
SO the horse. The horse is a Tennessee Walking horse named Echo. Black with a little star, he's this short thing. Clearly hasn't had a vet, wormer, good enough feed or his feet done in awhile. Turns out his owners didn't really know how often you needed to do that, let alone a person to do them. EEK. (found out today that she's just 'not going to' do his feet every 6-8 weeks, more like every 3 or 4 months... oy vey.) They also keep a halter on him at all times and he has a sore in his nose :( Got him for free...
ANYWAY. I rode him around after Natalie shown me how 'bad' he was. Really he just needs a firm and consistent rider, I tried to convey this to the girls but got pouted at a lot. I felt a bit bad, and quite a bit like a drill Sargent "SIT UP" and "KICK!" shaking my head as he goes his way because she wasn't firm enough. I hop on board and got him stopping, turning, trotting, and a little canter out of him too!
Something that bothers me though is how much he coughs, he coughs alarmingly often while going up hills. Not even having to run.
There's about seven dogs, two weenies (one named chilli, who likes to run in front of cars and under horses because they don't use leashes...)
Beauty and (bear, i know that's not his name...) are related (pics later) 'bear' is her puppy, Beauty was a stray. She's quite pretty.
Delta is this long haired setter cross that's so mellow and awesome.
There were other dogs, I think? Not sure..
Oh! while ATVing we saw a snake. I got pictures...probably just a rat-snake or something. I really doubt it was deadly.
Rode double a bit on Echo, not very far though...he was acting up a bit and I didn't want Natalie to fall.
Was declared her and Carlie's "new best friend" which was very much awesome...and was called cool a few times.
Ate dinner here, had a cheeseburger and some tater wedges :3
then headed back up there when Natalie failed to come pick me up at 7:30(pm). Had shown her where I lived previously and she fell in love. Yes, I live in a beautiful place, I know I know.
Natalie's family had a cookout, hot dogs and chilli, I sat out, having eaten. But still was a bunch of fun. Had some smores, got 'harassed' by Echo. Kicked and back-handed Nay. I felt bad but he was REALLY annoying me and no matter how nicely I asked he wouldn't. Rawr.
Told the girls my 'life' story...
Got some life story back, then went 4wheeling in the dark...got asked the 'dreaded' question.
"Do you believe in god"
Ok so I don't mind other peoples beliefs. Whatever floats your boat you know? I'm pretty passive and won't judge you on that. I'll give Natalie the benefit of the doubt of her age and to not know better... but the one thing you don't do to someone who says 'no' is ask why AND try to convert them. No, just no, we've all heard it before, if we wanted to, if we did, we would. I really love to hear why people believe in him, it's nice and it's good to know some people still have faith, everything happens for a reason but only so much even could be him.
Unless we no longer have free will.
I've had a headache for the past couple of days. (sunday, woo)
Everyone thinks Lee and I are an item, and while he may wish, there's nothing like that between us. He's the sweetest guy I know, but my potential mates need to be at least a little more educated..if not a ton. Poor guy, stuck in the 'friend zone.'
So I'm toasted and sunburnt, but have no ticks. WOOHOO for common sense! Pants and long sleeves as much as you can while bush-whackin.
Got home around 12:30. I'm sleeping less here then I was at home!!
SUNDAY APRIL 3rd!
God it was hard to wake up today :(
Grannies/Aunties? Made up some biscuits and sausage (just biskits for me) for breakfast. Yummy :3 Mamaw shown me some pictures of Lee as a babe and her family. It's incredible to see 'pictures' of people over a hundred years ago. Like their mom as a young thing, and them as young people. I wish I could draw like that!
Slow morning really. Wasn't out of the house until around 10:30 (told I'd meet the girls at 9ish, was up at 7... only 10 because they're on Chatanooga time.)
I thought today would be very busy, but it wasn't really.
Sleeping in tomorrow that's for sure. The wind is howling and there's some bad weather due.
Went up to Natalie's again got Echo saddled and rode a bit some more. Talked with peoples more (Natalies dad wanted everyone to ride Echo that day...um...not something I'd suggest.) Today honestly felt so unproductive with the girls. Natalie never seemed to get out of her 'tired' mode and seemed drained and a bit crabby. That's alright I guess, but did give me some odd vibes. Carlie was awesome and a real go-getter. Both fo them need some serious riding lessons though.
Honestly I feel bad for Echo, I won't get in to it though :( Poor confused boy.
SO I was out of there by 12:30, aunt Julia suppose to be driving up from Georiga to see us. She was due around 12ish and I hadn't seen anyone pull in to Ruby's driveway. So headed back, checked FB and saw she got lost!
So she arrived around 1ish instead. Got a tour of the house and we went off to eat lunch. Had some delicious $4!!!! French Dip down in Dunlap. Funny how all we could talk about was silly stupid family matters but that's alright.
Ginger did NOT like Julia's hubby. .. eek.
After she left (umm... 4ish?) Lee and i started to walk up towards Natalie's again, but she came by on the ATV to let us know they were leaving (aww bummer) and that's a no-go. Hopefully I'll get a chance to drive the ATV later though.
Anyway more walking with lee (there are wild dogs here, oooo) and enjoyed that. He seems to be feeling really well about himself. Doing better and even asking for constructive criticism. Headed back for dinner, had some Lee-version pepper steak and watched how to train your dragon. Now I'm here, writing this.
Random things;
I've had a bloody nose (almost constant) for the past couple days. Makes my nostrils really crusty and blood just randomly flakes out. Ewww.
Julia brought me a pretty little necklace and bracelet thing. Not sure if the bracelet will fit but we'll see! :)
They have sulfur wells here...
and my new hoodie? It's 'long' because it HAS THUMB HOLES. SQUEE.
and that is all for now, I'm SO going to bed :D
