Topics I am considering writing about, or further proof that I am not as bright as I'd like to believe
April 29, 2011-the time I walked into a steam room holding a handful of Hershey's Kisses
-as an awkward and (needless to say) extremely white junior-high school student with a mouthful of braces, chose to perform a monologue spoken by "Mama" in "Raisin in the Sun"
-the time I sprayed red-pepper spray at a menacing stranger but lost my nerve and aimed for his ankles
-when I fully believed my summer-camp friend who told me she could get Paul McCartney and Wings and ELO to attend my Billy Joel musical
-the day I hit myself repeatedly in the foot with a hammer, for what I believed was medical reasons
-when I broke my tailbone because I slipped holding a cocktail and I didn't put my arms down because then I'd spill my drink
-when I (after a few drinks) told Gloria Steinem I loved her and her "whole feminist thing"
-a trillion even more idiotic things I have done while drunk, sleepy, panicked, or all three
If any of these sound especially intriguing to you, let me know, and I'll see what I can put together, for your amusement.

Thanksgiving is an amazing time for me and my family.moncler jacken , We all get together, eat, pray, laugh, and just have a good ol?time.moncler outlet , Once the festivities are over, it is also a tradition for my brothers and me to go hunting.mbt shoe , Most of my girlfriends get grossed out at the fact that I go hunting with the guys, but growing up in a house full of them, one learns that you have got to hang with them or get left behind. So as a result I got to learn all the fun and exciting things that makes men think they are men. And I know it must irk them that their little sister is able to do just as much as they can and in some cases more. I put on my Carhartt outerwear and take off with them.
Of course, the hunting worries our mother to death. So last year for Christmas, she bought us all matching Carhartt High-Visibility Vests from Red Hill General Store (Found in the Carhartt mens clothing section). She ordered them in bright orange, no less. Don't tell mom, but I did take a peek at what they have their Carhartt High Visibility vests priced at, and they are reasonable at $24.99-$32.99. The price depends on the style and size you get. But, with me being a hunter, I would strongly advise you to get one of these vests if you are going to be out in the woods during hunting season. Even if you aren't a hunter it is much better to be safe rather than sorry. An overeager hunter will sometimes shoot before thinking, and especially during twilight, the shadows of the trees can play tricks on your mind. But bright orange or florescent yellow is definitely not a color of nature and seeing those colors throws up a warning in the mind of a hunter.
Even though orange isn't my favorite color, I do feel safer out in the woods knowing that I am easy to see, and am obviously not an animal to be hunting. Although, my brothers will argue that I am an animal. They just jealous that I can hang with the guys. Thanks to my carhartt outdoor wear.
This year I decided to keep in the fashion of bright orange, andsince I don't tolerate cold well, I got a Carhartt 2 in 1 Fleece Headwear to match, it is also high visibility, which makes the hubby and mama happy. And as every family knows, when mama happy, everybody happy.
There only one thing that would make me safer and happier while out hunting the ever elusive moose with my brothers, and that would be if Carhartt overalls were high visibility, but for now, I抣l just wear my Carhartt vest over my bibs. I love my Carhartt womens clothing .
Once the hunt is over, we all head back to the warmth of mom and dad cabin, pile up on the couch together and have some coffee and pumpkin pie, vanilla ice cream on mine. And we amuse everyone with how close we came to getting that moose or, if we played our cards right, we have a prize that we bring back with us. But, on holidays, I do occasionally use the girl card, and I let the guys take care of the skinning and all that fun, gross stuff while mom and I catch up on some of the girl talk. We don't get to do a lot of that when the guys are in the house horsing around and being obnoxious and noisy. But then boys will be boys.
