Yesterday was glorious, I went to the dentist, was given some painkillers, and finally felt like a real person again. Durae came over, we decided to go for a nature walk down by the river near my house. Off in the distance we saw some baby ducks, though we knew it was going to be muddy, we decided to go for it. What we did not anticipate was just how muddy we were about to get. Sandy river beds are more like quicksand than anything else, we ended up thigh deep in mud, a few times we were worried for our survival, and more importantly the survival of our shoes. Of course by the time we actually got to where the ducklings had been, we were covered in mud, and a touch nervous about trying to make our way back. Fear of death did not stop us from taking a few photographs along the way.
By the time we got back to my house the electricians were outside loading up their van, they just stared at us, I imagine they would have laughed but probably figured laughing at the bosses daughter was a bad idea. They laughed later. We looked ridiculous, but it was probably the most fun I have had in a very long time.
After we hosed ourselves off, had our fill of mushroom soup and dutch chocolate flavored coffee, read all of my fashion magazines, discussed which houses we loved this season, and which we hated, and looked at all of my grandmothers old jewelry, Katrina came over. We spent the rest of the evening singing ABBA at the top of our lungs, driving around in her daddy's truck. Sometimes I forget how amazing my girlfriends are.
