Spring Can't Get Here Fast Enough!
Bring on Spring! I can't wait! Warmth. Flowers. Grass. Cleaning. Vacation. I have self diagnosed myself: Cabin Fever. This crazy Southeast weather is depressing. Warm, cold, balmy, freezing. Wth? I'm ready for 60-70 degree weather. Baseball. Nascar. Fishing. And yes! Camping!!! Brandon and I are planning hiking trips. I'm sooo excited. We were looking into some trails in Northeast GA right at the NC border...then that poor girl was decapitated by some homeless dude (on one of the trails we were thinking about hiking) eek! But. We've found a great place to hike. Panthertown Valley, NC!!! Gorgeous mountains, lots o falls, beautiful views, etc. And speaking of trips that get me out of Chattanooga, Mom and I are talking about going to Mexico this May. For Mom and Dad's 24th anniversary, Mom is sending Dad tuna fishing off the coast of LA with my grandfather and uncle. Kinda manly man. She's been wanting to use her 250,000 flyer miles to travel somewhere sunny and sandy and south of the border, but Dad won't fly. Sooo she's sending him fishing like he wants. Mom was thinking of going on her lil Mexican vaca ALONE. Wth?!? I told her, uh, no...no solo vacations to Mexico. I don't want some creepster to attack her down there! She suggested I go with. Sooo...now I have to get into some form of bathing suit body. God help. Hell, I may hire a trainer, who knows? OH, and Mom and I are doing this mother/daughter "Women in the Wilderness" class in March. LoL we saw brochures at the Tractor Supply store this past weekend. Basically, some outdoors group is hosting this thing. They offer classes, such as Rifle Shooting, Archery, Maps and Compasses, Backyard Habitat, Bluebird Houses, Step Stones, um...Gun Cleaning and Maintence, Shotgun Shooting, Ospery Habitat in Chickamauga, etc. We get to take three classes, our choice, and they provide lunch and souveniers and giveaways and raffle. I think this will be fun! I think we signed up for Shotguns, Backyard Habitat, and Stepping Stones? Maybe...I can't remember. We'll have fun at Redneck 101! I wonder if we need to bring our own guns? Hm. OH, and going back to the whole possible trips thing, my BFF Hogan wants us to save up some money and hit the beaches as well! She got a larger tax return than planned, so instead of giving in to her boyfriend and buying a some big flatscreen, HDTV, she's saving it for a trip! I haven't got my taxes done yet, but I'm def gonna save, save, save! Gosh, I can' wait for spring!!!
