What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin…(pffttt, bitch, I’ve got a blog!!)



Hello peeps, sorry that I have been so blah blah lately.  I have been working, and working, and working, and working at the cabin, and getting my girls ready for the end of the school year and summer vacation plans, and working, and working, and working at home, and working.








Sense the general theme here?  However, that being said, I did take the time to take part in some serious shenanigans at our family cabin.  









Let’s just say that this involved around 10 bottles of wine, 3 + cases of beer, some rather large marshmallows and 8 adults (semi adult acting).  (Well, really only 1 adult didn’t participate, he stood aside shook his head and mocked us during our low points.  But we can always count on Papa to put the idea in our heads and let us take all of the fool credit. )

Typical View






Even better

It’s a bad sign when your Mommy has to bake the cabin “neighbors” a berry cobbler to “apologize” for all of the noise and shenanigans that your adult children made at the bonfire until 2:30 a.m.  (Well, we think it was 2:30 a.m., we are relying on my sister’s using her one good focusin’ eye to tell the time)
At least this time, no one threw a wine bottle full of gas on the bon fire, and no one fell in the bon fire, and I didn’t throw my flaming marshmallow on my sister’s lap (again), no one threw up, and no one fell over into their own stream of steaming pee while trying to squat.  (I know NOTHING about this ONE…..NOTHING)  


Give me your beer BITCH

And now I've wet my pants...again.

Pony rides anyone??  ANYONE??


No one tried to play mountain golf in the dead of night and got lost, and no one got kicked out of the mountain biker bar that is down the street, and praise the baby HeyZeus, no one wet their pants laughing.  The last one gets a little difficult when you get around my brother in law, because when he is on….HE IS ALWAYS ON.  That man hurts my abs and causes me to purchase poise pads as part of my “cabin” list.


View from Back Cabin

WOOT WOOT, New Bath-house!


The Dreaded BACK CABIN




This trip, we didn’t have any “bat” issues in the back cabin!  “Bat” issues you say…..well, let me tell you.  See, the back cabin is one of those old logging cabins that you can pick up and move anywhere.  It’s a very dark box with windows, and if you have ever been camping or in the woods, you know that it gets DARK DARK DARK up there.  



So, hubby and I are lying in bed in the back cabin, we have one ankle biter in the twin bed next to us and another ankle biter across the room in another twin bed.  Hubby and I have stumbled from the bon fire and are proceeding to saw some serious alcoleholie snores in the dark dark room.  Suddenly, Hubby leaps from a prone position to jumping around the bed like some crazed dog doing butt circles trying to catch his tail, all the while screaming madly.  This causes me to rise like an autobot Stepford Wife while belting out a massive scream that would rival ANY fucking horror flick you have EVER seen.  Finally, my own screams pierce my beer fog and I jump out of the bed and scream for my hubby to quit leaping around the bed like a meth-ed out lab.  My girlies are staring at us with a “What the fuck now look??” and I get everyone to take a breath.  We finally figure out that while lying on his side, my hubby’s arm has fallen asleep.  Said arm, while sound asleep has whacked him in the face, causing him to believe that a “bat” was trying to eat him.  He was attempting to “save” his girls and attack the bat (hence the bed butt circles and screaming) Once we established that the “bat” was really his own arm, I think I laughed so hard that even my poise pad had trouble keeping up with the flow. (Damn kids).  Thank the lordy above that this trip was “bat” free.

Outdoor Shower!!  WOOT WOOT

I did shower naked under the stars, and I did fall (as to be expected a couple of times) 

Scene of the Crime

MMM...velvet cake and WINE...WINE WINE


I DID try TRY TRY to kick ass in Sequence.  Usually, my team goes down in flames (I’m usually partnered with my Mom, who at this point in the evening is giving me the one eye).  This time I was partnered with my brother and my hubby was partnered with my brother in law.  Their team proceeded to hand us our asses on multiple occasions.  My brother (Lord, love him) plays the same as my Mom….I think next time I’m gonna have to call ho’s before bro’s and partner up with my Sis in Law or my Sister for the win.  Damn those boys and their big black bad ass chips.


I did agree to eat bear meat (NASTY), I did move a ton of gravel, I got dirty, and I absolutely had a FABULOUS time with the best family ever!

And a BIG BIG thank you to the BEST brother ever...who brought my own water so we could all drink me.

"W" is for the Walking Dead...DUH



The Walking Dead.....one of the BEST FREAKING ZOMBIE/END OF THE WORLD TV SHOWS...EVER!!

If you don't watch it, go bang your head.  I know, I know, that is not nice, but seriously if you can get past the blood and guts it is AWESOME.  The story lines, the reality of the situations, the sheer drama and...and...and...and... I can't find the right word.  The Apocalypse of it all....(even that word is wrong)  


The Walking Dead makes you think....what would you do....what decisions would you make....what changes to your personality would come out....would you be able to make those tough decisions to go back and save other people at the peril of your own family or those that you are with.  Would you make the same decisions as Shane or would you be more like Rick, always putting yourself on the line for your family and for everyone else in your group??

You head spins on Sunday night as you lay in bed, thinking of all the ways that this show would impact your life if something like this happened.  A virus breaks out and kills a majority of the population, turning some to "Walkers" and leaving the rest to pick up the pieces of humanity.  


How would you react?  Would you give up or would you fight??  What if you got pregnant?  If you had children still alive, what would you do....would you show them to fight or would you have them give up?? How would you handle bringing a baby into this brave new world?  The show is just incomparable.  It makes the list of my top favorite ever, and is the only TV show that I would consider buying the series once it has concluded.  

So before the new season starts in the Summer....get your ass in gear and start watching Season 1 and Season 2 - there WILL be a quiz!!
