Sat. morning I went with
guardianhunter to check out TCU in Ft. Worth. Found out while driving around the area to find a bank for Anna, that the Botanical Garden/Japanese Garden is having some sort of happening going on next weekend that I told bubba I would like to check it out. If memory serves me right,
telophase posted some pics of the place last yr.
Later Anna treated me to sushi at Tokyo One. *YAY sushi!*
On the way home, I checked my cell phone since I didn't take it in with me while eating and I saw that mom called. I knew something was wrong cause mom NEVER calls my cell phone. Called her back to see what was up and she told me that grandma died that day. I'll put the rest of the babbling behind a cut.

On Sunday, I went with bubba for the first time since he's been doing this, on going out with some of the ppl from his work that go wherever riding on their motorcycles. This time around was smaller, only 5 of us. The ride wouldn't have been overly bad if it wasn't so damn windy AND it was cold as FUCK Sun. morning around 8am when we were supposed to meet up. Bubba talked me out of wearing long-johns under my sweatpants and told me to wear jeans. As soon as we got on the highway, my legs got so cold, I was afraid I would develop frost bite in no time and pleaded with him to stop at Walmart. So we did and it was so funny cause of how crazy we looked all bundled up yet still out on a motorcycle. Bubba told me to just buy a pair of sweatpants to put over top of my jeans and he bought himself a pair of long-johns for under his jeans. The ladies were nice enough that worked there in the fitting room (one of the managers was around while I was putting the sweats on and bubba was talking to her) to allow us to go ahead and wear the stuff out of the store. They had one of the girl's walk us up to the counter so the cashier knew what was going on. I also bought a scarf and that helped out sooooooo much on keeping me warm. That's the last time I'll listen to hubby about what to wear or not to wear. If I get hot, its not like I couldn't take a layer of clothing off.
When we did finally meet up with the guys, the one guy Bill said that I looked like the kid from A Christmas Story movie. I told him I also felt like how they would dress up Maggy Simpson in her snowsuit. I was so bundled up that when bubba introduced me to everyone, he's like "underneath all of those layers, there is a woman under there." *lol*
Later Bill was having problems with the zipper on his chaps. The pit-stop we made on the way back, he was messing with it again and I told him, if he would quit using them in the bedroom, he wouldn't have that problem. He busted up laughing but then again, he seemed like a really nice cool guy. He's old enough to be my father.
Bubba was telling me this morning about what future plans they would like to do or go in regards to the rides. One might be a trip to Arkansas and another in Oklahoma. I think my ass might be able to sustain those long trips as long as we do enough pit-stops.
For those that missed the entry, here is what the motorcycle looks like.

UGH! I got so much stuff to write or catch up on writing. I still have yet to finish Rukia's quickies and now for this week on the community, they are doing the potluck but not sure if I'll participate on that one. Granted it would be easier since both Renji and Rukia were part of the characters to use but the prompts I guess you could say are Halloween based: Doing this a bit different, with Halloween around the corner you can either make these Halloween themed or use the following prompts: costume, vampire, candy, orange, ghost, pirate, harem dancer, skeletons, trick-or-treat, jack-o-lantern.
It's all up to what my brain will allow me to work with. If I don't get them done after the two weeks are up, I'll still work on them but they just won't be posted to the comm. (so don't hold your breath on me doing those).
PLUS I still have to get my ass in gear on putting thoughts down for my
het_challenge assignment. I have to get that done by Dec. *headdesk*
