well, hubby started a new job yesterday after getting the boot the day back from our honeymoon in june!
we took a mini trip to ocean city/assateague island to celebrate and see the wild ponies. it was sort of the trip from hell i still have mosquito bites from a week ago. the best part was when we arrived and i was pulling out the tent to set it up and i said, 'oh, i hope i remembered to bring the fly....' and then dumped everything out and said 'oh s**t! i don't have the stakes!!! oh f**k!!! i don't have the poles either!!??!!!" so this was the next part of our trip...
to walmart.....
to buy the smallest tent on earth....

it said 5x6, tim is 6'1", i assumed that we'd fit fine, he just have to curl up a bit....i was wrong. he was so uncomfortable he got up around midnight to go sleep in the car while i stayed in the tent and slept diagonally and barely fit (i'm 5'4")....which is when the horses came stampeding into the campsite at 3am. they didn't amble into the campsite, they ran in snorting and then chomp, chomp, chomping on grass. so, i am peaking out trying to see them and if they were going to run over me....and my cell phone rings, somehow we managed to each have one cell phone with us. so we're on the phone (tent to car) discussing the horses and he puts on the back up lights so i can see them, and they are like 4 feet away from me and some are on the backside of my cheap ass tent with no window on the back so i can only see what's in front of me. i am trying to be cool and i tell him, that 'oh, i'm fine....just listening to the horses...." meanwhile, i am crapping my pants thinking that something is gonna spook them and they are going to trample me or start chewing through the tent....and speaking of crapping. even if the stampede hadn't woken me up, you could tell in the am that they were there, if you catch my drift.
moral of the story, wildlife is cool to look at, even up close, unless its 3am and you are in a midget tent by yourself.
