Surviving Country

This past weekend Justin and I went out into the country.

And when I say "country"... I mean:

That's right. Two words that DO NOT belong together: Outside bathroom.

Now I don't consider myself a girly girl. Heck - trends die as soon as I start wearing them. I'm more what you'd call a t-shirt and jeans girl.

Justin has often confused this with "outdoor enthusiast girl".  Any t-shirt and jeans girl knows there IS a difference.

Still... I found myself in the country this weekend, so in a fight or flight situation I had to hone my country survival tips:

1. If you feel like something is crawling on you - check it! In fact, I recommend you develop a sixth sense enabling you to know where all bugs are at all times.  

2. Two words that should appear together more often: Breakfast beer.
 
3. Always be prepared:

4. This is perfectly acceptable country attire:

I also established survival tips for Justin... surviving Whitney in the country:

  
1. Be prepared stop, reverse, and coax any animal to glamour shot for me.

 

It only has ONE HORN!!!!

2. I am.... A badass at dominoes.

3. I find my sarcasm auto-increases in the wide open spaces of Texas. Case in point:
Justin: Have you seen a quail?
Me: Yeah... on a plate.

4. Accept the fact that when I finally do get cell reception... I WILL online shop.

Hello new shoes!

5. Running water. If I have to explain, you have missed the point.

All-in-all it was a good weekend and clearly I survived. But "no" babe. That does NOT make me an "outdoor enthusiast girl".
