***For some of you, youve heard this story already.. but I will sum it up for the ones that dont know.
So yesterday (Wednesday) --well let me back track further... Mike is away right now @ Ft. Polk, LA, and he wont be home till after the 15th (thats a story in itself!), So Ive had my share of "walking duties" the past week or so..Anyhow.. Mike usually walks them in the mornings, and I take up evening duties. But since Mike has been gone, its like they wont poop for me.... like Im not their usual "morning walker" so it messes them all up. AAAAAAnyways! ha!
So Astro hasn't pooped all day, right... and its about 7pm by now, and I know he needs to... he's just got to find the "perfect spot", as always.
-sidenote- the weather that day had been super crazy! rain...sun...windy... calm... rolling clouds...40 degrees out.. 65 degrees... really weird.-
So Im walking... and walking...and walking... and the wind is blowing and blowing.. and blowing... and has no sign of letting up. Im talkin 35mph winds.. with gusts up to like 40 or so. And behind our house is like this park, with all these pine trees.. and its quite nice during the day to walk them down this way. So I head down there, thinkin there are plenty of trees for Astro to find his "perfect spot".
Well I am lookin up at these pine trees as the wind is blowing them from left to right, like they are weightless...I hear this crackin noise..and I think to myself.. dang these trees sound like they are about to crack in half.. I better get outta here. And wouldnt ya know it.. I turn and Astro has decided to take a crap right about now.. and the cracking has become louder behind me.... I turn my head and begin to hear this tree about 30-40 feet from me crackle at the roots.. and I just knew that S.O.B. was about to fall over on me!
Mid-poop.. I start to run away from this tree, in hopes that I will miss it as its shouting "Tiiiimmmmmmmmber!" from its inner roots..
and again.. wardrobe played a part in my hustle as my life flashed before my eyes (Crocs™, baggy sweat pants, a scarf, a beanie, and NO BRA!!!) Not the best "running" gear if ya know what I mean.
So Im literally DRAGGING both of the dogs.. (astro still hunched over pooping) as this tree halfway uproots, and totally snaps at the base of it, and THANKFULLY falls over in the OPPOSITE direction from which I was scurring away!
*************WHEW!!!*************
Thats all I can say!
It totally threw me for a loop.. as I thought to myself, "Did this shit just happen??" lol Well as the what-ifs took over I came home and hopped in my truck and went up to Checkers, to get a old-fashion chocolate shake! HA~! Fat girl gotta sulk a lil! LOL
So overall, I was reeeeeeally lucky. And going to check out the damage this morning was really cool of course because it again made me think... gosh I cant believe that damn thing timbered the other way.. what if the wind would have blown it towards me. Would I have survived that crap!??

Carpe freakin diem! lol
