At least I’m a cute raccoon.
Written by Erica. Filed Under farming, life, relationships, summer
Mr. X and I had a very busy weekend. He had an urge to rearrange all of our furniture so that we could fit his New Bike! inside the house when we pick it up on Tuesday.
Did I mention he bought a bike?
So now our apartment is rearranged, providing Max with lots of stimulation for his little kitty-brain. Seriously, if you ever think your cat is getting bored with his life of being trapped in your home (especially when said home consists of 6 small rooms), just move things around. It’s like Disneyworld for cats.
Speaking of animals, Mr X finally ventured into our barn for the first time! Although we’ve been together over 5 years, up until now the barn has been one place he has adamantly refused to go. We were at the farm trading vehicles and talking to Dad when Dad suggested that we see where they will soon be building the new office and washroom (the barn has been recently majorly renovated. You might say, torn down and re-built). I immediately said YES! and we didn’t give Mr X a choice. Off we went! He wouldn’t touch any of the pigs (not even the day-old piglets), but I feel it was a major step in our relationship. I can scratch that marriage ultimatum off the list (I told him that the wedding would not go down unless he had gone into the barn. I don’t think he realized how serious I was).
On Sunday, Mr X, myself, Katelyn, Scott, Micaela and Kent went golfing. It was a beautiful day - except for the wind. Our course is often very windy and Sunday was no different. I was stupid and forgot to put on sunscreen. My legs, arms, and face are bright red. BRIGHT red…except where I was wearing my sunglasses, prompting this comment from Mr X later in the evening:
X: “You look cute.”
E: “Do I look like a cute tomato?”
X: “No…a cute raccoon.”
So there you have it. I look like a cute raccoon, slathered in aloe vera gel.

Ugh. My shoulders are burnt so badly that it hurts to type. I feel your racoony pain.

LOL Mr. X is funny. I like that he didn’t tell you right away that you look like a racoon, but told you that you looked cute first. Very smooth.
How could you forget to wear sunscreen!?! Tsk tsk! Do you have before/after photos of the new arrangement?
p.s. you’ve been tagged… =P
Mom didn’t wear sunscreen either on Sunday, and now the tops of her thighs are briiight red! I lent her my aloe vera from when my shoulders had 2nd degree burns though
