Mini-Vacation: Day 4
Saturday was the Poker Run for Make a Wish Foundation; Jim (Clayton's step-dad) and I went. I can count the number of times I've ridden on the back of a motorcycle on both of my hands...but I'm slowly becoming addicted...which means that sometime down the road (possibly very soon) Clayton is going to have to purchase a motorcycle. Of course, I had to dress the part (when in Rome, and all that jazz)...I can't be a biker babe/motorcycle mama in khakis and dress shoes. So Cris lent me her vest (you must belong to someone/something, or you're up for the taking - according to the rules of a motorcycle gangs [I guess]) and Harley Davidson clogs, I went out Saturday morning and bought a pair of black shorts from Meijer (clearance for $10) and then I already had a black tank...so that was my outfit. I thought I looked pretty good. When we got to the first stop I noticed that none of the other women were wearing shorts (Jim said it was cuz they were afraid to get road rash - which might have been half true...but then why were many of them wearing next to nothing on the top half? A mystery.) but that didn't stop the compliments on the shorts (from two girls) or the overall compliments (from the guys, most of whom were old enough to be my dad!)...still a compliment is a compliment, especially when my man is half a world away (which means I rarely get any compliments)...Jim had to beat them off with a stick. :o) Along with that I think I drank more that day than I have in a LONG time (3 coolers, 2 shots of watermelon shnops, and 2 jello shots)!!! But I started and ended the day with water. Overall it was a great day...and there was a lot of money raised (more than last year) which was the point of the whole event. Maybe I'll do it again next year.
