Go Grab A Bucket Of Water

I drove out home bright and early Saturday morning, not only to pick up Charley and get my winter tires put on my car, but to also have a relaxing night into our cabin.

Before I go any further with this post, I feel like it's now my duty to inform you all of a very important lesson when getting your tires switched on your vehicle.  Okay, so when you pick up your vehicle from the service department, make sure you actually check that the tires that were taken off and placed in your trunk or backseat are, in fact, your own tires (even if they wrap them in fancy bags).  My car wasn't dropped off for even ten minutes on Saturday morning before I received a phone call saying that the winter tires I had given them were the wrong ones.  My initial reaction-- that's not possible.  Well trust me folks, it is possible if the last spot that switched them for you gave you someone else's tires.  I guess I'll be now adding winter tires to my Christmas wish list this year. Le sigh.

So now even if you only skim through the remainder of this post, at least you can say you learned something here today.  I took one for the team!  And if someone else would like to take another one for the team and figure out a way to get me new tires, that would be great too.

Okay, so as much as I love spending time into our cabin, with each visit I quickly realize that our cabin (at this stage) may not be for everyone.  I'll let you decide, though.

Our cabin is definitely the place for you if:

- Your idea of the perfect day/ night involves grabbing a blanket and snuggling up in front of the wood stove all.day.long.

-The only thought you want going through your mind is when you need to put gas in the generator again.

- You want to use the excuse of no running water as to why you can't wash your hair.

- You love it when your breakfast consists of homemade bread and moose sausages.

- You enjoy watching your dog run freely through the woods as if they just escaped from a life sentence in prison.

- You love being isolated from anyone and everything, including your partner in crime/ your best friend; your cell phone. 

Our cabin is definitely not the place for you if:

- You actually can't imagine spending time without your partner in crime/ your best friend; your cell phone.

- You don't want to drink a minimum of five red bull and five cups of coffee just so you can overcome all of the coziness and actually keep your eyes open for more than a minute. 

- You hate being trapped in the woods with nothing but your significant other.

- You don't want to do a 5 meter sprint just before the generator goes off so you can avoid walking like a zombie in the dark while trying to find your bed.

- You don't like seeing Frankenstein starting back at you in the morning.

- You never want to hear the statement, "go grab a bucket of water to flush the toilet". 

As you can see, our cabin was definitely the best place for me this weekend!

How was your weekend?

Did anyone ask you to grab a bucket of water to flush the toilet?
