Luckily Rick Looks Good In Orange...

 When I found out I was moving to the mountains I was prepared for the following question "So do you ski or snowboard?"  I was equally prepared for the assumption people made that I participated in either activity even though I don't.  What threw me off was the presumption that both Rick and I were experienced hunters.  Here are two examples:

1. Acupuncture

(We were discussing nutrition and what sort of diet I should have right now.  Our conversation turned to meat.)

Me: So my husband and I have been wondering where we should buy our meat.  In Denver we went to Whole Foods.  Do you have any suggestions?

Dr: (Without batting an eye) Does your husband have his hunting license?

Me: No.

Dr:Your best bet is to have your husband go get a hunting license.  They aren't expensive at all  and he can go shoot his own deer.  You'll have deer for the whole season you can put in your freezer and defrost when you need it.

Me:  Uh huh, right.  So is there another option??

Now whenever I need a good laugh I imagine Rick in camouflage hunting down a kill.  BAH!  It's more likely he would bring Bambi home to shack up with us.  The cats would love it!

Later that Day... 

2. Eye Doctor

Dr: So, your eyesight is worse in your left eye.  Are you left handed?

Me: No, I'm right handed.  Why is that weird?

Dr: Well, when you look down the sight of a rifle which eye do you use?

Me: Ummmmmmm. (Long pause.)  I use my right eye when I look through a camera lens.  Is that the same thing??

Today my Grandma called and told me I better become a Pioneer Woman.  I don't know what that involves, but I think she's right.
