I think you'll like it.....I hope
That's what he said to me the other day.
I'm flying to Perth on Monday. The boy's been keeping it a secret about where he's taking me for the week. I said I don't mind, as long as we stay somewhere that has a spa bath at least one night. Apparently, that's been arranged. The rest of the time? "Um...babe....it's not gonna be all that flash." That's ok. I can be Rugged Chick for a week.
He's been worried, because the people he told where we were going were apprehensive about whether I'd be into it or not. Granted, they don't know me, but if I was the type to worry about chipped fingernails or perfect makeup, I would agree with them. Eventually, he decided the best option was to tell me where we were going. Basically, it's the middle of nowhere.
He's taking me to Coolgardie Cemetary (wish I could find a good link), which is supposed to be great - if you like cemetaries - and I do, and Lake Ballard, which is a salt lake and, in my humble opinion, looks like it'll be amazing, with sculptures of people scattered through it.
The other alterior motive for doing this trip is so he can show me the places he works. One, so I can get more comfortable with where he is and what he does when he's away, but also coz I know he's going to get all excited, proud dad style, telling me he found this piece of rock here, or that piece of sandalwood on that tree there. It's cool that he loves what he does, so I'm excited for him, in a weird way, that he'll be able to show me all these things.
I was out shopping today for a pair of boots sorta like these and there was not one pair of walking/hiking boots in the entire centre. Being that I find shopping the evil of all evils, I wasn't pleased, but decided to see if I could find a couple of tops to wear while we're out in the middle of nowhere, looking at salt lakes, dead people, rocks and sticks. I walked into a store and found this, thought it was completely appropriate, and had to buy it. Just the fact that it amused me - and it was the first top I saw - made it worth the $10.
