5/29/13

Well this week (Tues-Tues) Dahm's shift is from noon to midnight. Don't really get to see him at all since I leave work (SO MUCH STUPID STUFF AT WORK RIGHT NOW, DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO INTO IT BECAUSE IT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!) at 8 and get home at 3... I hit my head feeding Cocoa yesterday and it is still kinda giving me a headache..

This is what I saw when I came home.

LOL his and hers toaster oven... LOL
Well I have been a little frazzled today because Jen came back and was crazy.
So I went home and pretty much crashed after I took out the dogs (BTW Cocoa hasn't pooped in the house for like a week!!! Wahoo!). I woke up two hours later and my hair, which I put in a bun after my shower this morning, was starting to come out of the ponytail so I took it out.
I knew that I needed to brush it though, the ends were actually all tangly...
I knew it would be bad but I never expected a....
Bad Fromance!!!
Hhahahaha that won't get tiring anytime soon..

Well after I got situated and hair straightened I pretty much just played with Ricky and Cocoa and played one of the video games Dahm brought back here for me.
This is how it always ends when we play...

BUT YES.

Your amazing Hailey is a fantastic marks(wo)man :)


We went down to the airforce base to shoot trap and skeet -
Weeeeell there was a sexist guy in his 50's (still nice) and a older very nice guy who were there.
And when I said that I hadn't shot before, the sexist guy said he would get together some lower
caliber shotguns for me to fire to see "if I could handle" the bigger one.
I didn't say anything. But I wanted to smack him in the face just a little.
Well the older gentleman (who is a retired Navy SEAL) gave me a lesson 
on shooting and was really sweet.
This whole time Dahm and his stupid, idiot friend are shooting their first game of trap,
which I don't care that they were lol.
Well I worked my way up to a 12 gauge (which is the gauge of Dahm's shotgun)
and I was doing good, so my gentleman teacher said "You'll be ready to give those boys a run for their money now!" (He was so sweet.)
So I waited until Dahm and Lohnnes were finished with their game. Well another couple of really nice guys, a    man and his son-in-law, came to shoot trap, so the three of us played. 
Now, I didn't know this, so I am going to assume you don't either.
Trap has 5 stations to shoot, all in an arch around the launcher shed thingy.
You each go to a station and shoot 5 rounds at a pigeon but you don't know which direction it will go.
Each person shoots one round at a time, and one person sitting or something launches the pigeon when you yell pull.
I KICKED SERIOUS BUTT and got at LEAST as many as the two guys and MORE than Dahm and Lohnnes.
Skeet was harder for me, because my shoulders by this time were tired of holding up Dahm's heavy gun, and the day before we went surfing which is a LOT of arm work.
Skeet has seven positions in an arch, with a high launcher to the left, and a low launcher to the right. 
You shoot 4 in a row, 2 high 2 low alternating, on the end two on each side and 2 in a row, 1 high and 1 low, on the center positions.
I did meh on this one, but Lohnnes accidentally gave me a double (both launchers) and I didn't know, and I shot BOTH when they crossed. I felt dang cool.
Two other people clapped for me.
I was the only girl at the range.
There was a mom with her kid when we first got there, but I don't know if she shot at all.
When we finished our skeet game, my old gentleman came walking up and said,
"Where's our pretty girl??"
And i yelled "Here I am!!"
And he told me he was going to teach me how to beat those "ugly boys" at skeet.
LOL.
He showed me where to shoot and told me the 3 things I needed to do to hit it, and how far of a lead to put on each one.
My arms were killing me, and even though his gun was lighter, I had a hard time holding it up to my face.
I missed a bunch, but I hit the last one, which was most important.
He told me he would pick up the shells, and when we met up at the officey place, he told me now I could beat those boys and that they don't give lessons like that to "dumb, ugly boys."
HAHA. He was a hoot :) I was DANG good too. :)
Well it is waaaaay past my bedtime.

SLEEP. AT LAST. :)

  1. Oh man...I just wrote a huge comment and K9 erased it! :* Let's try again...LOL @ bad Fromance, hoor4ay for Cocoa having a poopy-accident-free week. Dad and I love the his-and-hers toaster. That is awesome. We loved the Hailey-shoots-trap-and-skeet-and-owns-it story. I knew nothing whatever about it and I'm amazed that you learned all that in just one session. You should definitely do it again, you have talent, we think you're a natural! And I love your older gentleman friend. Navy SEALs are beyond amazing, and how cool is it that he gave you private tutoring?! He sounds like a sweetheart, and I bet he could see right away that you had talent and that teaching you wouldn't be a waste of his time. And it's cute that he called you "our pretty girl." LOL @ no lessons for dumb, ugly boys. Dahm isn't the least bit dumb or ugly, so I'm assuming his friend was dragging him down in this guy's estimation! Dad is amazed you worked yourself up to a 12-guage right away. He says its the heaviest and hardest to shoot, and wonders if the sexist guy was actually trying to help. Anyway, we love your story, thanks for writing all that out! Especially when it was so late and you were so tired! Love you, Dad and Mom

  2. The sexist guy was trying to help, but he didn't think I could do it, which is why I called him sexist :)And yes, Dahm's friend is NOT a looker, and plus is stupid.
    And Dahm's gun is fun to shoot :) he said it is lighter than his friend's gun.
    All the people who saw Dahm's gun kept asking what it was and how much.
    It's also a spring assisted gun, so I had to pull that sucker back each time I reloaded. OUCH! haha :)
