First off- it was 104 degrees. At least I knew going into this we'd be shooting inside. Since it was so hot I wanted to wear my new Gypsy dress and flip flops. I thought it was nice, light and airy and it would be perfect for the 104 sun. Patrick thought I was crazy for wearing such an outfit to the shooting range but hey, what does he know? We dropped Will off at my parents so at least one member in our family would still have their hearing after this event.
We got the range ran inside into the nice air conditioning and proceeded to get our sexy eye wear and ear protection. Then we proceeded into the actual shooting and target area with our designer clear sunglasses and jumbo earmuffs.. (lol "earmuffs!" what movie?) So when I thought I was going to be chillin' in the cool AC- boy was I wrong, it was 96 inside there! Yes, I repeat it was INSIDE! My thighs were sweating.. in my nice, cool, airy dress and Nike running shoes that I had to borrow from my friend. They forgot to tell us we couldn't wear open toe shoes. Isn't that a cute fashion statement image in your head right now? Now I understand when your armpits sweat and maybe sometimes your chest when you work out but your thighs? You know you are overheating when your thighs are sweating.
Long story short (is that possible at this point) I shot one bullet. Yep, you read right- 1, one, uno bullet. The guns just freaked me out. I was scared knowing there were other amateurs with loaded guns in the same room as me. To top it off a flying shell landed on my chest and burnt me! After that I couldn't take my eyes off those flying things. So I decided that I had had enough of that 96 degree, bullet filled, shell flying sauna and patiently waited in the lobby with my best friend of the day- the AC.
My one bullet shot wasn't caught on camera but here are some pictures of the non-pansy professionals of the day.
ETA: good thing there wasn't a pic taken of me today- thanks for recognizing how awful that pic would have been Mandi!

Earmuff! - Old School, love it! I like P's hat...and I wish there was a pic of you in the dress and shoes along with the earmuffs and "designer shades" lol
You go girl. I couldn't do it. Heat + guns? Count me out!
You're way better than I am. I can just imagine you in your cute dress with those shoes, earmuffs and amazing shades.
omg you wore your dress shooting! LOL
P looks so happy!
This is the funniest story I have heard in awhile! I wish there was a picture of you in your dress and nikes!
When I read you wore your gypsy dress, I have to admit I sided with Patrick; my first thought was, "She has NO idea!" The sneakers were just the icing on the cake, though.
I'm with Jen--I wish we had phographic documentation of the ensemble!
