Tejas Tidbits

So, here's a synopsis of our Texas trip written in such a way that you will appreciate it only if you were there. Ha! Sounds like fun, huh?

So, the first thing I remember is being so fascinated by a stoplight that I ran it. I learned that Love's falsely advertises having showers, but that not all people in Arkansas (The Natural State) are supportive of Hillary. I also learned that Becky will not heed warnings to stop making me laugh while I'm drinking/eating! Which came as a result of learning that peanut butter M&M's are pretty much awesome. Right before that I learned that I do not take news of reaching 1/2 way points very well at all. That was also around the time that we exited Arkansas into Texas only to re-enter into Arkansas just moments later without knowing how that was possible. Thankfully a very helpful gas station attendant helped us out by telling us she didn't know directions any better than she knew her butt from something (which I sadly can't remember what) and then told us to turn right and just keep going and that, "Yeah, I'm sure that will get you there." Um, that was NOT the way and thankfully we didn't take her advise. I discovered that Becky can't distinguish between the words "key" and "pee" very well at all and that Kleenex wet wipes, with all their tingly sensations, will keep you awake when driving long distances. Also that in Texas sometimes bug showers can get confused with rain showers and that some guy name Rog is part of what seemed like some family run gas station business. Ah, Rog. What a guy! But the greatest thing of all was the formation of the Feline Nub Association. (More to come on that later!) Alright, so maybe that wasn't the greatest thing of all, but it has provided countless hours of entertainment. And I'm sure I forgot a myriad of other things but those are what stick out in my mind right this moment. Still, THE greatest part....Just having Becky go along with me. In case y'all didn't know she's pretty much awesome. :)

It really was a quick trip that seemed like one loooong day even though it was 3.5 days. By the end I was 1/2 goofy, 1/2 irritable, and 1/2 completely out of it. I had a REALLY fun time though. I look forward to any and all of you coming down to visit sometime, also.

Oh...and Sarah...I am leaving for good next Saturday, the 28th. And as for the Texas pics that were taken, they were only of an empty model of my apartment so that I could remember what colors counters/walls/etc. are and how big closets, cabinets, etc. are. Which is probably my fault because I was very anti-photos.

I'm sure more will come soon!
