Down On The Farm

So I am back from Birthday Weekend v2.0. It was a really good time! While I'm a city girl through and through, there is something comforting about going to the farm. See, Matt's parents live in the country. I don't mean "just outside the city limits." I mean, in the country, on 700 acres. With no gas station, no Wal Mart, no nothing. They live in a huge house that they built about two years ago. This place would be my dream house if it was in the city. Anyway, Matt's parents cook like Paula Freaking Dean. I'm talking racks upon racks of ribs, hand cut steaks, potatoes, vegetables, salad, dessert...the whole shebang! I'm pretty sure I ate enough food to feed a small family this weekend. It was delicious. Fresh lemonade, strawberry shortcake, german chocolate cake, huge breakfast spreads each morning. Oy vey! Other than eating, we went to Silver Dollar City and I rode this beast. Obviously I'm no coaster pro, but this thing scared the crap out of me. When we first took off, my heart literally stopped beating. By the time we went down the first hill, I couldn't breath. By the time my heart started beating again, the only thing that came out of my mouth was "OH JESUS!" "DON'T LET ME DIE" "OOOOOHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I might add, I was riding with a 12 year old who was LAUGHING at me! LAUGHING. Well, needless to say, I made it! Never again though. Anyway, the day at the SDC was good. On Sunday, we went shopping in Branson at the new Landing and then we hit the outlet malls. Good times. We didn't get home until around 12:30am though. Long weekend. Good, but long.


As I drug my ass into work this morning, I found myself feeling grumpy. Surprise, surprise. As I walked down the hall to my office, I was looking down. Partly because I was half asleep and partly because I had no desire to be at work this morning. Anyway, I noticed this lady in front of me who had on an ankle bracelet under her pantyhose. WTF over? Is it just me, or is that a big fashion faux pas? Of course, this woman has huge 80's hair and wears skirt suits in primary colors from the 80's. Sooo, maybe it's just that she's stuck in the 80's. I don't know.


This post wouldn't be complete unless I talked about how busy I am, so here I go! I am so busy this week. I have a paper to write about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, another paper to write about the Wizard of Oz, a clever baby gift to buy for a very special little girl, and a list of other things to do that I don't even want to get into. As always, I'll get through it.


Hope you all had a good weekend.
