Internet.
I was going to blog something and I had it all planned out last night.
Then I slept and I forgot it.
In summary, yesterday we drove from Texas to the magical land of Iowa. Joey was Thinking Ahead and he drove around Dallas on Wednesday and picked up the first three Harry Potter books on Audiobook, so we listed to the Socerer’s Stone all the way up and time went by in a flash.
OH YEAH, and how could I forget, we stopped at the cattle pens in Kansas!!!! My 3 1/2 year goal was completed. Somethings I learned about the cattle pens on our visit:
- They look much more interesting from the road
- They smell better from the road, too
- Cows do go there, I could see fresh poos (could smell them too)
- Cows are just never there when we are
- I liked the cattle pens about 75% more than Joey did
At one point I went running across the prairie because I saw a blue flower and totally left Joey in my dust. He just stood back by the fence and watched me, I’m sure he was thinking I had lost my ever loving mind. But the blue flower was pretty so I picked it and brought it back to show him. He tried to act impressed, which made me feel good.
We stayed long enough for me to ascertain there was no cows, run around on the prairie, and walk around in the pens for awhile (Joey refused to go in there) and then I decided that was enough for me. So we packed it up and left.
I told Joey thank you about five times for indulging me and stopping.
Then it was back to Harry Potter, and I cried through the end of the book. I can never handle it when Professor McGonagall gives Neville 10 points for being willing to stand up to his friends.
Sobsobsobsob.
