Happy Monday!

It feels amazing outside so even though I’m super excited and happy about that it brings me down some to know I have to spend the majority of the day inside at work. To recap the weekend, on Friday Amanda and I planned on going to the State Fair; and we got there… eventually. At first, we decided to go to McDonalds (even though we hate there food) b/c we though the tray liners were for $4 tickets, not $4 off the ticket. So then we decided that b/c we were probably going to go several times, at least 3, we might as well get seasons passes b/c they are only $30 total and you get a free Movie Pass. J So we went to Kroger to get that… then we headed towards 635. When we got there it was a total standstill for as far as the eye could see in both directions. So we figured we’d go a little further then take a larger “city street” over to 75. Well when we turned on the city street, it was super congested too. Mind you this is noon on a Friday so a little lunch traffic is to be expected but not bumper to bumper traffic on the highway AND city streets. So we putt, putted along and ended up in the right hand lane behind a Semi. Apparently this Semi was a little too tall and clipped a low hanging branch that fell in front of/on my car hood. It didn’t break entirely from the tree so that was our only saving grace b/c it just dangled didn’t free fall from 12 feet up. Well the Semi just trucked on and no one, not even one person pretended to care or offer to help just huffed and puffed like it was our fault that we were road blocked. Eventually after not being able to move the branch we had to back up and go around and another Semi in the middle lane allowed us through. We decided that if one more thing went wrong we were going to turn around and go home but fortunately it did not. We got to the fair in one peace and had a pretty good time... except for the food. The mandatory corn dog that Amanda and I shared was kind of weird. Maybe first day issues, but I probably won’t get another one b/c I’m not that big on them anyway. My favorite dip sample station made me choke… so we went to get drink but it was flat and disgusting. We couldn’t even finish it. Then we figured we’d try at least one of the new fried things and I got the fried Margarita… it’s like fried funnel cake batter they supposedly mixed margarita mix into placed in a cup, drowned in actual margarita liquid and topped with whipped cream. The fried portion was weird b/c they were getting soggy sitting in the drink and whipped cream and margarita is just an odd combination but once all that was out of the cup the actual drink was good. Then we headed home to nap before going to Matt and Baileys for back porch sitting/drinking times. It was super fun but we stayed out a little late since we had a 5k the next morning. That will be a post in and of it’s self. Flash forward to Sunday and all that really happened was breakfast with sister, a little bit of church (that I went to alllll by mysellllllllf), shopping and lunch with mom and then a little more shopping with Amanda.

How was your weekend?
