Sunday Snippets

**First and foremost, my cell phone has been revived...rescued...restored...resurrected. Whichever R word you use, it's really rad. It was a long three days without her.

**I was surprised at the amount of people that were sad I didn't include the bloody gore on my previous post. Y'all. My dad saw the picture and said "It looks like a crime scene without the yellow tape."

**Friday we visited the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. First stop--First Aid. I am apparently not that great at dressing a wound. My bandage didn't last the entire length of the parking lot. Sweet. Of course, the First Aid people at the rodeo aren't actually nurses. They're volunteers. This cowboy took one look at my foot and said, "Gee. You think you could do this yerself?"

**And, yes, I'm aware I'm wearing open toed shoes at the nastiest place on earth with a wound on my foot. But, I couldn't get a shoe on my foot, and I have never owned a pair of Crocs in my life.

**This is what a future Future Farmer of America might look like...

...and this is probably not a future Future Farmer.

**I sort of wanted to go on this mammoth slide with two of my favorite people. But I had been hobbling around all day, and thought it might be a bad idea to go up a thousand steps on a bruised, stitched up foot, then slide toe first at high speeds. What do you think?

**My other three favorite people were all smiles on the carousel.

**I sort of feel sorry for the Astrodome. This poor thing was once deemed the 8th Wonder of the World. And now look at it. It's just a huge block of cement, taking up lots of space. Too expensive to use. Too expensive to demolish. So there it sits. I sort of feel sorry for myself too, though. My poor crippled self had to walk around this thing to get from one side of Reliant to the other. Yeah..no such thing as shortest distance between two points is a straight line here.
**Here we are inside the stomach of a Dizzy Dragon carnival ride. All six of us fit in one stomach.
**Here is the face of someone who is IN CHARGE and SHE KNOWS IT.

**Here is the face of someone who faced a fear (an obstacle course) and CONQUERED it.
**The apples of my eye drinking apple juice at the carnival.
