Long Time No Post - or Something Similar

Ah, the moments we have to simply take a breath and realize that the impatiens in the front yard survived your absence...

Just got home last night. Long long looooonnng trip. Not days, just the amount of the days we spent in the car. Yesterday we left to come home around noon and didn't get in until almost eleven.

We took a trip to the northern part of the state to see the hubby's parents. We ate at Babe's, located at Cherry and 4th in downtown Sanger, where there is a funny little yard sign proclaiming Discount Goods and Crisis Center. I wish I was kidding.

On Saturday we left Texas to go to Oklahoma... my sister-in-law was graduating from OU with her Masters. Of course, as soon as we were across the border, I had to break out into song. You know which one. Bryan didn't find it very amusing, I don't think.

40 miles out of our destination we saw an exit for Wayne and Payne. Wow. Apparently Wayne lives west of 45 and Payne lives east. Remind me not to turn east.

Every single billboard mentioned that their location was an "Easy on and off." I thought this was just a little weird until I realized when we got into Oklahoma City that one road could have 5 names within the span of 3 minutes. I kid you not. Then it would be a great seller to make sure that the gas station you're going to was an easy-on-easy-off of Broadway/77 S/44 E/235 S/ 35 W.

And apparently their construction signs are made by the same people that do fortune cookies. One said, "Expect No Delays."

Thanks, 'cause I was really worried about that. I'm so glad you had a sign up to let me know that there was no construction ahead. So I can just concentrate on what name the road I'm on is using now. I'm thinking Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P Diddy was a major contributor to the construction of these freeways.

And the van has been named.

Helen.

Is this the van that launched a thousand trips?

*snickers*

I think I'm just tired.

So I'm going to post one or two pics that have been delayed in posting, since I just now found my media reader. These are from my last night out with Steph before she had to go back to AZ. I was too busy to take other pics while she was here, and now I'm regretting it.



OK, maybe not. They're on my MySpace anyway until I figure out what's up with Flickr. I'm going to go drink some coffee before I pass out during my lessons tonight.
