my day {in case you were wondering}

If you were wondering what I did today,

I will tell you.

Here's what I did:

I got up at a ridiculous hour.

I think it was around 3:18 AM.

I ate breakfast (because I MUST eat breakfast),

showered (because I MUST shower),

then headed south to Connie's house.

(Because I MUST go see Connie periodically).

I am not much of a traveler.

Even though I've been to China numerous times,

and other various places,

I have never driven (by myself)

longer than 2.5 hours.

But because my dear and wonderful friend

Connie invited Eli to come spend

a couples weeks with them,

I decided to man-up and drive, drive, DRIVE.

So today was my day to go pick him up.

And the day started Er-lay.

And because I have an uncanny way of amusing

myself,

I took a few pics on my way down.

By myself.

Here we go:

A lovely Kansas sunrise.

I tried to get a better angle...but I opted for

staying on the road, and not DYING, instead.

But, it's lovely, no less.

Yes?

Then I admired greatly, 

the Flint Hills.

Alright so, the picture may seem boring.

And in many ways, it is.

But trust me, the Flint Hills are so lovely!!!!

They're so...

flinty...and hilly.

Then:

I spent exactly 1 hour & 13 minutes visiting with my 

dear friend Connie,

to whom I owe millions of dollars.

And a chili recipe.

But then I had to leave abruptly because

I needed to get back home,

lest I turn into a pumpkin.

And on my way back home,

Nick's car

(which I drove today, because it gets WAY 

better mileage than my big ol' Burban),

(which we have had since he was in KINDERGARTEN),

turned 200,000 miles.

I pulled over and had a moment of silence.

Not really.

I am a get-home-in-record time Nazi.

I would never pull over unnecessarily.

Never.

Never, ever.

But here's a pic of the odometer.

Because, that's just fun.

Then later, to pass the time,

I started having car troubles.

Nick's little car started sputtering.

I called K-Man and he calmly told me,

"Just keep driving."

Well, that was very comforting.

He is not nearly the alarmist that I am.

And that alarms me.

But I trusted his leadership

(that's just the kind of Proverbs 31 

wife that I am),

and I kept driving.

I will skip to the end and tell you that I did, in fact,

make it home,

without incident.

That K-Man is one smart fella.

But I must tell you that I saw THE most wonderful

billboard sign that

advertised CREMATION for $895.

I could only imagine Midge telling Hank,

as they're driving down I-35 in their RV,

"Quick, right that number down!  I may need that!"

That was my day.

The End.
