The fair

Oh for heaven's sakes. I've written this thing four times and keep hitting something and it all goes away. Let me try this one more time! SOO we went to the fair last tuesday. It was a lot of fun, but really packed. It was hard getting through the crowd at most points but we still got to see most of what we wanted to see. I saw the prize winning pumpkins which always fascinates me. The biggest one was nearly five hundred pounds. I also got to try funnel cake. Tasted very much like a dough boy to me, except they didn't put the melted butter on top like they do the doughboys and I missed that. I did pour on the confectioners sugar and cinnamon though, and I did enjoy it. I also got a steak sandwich, french fries and 3 caramel apples to bring home. I didn't get any fried veggies, by the time we finally found a booth we get up to order and this bitchy looking lady says 'it's gonna be half an hour' well poo on her. On our way to find another one we saw the steak sandwich place and I got so full from that I didn't bother looking for another fried veggie place. We also saw some cow judging and some of those big draft horses all geared up in fancy harnesses and stuff, those are wicked pretty animals.

 

Yesterday we went to a birthday party, one of Sam's friends kids. I got to play XBox most of the evening with a bunch of the kids so that was a lot of fun. Since we had to go to that last night, we didn't have our 'day of rest' yesterday, but we did that on Saturday cause we knew we wouldn't get one if we didn't. We watched spooky movies all day. I've been waiting all summer to break out my horror movie DVD collection this month, since it is October. But darnitt! there's so many good movies on TV we haven't watched one DVD. Maybe November will have to be horror movie DVD month!

 

James I looked at the cat food bag and had a long talk with kitty. I don't mind that she's modeling but if she's making money she's gonna have to help with the house expenses, but she said she already spent it on cat nip, I'm putting in a call to the Betty Ford clinic and hopefully they can help her out! Seriously though that cat does look a lot like mine. Same posing position and everything! Thanks for showing it to me. For those that have no idea what I'm talking about see my blog entry 'oh me too' and scroll down through to the last comment!

 

In writing news, I have none. I have'nt wrote a thing in weeks. Don't worry though Unbreakable Faith is all done has been for two years, so we don't have to worry about me not finishing that! I believe it's about fifteen chapters. I know it's a really hard story to read and I really appreciate all of those who are sticking with it. I'm hoping the rest of the story will make up for what you've had to put up with so far in it. I have another story about 1/4 written but haven't been back to it in a while. I'm hoping to have it done by the time Unbreakable Faith is done posting, but if I plan on that I gotta get busy on it!

 

Well I guess that's all the news I have. I hope everyone has a great week! I'm not dreading today too bad even though it's Monday because we are having a 'pig out' day at work, where everyone brings in food and we eat, and yes Maya I LOVE food so that's enough to make me look forward to today! I'm taking baked potatoes, with a tray full of topping, like sour cream, shredded cheese, cheese whiz, scallions, butter, and broccolli. So people can load them up with whatever they want. Should be Yummy!

 

Okay well I got sidetracked, hehe. I'm really going this time. Have a great day everyone.

I just wanted to say that reading about your day at the fair made me want to go one. I live in England and the only fair I know of is Goose Fair and that's in my home town of Nottingham, a long way from where I live now. And the last timeIi went it was so packed you could hardly move. The speciality of Goose Fair is cheap nasty toys, toffee apples and brandy snaps.

 

And I wanna see a five hundred pound pumpkin, you are sooo lucky.

 

Although my hubby and I did get to resuce a Gannet (frightenly big sea bird, with a sharp beak that likes to try and peck people who are helping it) yesterday, but I don't know what that has to do with anything.

 

Anyway, thank you for your wonderful description of a day at the fair. It really did make me smile. Especially the bit about 'well poo on her' you charmer you.

 

I'm going now, becasue I'm even more shy than you and I'm on the verge of deleting what I've written, which is what usually happens to my posts.

 

Linz.
