Yesterday was our day off. Five of us girls went into Woodland Park, the nearest town town, and went shopping. At Walmart.
One of the girls, *Rachel, wanted to listen to Backstreet Boys and Disney songs the whole way. That was very quickly shot down by the other four us. One song maybe, but 45 minutes of it? No thanks. Unfortunately she was sitting shotgun meaning she was controlling the iPod and we had to keep grabbing it from her and changing it. Needless to say by the time we arrived at Walmart my fuse with her was very short.
Walmart is dangerous. I've never really spent a lot of time at Walmart until being out here so I didn't realize that you go in with only three things on your list and come out two hours later having spent three times as mush as you planned.
*Anna and I spent most of the time searching for Batman and Transformers stuff to make a birthday present for her friend. and *Rachel followed us around the whole time chattering away about who knows what. But all you people who know me know that when I'm on a short fuse with someone they should steer clear of me. *Rachel did not understand this. At one point I stood and compared metal closet hangers vs wooden closet hangers just so she'd walk away and I could disappear into the aisles of Walmart. When I met up with her thirty minutes later she started singing Disney songs and I snapped. Let just say it wasn't good. It was bad. She avoided the rest of the day and I have yet to see her today. So we'll see...
I calmed down by getting a pedicure. We all did. In Walmart. It was pretty sweet. My polish is called "Have You Seen My Limo?"
We went to dinner at this Mexican restaurant. (*Rachel sat at the far end of the table from me.) and we pretended it was *Anna's birthday so we got free dessert and she got whip cream in her face. It was pretty sweet.
On the way home we stopped halfway down the dirt road to the ranch, climbed out, and just stood in the complete silence staring at the stars. More white stars then black sky.
I've introduced the card game Up and Down the River to the folks game the other night. I've already played 7+ games since Thursday night.
