so a lot has been going on since my previous post. i ended up going to west texas for the weekend, marking my 3rd friday in a row of skipping classes. i would seek to make it a month of classless fridays, but alas, i have 2 tests this friday, so i suppose i will attend. my brother & his fiancee had a couple wedding showers on saturday, that i went to, and so that was yay fun, and i did some bridesmaid duties, because, i am, of course, a good bridesmaid like that. friday & saturday i got to see some good friends from midland, which rocked. gotta love that place. and, wow, the aggies kicked osu in an amazing game. the only thing that made that game more amazing was that i was eating ROSAS during the middle of it (whoop!) and that i was watching it with some people that are perhaps my favorite people in the world.

on the way home from midland, we had a little blow out near big spring, about 30 miles into our trip. it being a sunday afternoon, of course most places were closed. thankfully the walmart was open, but of course there was a 2 hr wait, naturally. we ended up buying a tire there, and taking it down to a truck place to be put on, and hopefully saved some time in there somewhere. we ended up getting back late. perhaps it was these circumstances though, that led us to develop an exciting fun new hobby. ladies & gentlemen, let me introduce you to texas roadside assistance, if you are not familiar. the number is on the back of your drivers license, and oh is it fun. we saw a poor man (or a rich man, i'm not sure) walking along the road, we think his car had broken down. we didnt stop, because it was dark, and that would be dangerous. besides, we had no physical room in the car for him. BUT we did our civil duty, and called texas roadside assistance, who sent a state trooper to go see if this man needed some help. and we felt very good about ourselves. bree then spent the rest of the trip looking for more things to call in. yes, a truly exciting hobby if you are ever driving on the road and are bored. i believe the number is 1-800-525-5555.

lets see. i heard a lot of funny quotes this weekend. but i didnt write most of them down, sadly. however, i have some from some classes and a few from this weekend, that i will share. i hope that you enjoy them and have a great evening. and GO ASTROS, that game last nite was incredible. and i got a new cell phone. finally. yay for me. i am no longer self conscious about my cell phone that takes two hands to hold up to my ear. just kidding. but do yall remember those things? most of you know that i'm also a little self conscious about my major. well, on monday i decided to indulge in a chic-fil-a sandwich rather than my usual brownbag lunch (and yes, i do indeed pack my lunch in a brown bag, naturally) and as i was walking through that building on west campus where the lunch place is located, i happened to notice a girl reading a book entitled 'pictoral anatomy of cats'. and suddenly i didnt feel so badly about my major after all.
