Things not involving drama, mostly
Aug. 16th, 2010 07:45 pmThe weekend was aaaaaaaaaawesome. Basically nothing went according to plan except that a) we made it to Indiana and b) we made it home again, but it was still way fun.
bug_mama and I made it out on time, but underestimated the amount of time to get to
raven34's house... and we took a side trip to the really adorable town of Metamora, where we bought fudge and saw some beautiful work horses. The weekend was lots of talking, and driving, and general hanging out; 3 girls can talk up a storm, let me tell you :) We all got a good night's sleep,
raven34's wonderfully sweet mom picked us up breakfast, and we all dished about boys. Also
raven34 picked us up Amish country stuff - cheese, buckeyes, and mini-raspberry dark chocolate tastiness. We ate chocolate for elevenses (though we missed second breakfast).
The drive home was mostly uneventful - we took a picture of 8-bit farm art (there were a few silos that had tiles arranged to make pictures - a tractor on one, some animals on another - the tiles made it look like the old 8-bit video game graphics), and stopped at the Grissom Air Museum. It was so cute, and you could actually climb in an old Huey. Definitely want to make another trek up there and have a chance to spend more time gazing at the giant planes :)
Home sweet home was nice - later than anticipated, but that was ok. The drive and all the company and all the girly talking was so, so nice. Hella pleasant break.
Back to the grind now, work and homework and all that nonsense. But I feel pretty good and refreshed after all that girl-time, and a little more even-keeled. Sometimes all it takes is a weekend away :)
