The Fair

We have been busy lately. Every night after work I have had somewhere I need to go. Tonight I don't have anywhere I need to be, and I'm lovin' it. I am in sweats and it isn't even 7 o'clock. So sue me. Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days:

We had dinner with Craig's HS friends and their wives. They're funny when they all get together.
The wives.

Last night we went to the Utah State Fair. It was both wonderful and terrible for a few different reasons. Wonderful: A plethora of delicious/fattening foods. Fun environment. The rain only lasted a little while. The company. White trash goods for sale everywhere you turn. Cool photography. Interesting animals (never knew a goat's udder could get that big. I also got an anatomy lesson from the sheep. Sick.)

We bought fried frog legs and they were a lot better than I thought they would be. Basically tastes like chicken. Now I know why Survivor Man and Bear Gryllis eat them. I wanted to try alligator on a stick too, but fair food is expensive!

Craig doing the same. I looked g-ross so I cropped myself out!

Terrible: We were about to leave when we saw this tent that was advertising the "World's Smallest Woman". The advertisement kept saying "come and hold her like a baby, blahblahblah." We decided that someone had to go in. I decided that person would be me. Call me a fool, but I didn't think it would be a real person, kind of like the time that we stopped at "South of the Border" (between North and South Carolina) because they were advertising that they had a Great White Shark and it was just a plastic shark hanging from the ceiling. A hoax. Anyway, I walk in and there is a real woman sitting in this tiny thing looking SO SAD. I didn't know what to do so I said "hi" and kept walking. And then I felt like trash for paying to look at her and I wanted to cry! Ugh.

Speaking of the "South of the Border" Truck Stop, I found this picture of one of their billboards and it makes me laugh. Billboards like this line the highway for like 100 miles and they stand approximately 10 feet apart from each other. I'll have to take Craig someday.

In other news, today was my first day with kids at work. I can already tell that manners are going to need a lot of work. Nobody peed their pants. I hope it's a long time before someone does. My headaches are all of a sudden back with a vengeance. Kill me. Craig just started Orem Ultimate frisbee. He's good. People who play frisbee (generally, and with the exclusion of my husband) are fanatics about it. I think it's weird when grown men with like 3 kids are still all about it. I also think it's crazy how one of the wives stands on the sidelines and films the entire game so that it can be posted on Youtube. I can't believe anyone would watch that. Maybe nobody does. Maybe I'm a bad wife because I don't want to film an entire frisbee game. Maybe Craig just loves me too much to ask me to do something so horrendous. Tomorrow his intramural flag football games begin. We're bringing treats. Not good treats like hi-C and a Kudos bar--watermelon because it is huge and I have no idea what else I would do with it. I am becoming a soccer mom and I don't even have kids. Just found out the season premiere of The Biggest Loser is on. Watched it for 5 minutes and tears are already rolling out of control.

The end.
