goat rodeo

yesterday. all my troubles seemed so far away. i don't know where to start. i thought we were going to have a good day yesterday. the sun was shining. it was warm enough to walk out in the garage without dressing like ralphy going to school. life was good. until i turned on our computer. toast. tried to reinstall. nope. nothing. nada. zilch. a swing and a miss. juuuust a bit outside. on to wal-marts for the weekly freak show. i did discover a new weekly blog topic yesterday so it wasn't all bad at wal-marts. or so i thought. then i get home and my husband decides to go and get a paper to see what kind of computers are on sale this week. because it is my only link to the outside world. and i was not going to be without one. not. for. another. minute. mind you, we are not that close to a store. of any kind. in any direction. he comes back in about fifteen minutes all huffy because he forgot his wallet. so, back to the store. except he didn't go to the orginal store. he went to a party store that was supposedly closer. when he walked in they didn't have any papers. he asked. the helpful lady without a tooth in her head and undoubtedly sporting a mullet says they are out in the bin. in the parking lot. say it together now. all you gotta do is loook. my husband stormed out only after asking if it came with a banjo. i guess we won't be going back to that store. returning to the original store where he forgot his wallet it at he was able to buy a paper. without quarters. meanwhile, i discover that the strawberries i paid for at wal-marts are not in my possession. cue circus music. we did end the day on a positive note. my friend harper, from high school, was back in the area and we had a nice visit. yes, another long story. neither one of us are from here. we have only lived here. at separate times. will surely explain this story problem in a future post. then it was right back to normal. cue circus music. again.
