What's new this week?
-Tejas. I drove to Texas, alone
-Barn dance (non-dance) and hungout with people I barely knew ... also rode in the backseat of my own car.
-Was a judge at the men's bake off at church. Yes, this means I got to try all of the cakes and cookies... yes I did!
-Worked out twice in one day
-Went to a local park to do homework
How is this new?
- Texas is a new place for me. I had not entered the state of Texas, ever until Friday. I also ate at a Whataburger. It was good!
- I had never danced in a barn before, and technically still haven't. But, I went to a "barn dance" and had to leave before the dancing started. There were mechanical bull rides, horse back riding, carriage rides, and BBQ. Later was barn dancing but our group headed out before that started. That is ok! We ended up going to a mini-fire with s'mores. So yumtastic! It was at someone's house I didn't know and I ended up having a great time. (I was skeptical and didn't want to go because I didn't know half the people that were going to be there... I am so glad I went). On the way out to hang out and eat s'mores I made my friend drive my car. So for the first time I rode in the back seat of my own car. It makes me feel more like a girl to not have to drive all the time. That may be silly, but it is true.
-As a fundraiser for the youth group, our church does an annual men's bake off. This year I was asked to be a judge. As you know, from other posts, I like food. So this made me ecstatic. Plus all the cakes were
-I go to zumba 2-4 times a week. Well this time I went to 2 different zumba classes in one day 1 hour apart from one another. So I finished one and ate dinner and then went to the next zumba class. I thought I was going to vomit ... so yeah, food and working out too close together is a bad idea.
-Usually when I do homework I go to a local bookstore of coffee shop. Today was soooo nice that I just had to get out and do something. So I did. As I was sitting there reading for British Novel a couple walked by and the girl said to her boyfriend or man or whoever he was, "I want to come out here and read. That looks so chill." I started laughing when she said that. It was really relaxing and nice.
Why this?
- Hello, it's Texas! I have always wanted to go to Texas and have never had a chance to go, so on Friday I got in my car after work and drove to Texarkana. (Pictures below)
- Why not?! Really, I love dancing and any opportunity to do so is one I will jump on quickly. But we didn't dance there, we actually ended up doing random dances at our s'mores host house. That was way more fun and way less dirty than a barn.
- I got to eat cake, nothing more needs to be said.
- Honestly, I was desperate for a "new thing" ... also, did you see the one right above this? I ate a lot of cake.
- It was friggin awesome outside.
Is this something that will be continued?
- Random road trips and mental vacations are phenomenal.
- Yes, I will continue meeting new people and going to dance things. Most of my friends know how overly social I am and they also know I really reeeaallly like dancing.
- Well, I probably will not get to judge it too often. I would do it again.
- Working out, yes. Working out twice in one day, not unless I have to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
- YES!!
Are there any negatives to this?
- Yes. Traveling alone can be dangerous if you are not careful. Also, thinking too much can be dangerous to your mental/emotional health. Luckily the drive there was great because all I did was listen to music and was able to just not think for 4 hours. It was fantastic. The trip back is a bit different. I started thinking a little too much and ended up praying the rest of the way back about pretty much anything that came to mind. It was good and God gave me a sweet opportunity to just go. Love it!
- Cow pies... well horse pies because there were no cows. As long as you didn't step in those you were fine.
- Diabetes, I think this was developed this on Sunday.
- Death, which is what I felt like.
- Can't think of many. Well unless I get stung by bugs. Other than that all good.
Things I learned from my trip to Texas...
You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a bathroom based on the outer appearance of the establishment.
Sign: "Underage drinking and driving; zero tolerance!" - Who knew if you are of age drinking and driving is tolerated?!
