Gosh, where do I begin?

I'm just knocking things off this list left and right!

So let me start with the most fun. A few weeks ago I toured rural America with my friend Vinnie. I think I pointed out every single cow to him, but lluckily, he's a New Yorker too and there is some hope that a cow is still a novelty to him as well.

Anyway, we drove around trying to find the most shady place ever to eat. When we found Rudy's bait shop, welding, and food... we thought twice of that idea, and decided to go for more of a dive bar.


We finally found one, and believe it or not, but in addition to having great hot wings and burgers, they had Asian cuisine on their menu. Wow.

I managed to find a Hoffmaster road picture on that journey -- but no Hoffman. Close, no cigar.

On that trip, we did a hike, and just finished up the Billy Goat Trail this past weekend. Half-bouldering and some free climbing always makes for a great day, and I was shocked that I wasn't sore afterwards.

I attempted to try new cupcakes, but found myself ordering the peanut butter core again. Darn it! I did manage to get a third cupcake even still -- the Red Velvet one.

I went to all three concerts in a week -- so unlike me. I went to Hippie Fest, where I got to see the Turtles and Bad Finger (and many others), Great Big Sea, and the Black Crowes. I also managed to go to an additional concert, and saw Blink 182 (and made shrinky dinks too!)

I also went to Williamsburg and stopped at Busch Gardens, which was fortunate because they are closing my favorite ride after this season! Yes, that's right. After this year, The Big Bad Wolf will be no more. I almost started crying in the theme park, which was a bit ridiculous of me. I just have so many memories with that, especially with my dad--him poofing my hair up to help me hit the height requirement, us howling at the top, so I didn't want it to close one bit!

I finished my evil wardrobe, and am a lot more organized now. Just one step closer to making my apartment "liveable" (though the maid service I got for today should help just in time for my parents' visit here)

I have the kidney foundation walk in a few weeks, and am excited about it. Update y'all later!
