A few months ago, I put in for time off. My little sister is having a baby soon and so of course that means, "A BABY SHOWER". I decided that I would try and do this vacation according to MY terms. This meant the following:
1. see everyone I wanted or said, "I should" about.
2. no schedule or time limits - only 2 things had definates:
baby shower Thursday at 7:00 and dinner before that.
So, I left on Friday (when I got around to it). I think it was almost 5:00pm. I drove to Lovington. I had a short but very pleasant visit with my family there. I got to see Rod, Lisa, Court, Peggy, and Missy. It was perfectly timed. I visited for just over and hour and then they had somewhere to be and I needed to make it to Midland before the morning. So, we all left.
On the way out of Lovington before following Rodney's directions, I stopped at....Sonic - of course. After getting a 44oz vanilla Dr. Pepper I hit the highway. I took 2 drinks out of it just after hitting the highway. I remember thinking to myself - "Wow! This is really good!" I then picked it up for a 3rd drink and guess what! No kidding! The entire thing (minus maybe 4oz) splashed and then drown my car and myself! YUCK!!!!! It got everywhere (even in the stinkin' cd player). After wiping up what I could with a t-shirt I had in the back seat I continued my journey (without that really good tasting treat).
I followed Rod's directions and made it safely to Midland. I found 1 of my 2 favorite 4year olds waiting up to greet me!!!!! There is nothin' better than little kisses! After telling Joshua good night I spent some time with Joey. Don't be shocked! That happens when you are the only 2 in the house who stay up later than 10:00pm. Anyway, even after going to bed (about 3:00am) I got no sleep. I think I dozed for an hour before sunrise and maybe an hour after the sun rose.
That morning I went with Karen to suprisingly pick up Nicholas "Short" from a cub scout sleep over. He was so excited. It was fun looking around the petroleum museum for him. It was even better after we found him to look through the gift shop and hear how excited he is about geology and dinosaurs and what not. We ended up purchasing several things. One was a frog (that we named Short to stay on my dash so I will think of him). The other was a small bottle of Peridot stones. This is Brenn's birthstone and since he is always asking me about it, we got him some.
I have pictures from the rest of our day but I am really sleepy now. So, I will tell you more tomorrow - Good night!
