This is too hilarious!

The Fair, The Fair, We're Going to the Fair!!!

We actually went to the fair! It was ever so exciting. I took a bunch of pictures, in hopes I'd find something fabulous to blog about. Well, the camara phone only does so well.... However, I did get this picture of yet another fried food on a stick stand. It's amazing what some people will eat. Though, I must say, this one might actually be good.

Superb Lunchtime Conversation

Today Renay and I went to lunch at Charleston's. It was truly quite superb and I quite enjoyed my ever-so-fatty meal of chicken tenders with gravy and fried okra. Needless to say, the diet went out the window for this meal. I have been watching my food portions and the type of food I have been eating so after having a meal laden in fat, I felt about 100 pounds heavier... which, brings us to the conversation below... Aren't bodily function conversations such fabulous lunchtime topics?

Justin: I feel the need to throw up my lunch.
Renay: Don't worry it'll pass.
Justin: Yeah, in about 12 hours.

A moment of seriousness...

I usually don't blog about serious things, but I really am disturbed by what happened in Virginia - if you don't know, a young woman was held captive and tortured for about a week. That said, I'm pasting a link to a commentary from CNN.com. Feel free to comment.

The Fair, The Fair, We're Going to the Fair!!!

OK, ladies and gents, Thursday, 9/13 marks the official start to the Oklahoma State Fair! It's almost time for us to make fun of the white trash, toothless, beer-drinking people who come out of the woodwork this time of year. Please wish us all health and safety as we embark on the Carney Ride version of CRAZY MOUSE. I am soooo excited!!!

OH - I almost forgot - this year, we are building on tradition. Instead of just walking around and being our normal hateful, catty selves, this year, we have a picture scavenger hunt to embark upon. It includes items like:

1. Pregnant woman smoking or drinking. Double points if she’s doing both.
2. Barefoot kid, or kid just in a diaper. Double points if both.

The team with the most points at the end wins a free adult beverage!

Employee DOES NOT EQUAL Visitor

We have a few parking spots at work which are clearly designated VISITOR PARKING. They have a sign and everything. As such, employees are not permitted to park there. It's kind of a faux pas... Much like a non-handicapped person parking in a designated Handicapped parking space. That said, there is a trainee in my last class who frequently parks there - even after we've repeatedly told them this is unacceptable. His excuse is that he does not want to be late, so he just parks there. Well, on my way out of the building on Friday, I saw his car parked there, snapped this photo, then promptly turned him into security. I hope they towed his car.
