Madness Monday

Here is a weekend random wrapup of things I learned this weekend.



1- The Flint Hills of Kansas are pretty this time of year. Driving through them to my final destination didn't make me want to poke a warm spoon in my eyeball. There are actual trees and hills in at least one part of Kansas, much to my chagrin. Also, people live in the Flint Hills, another fact that was only solidified in my mind while driving mach-9 down Hwy 77. I would cruise along and they would want to slow down and turn. Guess they really, really like it out there in the middle of nowhere? Odd.



2- A packed first-aid kit will be empty at the end of a weekend with my friends. Nevermind the ones that didn't go to the ER, he was a lost cause. But, since I had the foresight to pack some stuff I must toot my own horn a bit. And I will boast that a woman is always prepared for a disaster as long as she carries a Tampon. You read it right- one saved a pals life. We have a cake maker down. She had to have herself back in the kitchen to make some creamy goodness. The score was broken beer bottle- 1, cake lady- 0. As she bled like a stuck hog, I got out some antibacterial wash and bandages. It was evident from first look that those little cheap things were not going to stop the bleeding. So, Nurse KC whips out clean tampon and applied it to the wound. The hospital was very impressed and praised me. I am just proud that it kept the cake lady upright for a few more hours in Aggieville.



3- Fist pumping should only be done on Jersey shore. End of story. I can barely lift my arms up to take a drink of tea. I hope that cute little blonde guest book girl is in as much pain as I am today.



4- I could live in a Jimmy John's and that was solidified in my mind as I ate a sandwich from them at 1:30 in the morning. Their bread is close to heavenly and it may or may not have saved my life. The jury is still out however, since I still fell slightly dead.



5- I learned that no matter how tired you are and how beyond ready you are to get back from the bar asking a police officer is never a good idea. No matter how you state it they simply do not understand the "I am tired and I want to leave, so can you do your civic duty and tote me home?" routine. Oops.



6- Ford Focus' are really much more roomie than you would venture to guess. And they can seat seven people comfortably. Or at least I was as I cruised around the Little Apple on the laps of two people. The getting out is the tricky part. We poured ourselves out of it and you take that for what it is worth.



7- There are some hairsprays that are way more superior than the others. And professionals know how to use them, just as how a good fitter can do a better job. One can of helmet head like adhesive and one bad ass hairdresser and I can have volume and lift to my hair. However, it might take a few days for it to recover. If I pull chunks out in the meantime, I will save them.



8- Is is possible that I was in a wedding with the most laid back bride ever. Never did she get rattle or grouchy. Not even when it is T-5 minutes to blast off and the trumpet players were MIA or again when she sprained her ankle. She kept going, making us laugh and loving every minute of her day. Nice party, nice party!



I would love to get to 10, but my attention to blogging has waned and I am out of caring about this project. Hope you understand:)
