Nacogdoches: Travelogue

August 01, 2005

This weekend! So many exciting things happened! Can you imagine how wonderful it
was for me?!?

Friday night, I saw Willy Wonka Honka Tonka Yonka. It was bizarre, and I'm not
sure that I can say it was bizarre in a good way. But, it was entertaining.
Great movie to see at the dollar theater!

Saturday I drove to Denton and hung out with friends. And what did we do?
SCRAPBOOKED! I love scrapbooking. I like to pretend like I am a professional
scrapbooker, giving people advice on what they should do. When really, they
don't want my advice and their book looks fine in the first place. But you know,
since Roger is a graphic designer, I like to pretend like I know everything he
knows. AS IF it rubs off on me, or something. Bianca was there too, but she
doesn't scrapbook. She makes cards. And later that day I hung out with Bianca at
her new house!

Saturday night, I picked Roger up from the airport! He's home! No more sleeping
with uncuddly baseball bats!

Sunday I drove down to Nac-a-nowhere, where I just barely finished my first year
of college. I had been invited to a baby shower there, and there was NO WAY I
was going to miss it. To keep myself entertained while I drove, I took the
digital camera:

Almost there!

The epicenter of Nac

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda! I couldn't resist taking this picture. The paper plate, ON HER HEAD!
She's drawing a picture of a baby for a game we played.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My own drawing looked a lot like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone got a HOOTERS onesie for baby Dillon. I'm not convinced that Amanda was
thrilled about that, although she looks pretty happy in this picture.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This picture just shows that Amanda wasn't the only one at her shower. There
were LOTS of us!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING, WARNING!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had a great time! I left around 5pm, and entertained myself while driving
home:

I never realized how dirty my sideview mirror was!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I managed to take this pic while driving:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this one, too. To show Roger that I really wasn't speeding.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's impossible to go to East Texas and not stop by the establishment known as
the Texas Stop Sign. With a steak finger basket exclamation point! We don't have
these in Dallas proper.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops. I forgot to take a picture when I first got it.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so glad that Dairy Queen thought to remind me to throw away my snowballs!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In East Texas, they're sneaky. Rather than keeping your eye out for patrol cars,
you have to watch for these:


(that's a Texas State Trooper, by the way!)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoa! What happened?


No, not really. I just found this image while I was looking for a State Trooper
truck, before I drew the one above.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone else see what I see?
Hint: Michelangelo

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, let me help you:


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! It's me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home, sweet home!
