Our State Fair is a great State Fair

Kind of makes you want to see Oklahoma or at least listen to the soundtrack�not. The State Fair is my favorite thing to do in the summer and it starts today. And I am very sad to report that I can not find anyone who wants to go this weekend. Now, I could easily find one of my friends that wants to go at night and go see whichever bands are playing and eat crap and drink beer (all good things) but I want to do the fair stuff�walk around and see all the vegetable chopper sales pitches and ride the Zipper and drink 25 cent flavored milk and walk through the horse barn and see the casseroles and baked items entered into the 4-H contests before they get all moldy and runny (by day 10 they are super gross). Nope, no one will go with me. It�s sad, isn�t it? I have nothing planned this weekend for a very big change of pace and no one wants to go to the fair with me during the day, not even my family. I tried to get my friends with kids to go and no dice, no one wants any part of it. It�s a sad, sad day here in Jessterville. I am wearing black today in mourning.

I should not own anything white. Period. I bought a pair of white Capri pants this summer but returned them after giving it a little thought as to my tendency to spill. So I bought a white hoodie a couple weeks ago because I needed something to wear on the plane home from Cincy and my only sweater stunk like smoke from the casino. I was wearing it yesterday when I went to my waxologist to the stars (aka the wax Nazi) and yep, she got wax on it in an overzealous swoop of her waxing wand (or Popsicle stick). This morning, I went to put on one of my many white t-shirts (Ann Taylor, round neck, not stretchy) but they all have special properties and I wanted to wear this particular one and I got lipstick on it so now I am forced to wear today�s #2 choice (Gap, round neck, stretchy), it�s kind of like the Miss America Runner-up since T #1 is no longer available to perform its duties.

I feel much better, but my glands are still kind of swollen and my throat hurts but I will live I am pretty sure. I was supposed to have a guest today which I was looking forward to but I am not sure if said guest will be in town or not. I did call Bryan 3 on Monday to let him know that there was a big Phish special on TV and 3 days later, he found the time in his schedule to email me. I think that the nunnery is looking better and better every day.

Have a good Thursday. If you do go to the Fair, say hi to Bobo the clown in the dunk booth for me, no one slings insults like Bobo but for me, it�s just a fond memory.

Jess
