home again, home again, now i can sleep.

i'll write more later, but i'm home. drove home through the countryside today from a town just north of roanoke, VA... stopped off in charlottesville on the way for the Vegetarian Festival and to pick up a DVD (shrek).

right now i'm too exhausted to possibly consider going out tonight. we'll see if things change.

seen on the back of a milk truck:
Drink Milk For Fitness

me: "wow. drinking milk is a workout?"
boy: "yep. calisthenics and cows."
me: *glances at boy*
boy: "yeah, you make the cow do calisthenics. cows hate calisthenics. then you try to milk the cow. it's a really strenuous workout... lots of wrestling and head-butting."

on repeatedly getting stuck behind SLOW drivers from florida on the BR parkway:
me: "AAAAUGH. another floridian going 30 mph in the middle of the woods. GO HOME!"
boy: "how can you tell?"
me: "see the manatee?" (referring to the license plate)
boy: "DRIVING?"
me: *silence*
boy: "are you trying to tell me that a MANATEE is driving that car?"
me: "no."
boy: "guess they got tired swimming."
me: *silence*
boy: "guess the leaves are really famous, huh?"
me: "i was talking about the license plate."
boy: "oh."

last night at the hotel:
i'm resting on my back, i kick my feet up and start doing the "bicycling" exercise.
me: "join me. i'm riding."
boy, joining in: "oh, where are we riding our bikes?"
me, looking at him: "we're riding aardvarks."
boy: *dies laughing*

pictures of muddy buick and stomping puddles

note:

I am not responsible for the consequences of viewing these pictures. I'm simply recording them for posterity's sake. In other words, DAD, don't look.

Here's what my car looked like last night before i went to bed.

And this morning, I decided to take a closer look in the light. Check out the nice windshield and roof spots. :D I'm pretty impressed.

I was pretty filthy, but this picture doesn't show it.

The following probably won't bother anyone unless they are old, Russian, and female:
splash
puddle-stomping

A request:
knobs

so, explodingcat and i are sitting here, happily slurping away at our vegetable soup.

boy: ACK *sputter* Did you put some weird spices in here?
me: um, did you just bite down on a clove?
boy: *stony stare* YES.
me: *cackles*
