What’s that?

There’s quite a bit going on this weekend in Central Arkansas. We have the start of the state fair today, the Susan G. Komen race for the cure tomorrow morning, and my college alma maters homecoming is tomorrow as well. Out of those 3 events, I will be doing 1 ½. What’s the half you say? I honestly had no plans of participating in any of the homecoming festivities. I remember SouthernGal asked me a few weeks back was I going to homecoming and my reply was “what’s that?”. Lol The entire time I attended there I went to maybe two football games and hell even that may be a stretch. I know for sure I went to at least one. My preference was to take a nap during the games so that I would be ready for the after parties. I told ya’ll I didn’t like sports. Lol FYI….Southern and I attended the same college and don’t know each other (although every time I see her face on her blog all I can think is that she looks REALLY familiar). We had the same major and everything so I am pretty willing to bet we took some classes together or at least passed each other in the halls of the BBA building quite often. :-)

Anyway…..my friends have been calling and asking me if I’m attending any of the functions. Of course, I’ve told them no but they are encouraging me to participate (after they had to remind me that homecoming was this weekend…I’m a mess). I told them if they can figure out a good reason to lure me out of the comforts of my home then I may reconsider. I was also invited to a house party Saturday night, so who knows. SouthernGal if I am persuaded enough, you may just see some strange chick with a short hair do come tap you on your shoulder hollerin out SOUTHERN!! Lol Just kidding, I’m not that crazy…well yeah I kinda am. Never mind.

Random thought: I cut my hair! I don’t think I mentioned it but I got it whacked off about 3 weeks ago. I got tired of the ponytail I was rocking everyday thanks to the summer heat. I initially wanted it cut like Tabitha on that Salon Makeover show on Bravo (LOVE that show by the way) but changed my mind and now it’s cut like V.Beckham’s hair. Not the cropped style she has now but the angled cut prior to that. Anyway, it’s cute on me and I love it. I think I shall keep it shorter for awhile because honestly these types of cuts have always flattered my face more.

Moving on, I won’t be doing the race for the cure. I haven’t even purchased a t-shirt yet! I’m so off track this year. I’m just not in the mood to walk through the streets of Downtown Little Rock/North Little Rock with 45,999 other women and children. I told my friend that if I go this year the best I could do was cheer from the sidelines and get all the free stuff they give out (because I usually miss out on most of it because I walk). She says she understands because she’s not going either. Lol Oh well, there’s always next year. I’ve participated for the past 7 years though so I guess me taking off one won’t hurt. I’m still going to run out today to the store they’ve set up (if time permits) to see if they have any shirts left. It’s the least I can do.

So that only leaves one thing for sure that I will be doing….THE FAIR. I know…I’m so country. Lol I’ve been feenin for a corn dog for awhile. I know some people will be like but they sell them at the grocery store. You know as well as I do that there is nothing like the taste of one @ the fair….nothing. I also want a turkey leg but not to eat by itself. I usually get a couple of them so I have one to make greens with now and one to make greens with later. I only cook them a couple times a year so it works out great. Speakin of I need to check with the local grocery store to see if they are doing that token thing again where you pay like fifty cents or a dollar to get in on the first day. If not, I may not be going to the fair either. Lol

Have a great weekend!
