I drove one mile per hour under the speed limit all the way to the Chicago Midway airport. I got there in an hour and a half. I bummed around on the side-road there for a few minutes, because according to his flight status, he was delayed half an hour, but I still got there about the time he originally should've been ready, and there he was!! His luggage was nowhere to be seen,though- we hung out for a few minutes, he grabbed his bag, and we were off. We both had brought food for each other, but ended up eatting only a big apple, some baby carrots, and drinking water. We were both pretty tired, but were energetic, and it was a good ride. We got 'home' after 3:30, went to sleep and woke up alright. A bit tired, but that's to be expected.
Church went well- and we stayed awake. It was mostly about anger, and I know I have a problem w/ that. I take too much responsibility, make other peoples' issues mine- and I let stupid little things bother me sometimes.
We dressed up 'country' to go to the fair. Aaron wore a plaid shirt- kind of khakish green and off white, w/ jeans, a red bandana, and a straw hat. I wore a green striped shirt w/ a rather big collar, a long jean skirt, and a navy bandana around my neck. I hardly saw anyone else dressed 'cowboy.' I only remember one w/ the cowboy hat. Everyone else just looked like 'normal' w/ jeans or shorts, casual stuff.
We had a good time, and I especially liked 'Amber' a sheep. She was shaven, and had a wrinkly neck, and by her butt. I thought she was young, and still growing into her skin. Aaron thought she was a mom. She was very socialable, getting close, letting us pet her, eatting Aaron's shirt, licking my hand, climbing up the fence . . . . I made a friend today!
Aaron also tried a real cream puff!! and did he like it?? 'It was pretty good.' But he ate his half, and helped me finish mine!!
I like how a 1/2 pint of milk is 25c there. I think it is a good, healthy thing. I was happy w/ some of the 'socially aware' or whatever things I saw there.
More about it later. baaah!
