Blonder then I pay to be

So we did manage to get out of town this weekend. Saturday morning we left Enid and took a short drive over to Stillwater. There are a couple of places Nickel and I like to shop there that we don't have here. After trying on 10 pair of jeanss and only buying one Nickel took me for some BBQ. It wasn't that great but edible. We piddy-poked around that town for about four hours before heading west towards home. But instead of going home we headed South for a bit and visited the quite town of Kingfisher. There wasn't much open by 4 in the afternoon but we did manage to find one Antique store open where Nickel picked up a very old comic book for a buck. We were on our way back home and I, being a little tired, was being very silly. From time to time I'd read billboards or other random signs. Nickel and I would race to find the Historical Markers along the highway or discuss the names people came up with for their businesses. We realized that it was really time to go home when we came to this sign.
"Look," I cried. "A big red triangle!"

I can't believe you actually tried on 10 pairs of jeans and are still sane.

I have never heard the word piddy-poked. Can I use that??

Aunt Jo, you are welcome to the piddy-poke word. I use it often with Peanut when she just won't get a move on! And who said I was sane after trying on 10 pair of jeans. Did you read how I read that sign?!??! Does that say "SANE WOMAN" to you?!?!?

So, you must have had a difficult time with high school geometry, huh? Maybe art, too, it seems. :)
Thank you for leaving a comment for me...you're my first!

jrh, you know what's really sad? I had a 116% in highschool geometry. It was the easiest class I ever took. And are, well, I did really good in art too, I'm no artist but I could hold my own! I think I was just really tired...and I tried on 10 pair of jeans and only 1 fit!!!!!

Well, of course I intended no jab at your intelligence, I was merely jesting at your expense. Honestly, the title of this posting is what really made me laugh.

:-P
