In search of a gas station

We didn't find it.

But this just means more east Texas driving adventures.

My friend Tiff and I headed out to shoot a gas station last night, but we couldn't find it.

Now, don't be alarmed, there were no bullets involved. But there were curvy roads, Chik-fil-A waffle fries, a sunset, and dessert with new friends. Not to mention good conversation with a friend who knows me well.

This illusive gas station resides on some back country Texas road and we WILL find it!

This Weekend

equals:

staying home
watching movies
hanging out at the barn
getting a root beer float
calling a friend
reading
sleeping in

i can't wait.

lesson

So I was walking up Madison Ave this afternoon at a fairly brisk pace (needed to get to the Met store before it closed) and BAM! I walked straight into the guy in front of me who suddenly decided to stop and dial a call on his cell phone. I politely smiled and walked around him, but on the inside was feeling smug that I had finally learned to navigate the streets of NYC to such an extent that I now know that stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in this city will cause certain calamity.

30 minutes later.

I was on the phone with my sis and having lousy reception, so I stopped to look at my phone and see what was up with it. Yes. I stopped. I stopped in the middle of a busy (and very crowded) sidewalk in this city. BAM. The poor (short) dude who ran into me gave me that look as he side-stepped around me. I'm sure I can guess what he was thinking.

I'm not feeling so smug anymore. Ah pride, you do cause the mighty to fall.
