We now return to our regularly scheduled programming
This post is best enjoyed with the sound of a buzzing vuvuzela.
You know I work from home and rarely have to leave Loriville, right? Well duty called and I had to venture over to the next county for a mediation. What does that mean? It means that I had to get out of my "yoga" gear and put on a dress and some lipgloss.
Destination? Park County. Yes, the very South Park that you know and love.
It is just one mountain pass away-- but the pass is literally one switchback after the other all the way. On my way home I was behind Grampy and Granny Pokeyass, who were driving about 6 miles an hour.
I spot a herd of deer ahead and since I am driving so dang slow, I get my camera out of my purse (which was sitting right next to me. I did not leave my seat I promise).
By the time I got close, this was the only shot I could get.
The view is spectacular.
Oh, look. This is a windy road. I probably should not be taking pictures.
Wait, let me just get a shot of myself.
That is when things went downhill (get it downhill? I crack myself up).
Look out ahead.
I was on the road, I swear.
Hey, I think this is kind of fun.
When I got home, I put on some regular clothes and Matt and I went to try out a Mexican restaurant we had never been to. They had the biggest freakin plates that I had ever seen. This is not an optical illusion.
PS. The mediation was no bueno. Nothing resolved.

Love those twisty roads ...aaarggghhh... took me 2.5 hours to get over one ridge on the way to TN and a half tank of gas because of one teeny-tiny mishap, a tractor-trailer ran out of gas and had to be moved to the side and traffic re-routed around it without careening over the 500' drop! Never got out of second gear...you should have scared the beejeebies out of that couple and PASSED them...that slow, it would have been fine but I wouldn't have gotten to see those great pix of you...you're beautiful...now, pay attention to the road... come visit when you can...
