Testicle Festival and Toby's quotes

We planned Sunday to be a "date" Sunday...starting off with Belgian waffles, coffee, and love ;) It turned to a little yelling, Belgian waffles and cleaning!!! WTF. So, by 2pm, we wrapped up the cleaning, and headed off to Ashland, NE, a few miles outside of Omaha. We were headed to a cute little sandwich/ice cream shop, and a gallery of dead animals...SO here are a few things Toby said along the way..

Toby: oh look, it is sure filling up now

April:what?

Toby: the gravel pit. blah blah blah. Man, I really want one of those.

April: what?

Toby: a gravel pit.it would be so cool to have one. blah blah. It pays for your land itself. blah blah blah.

April: (inside my head) "what is wrong with him? oh look, how frozen the river is. I wonder how the turtles survive?"

We arrive in Ashland. Look what I saw!

Wow - really??? A testicle festival?? I looked it up and it is in June!

Conversation later in bar-b-que place with Toby...

April: I can't believe there is a Testicle Festival here!

Toby: oh yeah, I used to eat the shit out of them in college

April: hmmm, really? gross.

Toby: oh yeah, there was this place in Lincoln that had them buffet style. You could get them grilled, sauteed, covered in gravy!

Darn, sandwich place stopped serving lunch at 2:30pm. So headed to delicious bar-b-que place, after checking out the Willow Point Gallery in Ashland.

Yummm, bar-b-que.....

On the way home...Toby is driving

Toby: Look peep, your car is going 100 mph!!!

April: seriously?! wtf? my car is like 11 years old. What is wrong with you?

And later that night...

Toby: OMG - I am SO hungry, I need ice cream, or like a chocolate donut.

April: No, you just ate a giant t-bone. eat some berries.

A nice ending to an ever interesting 'date' by April & Toby. I often say, its a good thing this is NOT our first date ;) With a smile on my face and laughing always on the inside, I go to bed. And Monday ends with Toby cooking dinner, steak...and watching the Bachelor together, with only minimal comments (from him of course) about how slutty everyone is. And he cannot believe "that hideous blue dress Cori is wearing"

hehehehehe.

To blog or not to blog?

So, I finally decided to "blog" not b/c I have a very exciting life, (well, sometimes...)but my everyday interactions with my co workers, and husband are quite entertaining. And I could not help but share my husbands, and co workers constant quest for gas station food, and eating as cheaply as possible, without becoming future "Biggest Loser" contestants. Plus, sometimes I have to repeat my ridiculous stories mulitple time,s and perhaps save my voice and just write it, and even document with pictures to prove that since moving to the Midwest, by choice, I might add, life has taken an interesting, fun, and somewhat odd turn. Join me on my quest through the "pit" at my job, my new husband, my adventurous best friend co worker, and my eternal efforts to stay rooted to my fellow Texans.
