Toto, I don't think we're in... wait... we ARE in Kansas!

Eric & I flew to Kansas last night to celebrate in yet another wedding of Eric's high school friend(s). At first, it seemed that all my friends were getting married in droves, but these days it's Eric's friends who are tying the knot left and right.

We'll get there, too. We're just taking our time. :)

Today we ran (okay, I had to walk the last bit) to Starbucks, which had closed down and so... you could technically say we ran to nowhere. We settled for Panera, where we sat by the window and enjoyed our coffee and bagels. As we watched, a couple in the parking lot proceeded to stand immediately outside their car and brush their dog in the grassy parking lot divider. They then pulled a massive tuft of dog fur/dander out of the brush and dumped it on the grass, got in their mid-sized sedan, and drove away.

We watched the hair gently blow in the grassy median like a furball tumbleweed.

It. Was. Disgusting.

Welcome to Kansas!




...no but really, Kansas is quite lovely, with its big sky and the grasshoppers that jump out of your way, as if to clear a path for your royalty self as you stroll home. Happy weekend!

Props for the title (& the story)

Sometime in late August, I was sitting on the grass at Rittenhouse Park, and suddenly, something hit me hard in the face- it was a PRAYING MANTIS!! Or something that resembled it.

Ooh, I forgot to check if it was headless.
