If I was a multimillionaire, the one thing I would do first would be to act on my road rage. I think I might go around ramming people who drive 23 in a 45 or the people who ride their brakes. Don't they get that they can just let off the gas? You will slow down (to 23 in a 45). Ugh. I hate other drivers. I should be the only one on the road because I am a fabulous driver! Haha!
That being said, I wish I was a multimillionaire.

I Just Want to Eat my Rice!
So, I hate things. Lots of things. I could go on and on and on and on and on about how I hate things. I hate are the following:
The perforated edge of a box on items that you are supposed to be able to punch in with your thumb or finger in order to make the product in the box pourable from the box. Here are a couple of examples:
Now, I have tried to do this many times. Whether it foil, mac and cheese, rice products, Cracker Jacks, what have you, this does not work! It just dents the box. You can even get after it with a knife. That just cuts the box. You still can't get the dam thing to actually press in. And Heaven for bid it is a press and pull! That really never works. I always end up having to rip the damn top of the box open.
Why is this on a box? It seems to me that companies could skip this and save a ton of money. I bet the crappy perforating machine costs a shitload! And the design of the font, colors, and the like...that has to cost money! I vote just get rid of it all together. I know that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to push it in. Therefore, my foil will go flying across the kitchen, unrolling, and getting all messed up. Hmmmm, maybe that's the idea. It makes you waste product!
In this old ass ad, it actually works!
I wonder why I can't make it work. I mean, I am not retarded. I have a masters degree. I think I can work a box. But, alas, I can not. I think it's because they make it damn impossible. Bad perforation, if you ask me!
And that is something I hate!

We are Woodsy!
Here are some of the fancy photos of our trip. Yes, we are an amazingly hot couple. I know you may have a hard time staring at such glaring beauty, so I added a lot of scenery. This trip was super fun! I wonder where we will go next. Man, it is so fun to date your best friend. It really is!
And here is a spectacular video of Jody become the first ever World Champion of Cabin (the game we made up when we realized we couldn't remember how to play dominoes)...

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool....
I have been a super lazy bum when it comes to blogging lately. I have no idea why. I love to talk about myself. So, I am just chalking it up to lazy because if there is any for sure thing in life, it is that I am lazy!
Lots of things have gone on. And nothing has gone on. I will say that I had the greatest weekend getaway to a cabin built in 1840 this last weekend. It's called the New Tracks Log Cabin. It was fab! It was old, rustic, smelly (in a good musty way), had no TV, had no radio, had a great boyfriend, and was just awesome.
We had some really awesome alone time together. I will post pictures. You know how you really love someone? You can deal with them for two days with no TV, and you don't fight! We had a LOT of "couple" time (wink, wink). We tried to play dominoes, but we couldn't remember how. Luckily, tucked away in a bag was a set of D & D dice (shut up, don't laugh. I know!). With those, we made up the super funnest game on Earth! CABIN! Jody became the first World Champion of Cabin. There is some very good video of this. I will post it later.
We went into Wimberley one day to hang out. We went to Pioneer Town. Again, I have pictures that I will post later. I haven't uploaded them yet. Anyway, Pioneer Town was fun. Quiet, desolate, and empty (said for a birthday party we accidentally walked in to). That was how it was when I went when I was a little kid. I guess things never change.
We then went to a pretty decent Italian restaurant called Marco's for dinner. We went to a few other places first. However, everything in Wimberley closes at 7. So, we ended up here. It was pretty good. We had a nutty little waitress named Laura! and a neighboring table with the most horrible woman sitting at it. Really, she was what I would refer to as a c*nt. And I don't use that word lightly. But, my goodness, she was mean. She kept embarrassing her kids (who sat silently and without movement) in front of anyone who would listen. She had this awful look on her face! And she kept being mean to those damn kids. The rest of her party (I assume her husband and parents) sat at the other end of the table looking down the whole time. They were one happy family. Being the audience, though was quite entertaining. Boy, she was awful. Luckily, my Eggplant Parmesan was not. It was really good!
We did a lot of drinking. Imagine that! But, not too much that we were sick. Well, I take that back. I had a moment on Wimberley night. But, after a few shots of tequila (the prize in rolling a certain number in CABIN), I had to sit out a few rounds staring at the toilet. But, alas, it passed, and joy returned! Also, the people who owned the cabin left us a fabulous bottle of wine (and an incredible continental breakfast of, I kid you not, four kinds of pastries, four kinds of cereal, yogurt, milk, orange juice, kolaches, coffee, apples, enormous homemade fruit salads, and all kinds of teas. It was so much food!).
All in all, it was a really great weekend. It was so secluded and in the woods. We say three cars and two people on bikes the whole time we were there. You have no idea what kind of good that can do a person! It was so cool!
Other than that, just been living life. I will post pictures later. And, I will write more because who doesn't want to know everything there is to know about me? Ha!
