control
Tuesday night I went to the State Fair of Texas with Andrea. We had a mission. Maybe it was a combined mission.
Me:
*One fletcher Corny Dog smothered in mustard and ketchup
*One texas tornader tators smothered in seasoning and ketchup
*One pound of sugar AKA Fresh squeezed lemonade
*One ride on the midway
Andrea:
*One fletcher Corny Dog plain (that's just not american)
*One Texas Tornader Tators smothered in seasoning and cheese
*One pound of sugar AKA Fresh squeezed lemonade
*One ride on the midway
I am happy to say we both accomplished the mission and did it under $15. It helped sharing the tators not only saving money but calories. A little less for me because I had a teacher fair ticket. It was fun and I enjoyed staying in the moment...taking in the sounds, smells, sights.
We decided on a ride that spinned us in circles in the air. I had my own little car on the scorpion. The loud music made me anticipate the fun I would have as we waited for the ride to fill up.
The ride whipped us round and round. There were several points where I closed my eyes and enjoyed it. I thought this is life. Round and round. Up and down. Spinning out of MY control. I knew and freely admitted I was out of control.
That's when I enjoyed it.
