No matter how old or worn down she gets, I will always love her

The break was a great one. I did not see Kelly Clarkson, but I got to see most of my great friends. It was so good talking with and getting caught up with everyone. Spending quality time with my family was needed and wonderful. My parents are just fantastic. Sad it is all over, but good to come back to San Antonio and see co-workers and office life, cannot beat it.
I got a call from Hall, who arrived a day before me. Austin was dropping her off at the apartment complex and she said, "did you leave your car here?" I said, "Shut up." Hall said, "seriously, it is not here in its spot." My first thought was that someone stole the blue bullet, I know it is popular, but leave her be people. Hall's vehicle had a note on it threatening to tow it. So, we figured mine got towed, just great. I called the next day expecting it to be around 80-85 dollars. Wrong! It was 324.30!!! Yeah, what the crap. So, we took off to retrieve old blue could it have been any further away. It was in the worst part of town, even old blue looked good. I was afraid we were going to get shot or I needed weed to trade for my car. We walked in and we might have cancer from walking in that place with all the second hand smoke. The lady had a cig liter hooked onto her computer as one of her drives, what the crap. Then, Hall pointed out a terrible picture on the wall of the lady. You know the pictures in Napoleon Dynamite hanging in their house, it was like those.
Then the plane ride back was one to speak of. First off, when Beth dropped me off at the airport the handle that pulls up to pull the bag would not come up, so I looked like an idiot carrying my bag through the airport. People were looking at me as though I did not know it had wheels. I needed a sign that said, I know it is broken. Well, on the plane I became that girl, here is why. I pretty much stuffed my bag on the way home with all new stuff I received. I was not about to check luggage, it was all going to be carry-on. After waiting forever because all planes were delayed we finally boarded the aircraft. I was sitting towards the back of the plane, so many were behind me. I was trying to get my bag in the compartment above my seat and it was not going in. I looked back and it was that scene on Dumb and Dumber when they turn the corner on their moped and so many cars are behind them. So, I apologized and said, "sorry, I am that girl". All the passengers were already pissed because it was late. I am literally shoving my bag in the compartment and an old lady looks over and says, "if you break that they will take all the people off this plane and we will have to wait on another one". I took that as stop trying to push it in, so I did and had to take things out of the front pocket of the bag and hold them. Great plane ride.

I was in a Baptist church the other day picking up tickets for a MLK Breakfast for my boys, and they had this huge mural that was a collage of prominent African Americans in the Civil Rights movement, and at the center was the man himself, Dr. King, ripping off his bload soaked shirt to expose the massive, muscle bound body beneath. I understand the symbolism with the CR movement continuing after his death, but was it necessary for it to be lifesize? I love Dr. King, but his picture was bigger than the black Jesus to his right. Sorry, the wierd picture story made me think of that and I needed to share it with someone.

Kenli- You make me laugh! Sorry your towing experience was so expensive. This summer I almost got towed- I got to my car just before they lugged her away! Keep enjoying San Antonio!
