We are trying to figure out if we can go to Louisiana for Mardi Gras this year.
Last year was so much fun. This year, I have a bigger truck, and my kids are one year older and easier to keep an eye on; but we also have school that week and if Ninja Truck breaks, we are in deep trouble.
Last year, we spent twelve hours driving. I had my friend Q with me, so that made it easier. This year, Q doesn't live here anymore, and I will be all aloooone.
Last year, we were following one of my sisters who was driving my mom's car. I was on the phone with her figuring out dinner plans. This is our conversation:
Sis: Oooooooooooooooo
Me: What?
Sis: :::sounds terrified::: Oooooooooooo
Me: Are you ok?
Sis: ....peanut
Me: Peanut? Is James in the car? (My nephew is allergic to peanuts, but wasn't in that car...that was the only reason I could think of to be scared of a peanut)
Sis: I found a .... PEANUT. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Me: What's wrong???
Sis: :::heavy breathing::: PEANUT
Me: :::starts laughing uncontrollably because what else could I do?:::
Sis: oooooooooooooo
My friend Q: :::cracking up just because I am::::
Sis: Oh, ok, so where do you want to eat?
Me: Wait...what's up with the peanut?
Sis: Oh, I'm scared of driving on bridges.
Me: And the peanut?
Sis: I was singing that song....you know..."found a peanut, found a peanut"...
So really, could this year top last year? Probably not.
