Okay, so after I came home Monday morning from St.Joe, I officially began my own spring break. Monday and Tuesday didn't account for much. I got my hair cut, got my oil changed in the car, ran assorted errands (I love running errands or also as I call it to the laughter of my friends 'going into town'. I can't help that I've always lived out in the country.) and cleaned my house from top to bottom. Riley got in the way and got a bath too. I'm pretty sure I did some more things too and then got the satisfaction of crossing them off of the list.
Wednesday, my mom came into town because she was going to take Riley and Teddy home with her. We went to the casino in Booneville. Mom was only going to spend $20 so after 45 minutes came and found me because she had already lost it all. I cashed out with the orginal $20 I started with. We drove back to Columbia and did some shopping. I tried on a really cute dress but if I change weight in anyway it wouldn't fit, so I didn't buy it. I did buy Children of Men and can't wait to watch it again with Joe. Mom and I shared some McDonald's (her love for it is close to mine) and she went home with my animals. I then clipped and groomed the mules with Martha and Sarah Snyder. After that I went to dinner with Brad Scharf from undergrad. We went to Jazz and I had crayfish creole. It was good. We hung out and had some beers afterwards...Which now leads me to Thursday which means....
OKLAHOMA WHERE THE WIND GOES SWEEPING DOWN THE PLAINS....
I met everyone at the parking lot at 9:30am after having packed that morning. Someone asked me if I was the only girl, I thought I was and it was confirmed to which I cleverly responded-'well, at least I'll be the hottest one' There were nine of us riding down in the van and ten total going to the conference (Academy of Veterinary Consultants-mostly feedlot/beef vets). There were two first years, two second years, four third years and two fourth years. We went through BFE and caught I-44 outside of Springfield. Boy, do guys like to gossip. There were lots of jokes, talking about classes and professors and working for assorted vets. It was good times. We stopped at McDonald's in Buffalo. It started to pour when we got to Oklahoma and there was a tornado on one side of Oklahoma City. We checked into our rooms at the Mariott-I had a room to myself on the 15th floor and the guys (nine total) shared three other rooms. Then an open bar, dinner and a lecture. After that it was up to the hospitality room for some more free beer! I was living it up. We threw beers off the balcony and tried to hit an industrial fan. Do you know what it looks like when a full beer can hits an industrial fan? I do. Its cool. After the shut down the hospitality room, some of us went and bought beer at 7-11. This was how Pat was carded-'how old are you?' '24' 'Okay, its $23.98.' I however didn't get to return to a hotel room. I instead shared a cab with four guys and went to Brick Town-the bar district in downtown Oklahoma. We drank some more. I told a guy from a Budwiesier distributer that I thought he was hot. We called the same cab to pick us up and we got screwed over again. ($30 each way) We ate pancakes, hung out in a hotel room, and then I drunk dialed Joe. Friday was meetings all day. I took a nap in the afternoon getting up in time for dinner-more beef. Friday night I drank more free beer but chose to go to bed rather than go to the hotel bar. Saturday morning we sat in meetings and then checked out. I saved us a $110 by making the comment to the clerk that I had no shower pressure and the water in the tub had ran yellow. It did. The back into the van for the trip home. We chose to go north on I-35 into Kansas rather than 44 trying to avoid storms. When we stopped for lunch, gas and to allow me to buy some snowglobes for my collection, the guys oogled over a hot girl. I kid you not one of them said 'I'd pee in her ass.' Then we all groaned and told him he was gross. For about an hour outside of KC, we tried to catch up to a car of girls so one guy could moon them. I was told not to look at his junk and he sat next to me on the seat with his pants undone. He eventually gave up and mooned a line of cars. Ironically, when we were just outside of Columbia, we got mooned by a van full of teenage boys from Kansas. This guy returned the favor to them. I'm pretty sure that I've forgotten some great funny details but as they come to me, I'll add them as I think of them.
