Heading for the Big A
Saturday morning, someone rang the doorbell. It was the postman and he had a big envelope that was short .23 postage. It was addressed to my wife so I gave him a quarter.
It was an invitation from one of her cousins. It's for a Quinceaneras which is a Mexican/Catholic thing they do for a girl when she turns 15, kind of a coming out party. It's damm near like a wedding, these people spend 1000s of dollars on them. It's a church ceremony then a big party.
As soon as I saw what it was, I knew I was doomed. She didn't say anything till yesterday but I knew she was going to want to go. So I guess you might be asking yourself why this is such a big deal.
Well, you see, her cousin lives in Amarillo. I would rather get a barb wire enema than waste a weekend driving to Amarillo. However, sometimes you just gotta grin and bear it so being the great guy and terrific husband I am, I just nodded and said no problem. So we're leaving tomorrow afternoon and coming back on Sunday.
Pray for me. It's gonna be a long weekend.

Is there a country song called "Armadillo from Amarillo"?
If not, there should be.
There were two highlights of the trip.
1. Not getting a ticket when driving around 1000 miles.
2. Stopping to see the stars in the middle of nowhere.
The rest of the trip was tolerable. I'll post some picture as soon as I get them uploaded to Shutterfly.
