It's county fair time. I'm not a crowds person. I'm not a rides person. Yet today, after dropping off my mother-in-law at the airport (which you would think entitled me to a day in bed eating vanilla fudge and having my toes massaged) I elected to take mini-pear to the fairgrounds by myself.
Must tot up numbers.
$18 - admission for the two of us.
$9 - highway robbery parking
$14.50 - 20 ride tickets
$4 - french fries to consume while watching monster trucks
$3.75 - additional tickets required in order for us to both ride the ferris wheel
$4.95 - caramel apple stack
My nose is red and my feet are very, very tired. I talked myself into this because someone asked if I'd take their child with us to the fair. I hadn't even seriously considered going in the first place, but of course, once I mulled over the idea of taking two kids and said no to that, just taking my own on a Thursday afternoon looked like a most attractive alternative. I just don't know why I didn't also consider laying next to the pool reading or something, because that definitely would have won out.
