Welcome to My World

Warning: This is what small towns can do to you...






As many of you know, Cory and I moved to Carbondale, Illinois, for the next 3 years. Now, to be honest it's not as bad as I thought it would be. But let's face it...it's no Scottsdale. Many of the "folk" who live here are big hunters. My post on camo was no joke, I even have more pictures to add to that. Anyway, here is a window sticker that I thought was hilarious...as I have come to find out, it's very common! My absolute favorite though has been when I saw a sign for a "LOST GOAT"...man, how can you not love that?!


FAIR DAYS

Here are some of the healthy eating options that were at the state fair...by the way the tractor exhibit was a bigger hit than the rides! Seriously!



Pizza on a Stick






Donut Burger

(I had never even heard of this!!!)





Deep Fried Twinkies

(Also available: Deep fried Oreos, Snickers, or candy of choice)




This kind of eating is exactly why all of America is fat. But, on the up side, I have discovered something called a Lemon Shake-Up...whooa, these are amazing. They take fresh lemons, sugar, water and ice...a little bit of magic, and a good SHAKE..and there you go, heaven at the fair! And don't be fooled it is way better than lemonade, dont ask me how its basically the same thing.
