• A 120 pound Rottweiler thinks he's an 8 pound Chihuahua.
• Riding in the rain on a motorcycle, even if it's just a little sprinkle, hurts.
• Riding over bumps and potholes on a motorcycle, no matter no little, hurts
• I still love riding on motorcycles
• Presbyterians love their hymns
• Filipino women are the coolest and cutest
• Rural Indiana isn't so bad (but I still don't want to live there)
• Home made biscuits and gravy are the shit
• It's nice to get away from Louisville (but not so nice to get away from J)
• I love shopping
• People in rural Indiana take care of their lawns and their houses
• Apparently I look Hawaiian and J looks Mexican...who would have known?
  

So as you all can tell, I had a great time in Indiana. It was a time for me to clear my head and not think about certain issues. It's almost impossible to not do that in Louisville. Thank you so much Arlene for the cookout and biscuits and gravy! Who would have known that Filipino woman could throw down like that. And I never got tired of Jing saying bullshit. I think my favorite part is that they have difficulty relating the f sound so when she said flip-flops she ended up saying plip-plops. I love her!

But I realize that a lot of Filipino women have it hard coming over to the States. The husbands use their loyalty to turn them into virtual slaves and it's very sad. But I love to see the outcome of the situation that these women have left. It's amazing.

Keystone Mall in Indianapolis is amazing. The stores are so expensive and it made my mouth water. I mean...the Coach store was great. Yea I know we have on in Louisville but I found my perfect bag in Indianapolis. Now I just have to find out where I'm going to get that $400 required.

But I had a great time in Indiana. But I think the best part was pulling up and seeing J when I came back. That was great. Can't wait to take J up there and show him all the corn fields! Just be prepared to be covered in Rosco's dog hair and dog spit. He shows you he loves you with his tongue. A lot of stuff was hard this weekend. But I value J's patience and love. I can't say it enough.

Jack Handey quote of the day--

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
