Wow, this was a very abnormal weekend. I wasn't even going to write about my week, I had something else planned to rant about this week. The week started off normal till about Friday. I had been done with work for a couple of hours when my mother called. She was in town with my Grandmother, and wanted to go to lunch which I did because I was hungry and can't pass up a free lunch. Her and I caught up on up on stuff like usual. After lunch, mom and grandma were heading over to Hobby Lobby and I hadn't been there in awhile so I decided to join them. Well, I ended up just wondering around after I decided to buy a sketch notebook. There sure is a lot of weird stuff that people buy. Another thing I noticed was that there sure was a lot of hotties that go to Hobby Lobby on Friday afternoon. Maybe I will go there more often. After that I went home and tried to do some homework. After reading about five page in my text book I fell asleep for a few minutes and I couldn't really remember what I read so I decided to watch AOTS and XPlay on G4. I finished reading and then went to meet my sister in Waseca because my mother was ging to ride her horse in a sled drawn horse parade *is that really what it was called* (I don't know but it sure sounds close enough). Well just before it started a group of people put a play on in the street. They put something on about some guys were looking for a wanted man which they ended up shooting (with real guns but using blanks) and then the law came and there was more shooting. While play was ending I looked down the street and saw the begining of the parade which was good because my face was starting to freeze. Five minutes went by...I looked down the street and it looked like the parade had started. Five minutes later....I looked down the street, the parade was in the same spot as before. Five minutes later...I looked down the street and the parade had advanced a few blocks but then as I was about to look away I show two horses passing the lead horse with a carriage behind them but not for long because it broke free from the horses and turned sharply toward the curb which stopped it. I can only imagine that the loss of the carriage helped the two horses run faster but I do know that at least one of the horses had been spooked. With nothing holding them back the pair went full gulp down the cleared street. I think they wanted to stay away from large group of people as much as we wanted them to stay away from us. As they past us, it was clear that nothing could stop them. Fortunately or unfortunately there was a city truck parked a few blocks down from us to stop traffic from going down the parade route. From what I heard later was that both horse came out with just a few scratches, which is amazing seeing as how to one of them did hit truck, which is what stopped them. Well this turned into a long post, while there is more it is just not a interesting as what I just wrote. One last note before I go, I switched with a co-worker to work a weekend and I think that it is next weekend so I may post early or late.
*this was the other voice in my head* and then I answered
