Central Texas - Heaven or Hell?
Five reasons why Central Texas is heaven on earth:
1. my favorite barbecue establishment
2. my favorite place for queso and CHEAP margaritas
3. my favorite place for a nice view and EXPENSIVE margaritas
4. the birthplace of modern-day roller derby
5. my favorite place to just BE in the whole wide world
None of these places will be visited on my trip to Central Texas this weekend; therefore, I might as well be in hell! I will be staying in a farmhouse built in the 1930’s or 40’s (I can’t remember, but I know it was a long, stinky-ass time ago). I will have to share a bathroom with my in-laws. I will be surrounded by country folk that didn’t understand why I kept playing tackle football after I broke myself, so they most certainly can’t understand why I keep “rollerblading” after breaking myself again. I will be forced to eat vegetables with the yummy bonus flavor of bacon, if there is any room for vegetables at all. I will miss two derby practices. I can’t wait to get back home to start on all the things I should have been doing this weekend to prepare for The Kitten’s 4th birthday next week.
The mind is its own place, and in itself

good luck!
