You have reached your destination

For the 3rd time, our GPS sprang to life on its own. This time it declared, "after 45 yards, you have reached your destination."

I'm starting to get a little freaked out.

This happened last night. I was in the bedroom studying. Lance was in the living room. I thought maybe he grabbed the GPS for some reason and was downloading updates or plugging in new coordinates. But his "WTF?" exclamation indicated otherwise.

Anyway...it's a fairly quiet weekend. Lance and I did our grocery shopping yesterday. When we got home, the OSU game had already started, but even though we killed the Wisconsin Badgers, the game (other than a 96 yard touchdown we scored) wasn't very exciting. I fell asleep during 4th quarter. I was really tired.

When I woke up, I made a pot of chili. Lance took Reece out for a 2 mile walk while the chili was simmering on the stove.

And then after dinner, I did some studying. And that was yesterday.

Today, we're pretty much hanging out at home. Lance will watch the Vikings and Twins games. I still have more homework to do and some housework. Not a very exciting day.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend.

Is this real life?

I have never NEVER felt like punching someone in the face more than I do right now.

I just got back from taking Reece on a walk. We had barely started our walk, when a car pulled up alongside me and I heard a man's voice say, "Excuse me?"

I looked over at his car. He had what I assume to be his wife and 2 kids in the vehicle. So I thought he was going to ask me for directions or something.

But no. He looked at me and asked, "Have you seen any little n-ggers running around here?"

After several seconds of gaping at him in shock, horror, disgust and incredulity, I finally said "no", and he drove off. And I told the rear end of his vehicle that he is an asshole.

What I should have said was, "Maybe you should look for them in 1860, when words like that were still socially acceptable."

I am so angry. SO ANGRY. And it ruined my whole walk. Up until some cute little kids and their parents (grandparents?) came by and stopped to pet Reece.
