So my commitment to the two weeks hasn't gone so well huh? I do have a huge and bad excuse.
As many of you know I've had a Jeep Wrangler for several years, 2001 to be specific. I got her just under 11,000 miles and this Saturday night we were cruising past 140,000 miles until... sigh...... until we topped a hill and our headlights fell on a beast in the middle of the road. A four-weight black steer in the middle of the road on a dark night. Despite my best efforts to stop I'm afraid it was not to be. We hit with a large thud and the drive came to an end in total blackness in the cool of the night in the middle of a country road. ahhhh the adventure that is my world.
Thankfully we were not hurt and the state patrolman who helped us out was not only courteous, but handsome too! Thankfully my friend who was with me is from this area so we were able to get a ride home and call it a night about 3am. Not the adventure we were looking for, but another adventure just the same.
This week I'm waiting to hear from the insurance company and praying for enough cash to get the Jeep fixed or to get something that will work for the time being. To get past my Jeep sorrows this weekend I have a bachelorette party to look forward to and maybe a little automotive shopping. In the meantime, if you know anyone looking for a "blemished" Jeep with a lot of lovely memories, you know where to find me. I'll be the brunette with a microphone hitchhiking to the next meeting!

Earth Shattering News
This just in from the AP, a toilet paper researcher has determined that 3-ply toilet paper is even better than 2 ply. Yes that's right, I'm talking about toilet paper again (see the July Blog "Roughin It"). It's also apparently correct that there is such a thing as a toilet paper researcher.
Clear your schedules & find a sitter for the kids, the new 3 ply quilted product hits the store shelves Monday, but ladies, please don't squeeze the charmin!

New Goals
Another season and another flip of the calendar means a great opportunity/excuse to tackle some of the things I should do on a daily basis. The first is to blog on a regular schedule. For the next two weeks it's going to happen everyday!!! Yhea, two weeks is not much time, but it's a great place to start.
More good news, I'm going to give up coffee..... te he he
Ok, I'll really work on giving up soda or at least cutting back to a couple a week. I don't like to support a billion dollar company so reliably so I'm going to take that change elsewhere.... probably to another large business who likes my money too.
So it's not been as busy since the fair wrapped up. There have been a few events that we'll try and recap, but
The fair was another busy experience and fun too. Aubrey, who's made an appearance here before stopped by the fair to take in the Bud tent while KMZU intern Carah Hart, on the left, stopped by to be the sensible voice of reason. Carah was also busy showing hogs at the fair this year while helping us out in the Red Radio. Carah was our guest host during the annual Sale of Champions this year. The sale was another exciting experience and broke several sale records again. Great event to attend and support if you get the chance. Money from the sale goes to the kids exhibiting the animals and a percentage of the sale price also goes to the State Fair Foundation where the funds will benefit the fair and give scholarships to other students who exhibited at this years fair. We did have more technical issues at the beginning of the sale but it seemed to iron out after that. Carah did a great job with the interviews. I think she'd also like to have her own market animal in the sale next year. Good luck Miss Cara!!
