lotsa awkward people - it was awesome.

So ... the march for Science.
Admittedly, I'm not math-y or science-y, but I have an appreciation for their contributions! -
PLUS (not gonna lie), I was curious to what kinds of people would be there - so yep - IN!

On the way down, our uber driver lets it known that he's retired marine. I thanked him for his service
and he thanked me for the appreciation of his service.
This kind of threw me....
like..seriously? you've gone so underappreciated you feel the need to thank people who thank you? (...crazy. and sad that this is a reality)

Moving on, (to the March!) -
saw several sheldon cooper signs...
Breaking Bad "yeah! science bitch." sign.
Signs about rocks and space and ocean PH levels and other nerdy (...way over my head signs.)
Yep - there were several points where I questioned if people around me were even speaking English... "trajectories" and "pathways" and "bacillus" and "habitability"....ack!!! (*in my head*...i do not understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.)
There was a whole family of monty python/holy grail people (that were very popular) - with a graph of a cow catapult on their signs?
yeah....idk....

The reference is lost to me, I've not seen the movie...
But it was funny talking to the grandmother. She called her own people weird, saying she can't get her grandchild to dress for halloween but they go to a march for science all dressed as monty python characters and the kid jumps at the idea.
She's shaking her head laughing the whole time as she's taking pictures. ha!

My sign was a hit - Jamie told me it wasn't funny but it's me AND people laughed!!!....

There were definitely a whole lotta awkward people - it was awesome. Glad I went.

Roughriders game and Lonestar Park for birthday celebrations.
Didn't get to read much - I've started Susanna Kearsley Mariana.

And so we Weary Boys today - just 'cause

laughed out and over my head

so yes Saturday was a day of gals - Michaels, arts/crafts, lunch...and lots and lots of talking as  - girls are wont to do 

Then I was home by 4 and did my first ever Netflix binge-watch.
A British show called Chewing Gum....
some of the British vernacular went over my head,
I ultimately had to put closed captions on cause I couldn't understand what the f they were saying

but lord....I laughed and laughed.
Not gonna lie - a couple times so hard I about peed my pants.
I'm twitter stalking the gal now....:0)

Attempted to go to the DMV and was (naturally) let down on expectations and the "online reservation" process - ugh...

March for Science Saturday - trying to think of a sign - I'll never be as clever as nerdy science-y people. grr.
Did post to "the group" that Rick Perry will be speaking as "Head of Energy" at the Earth Day Fair park downtown on Friday though - people are vacillating between the vomit emoji and high amusement/sarcasm.

Also (of course) read:
Larissa Ione - Z (just have to kinda think that she'll always think she comes in second...right?) and Razr (he didn't do all that much for me....this was one of those times I loved the gal and her world much more. Hope she continues there)
Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen - good potential YA but not gonna lie, I skimmed through some parts. It's a mish mash of a lot of dystopian others. And not always the best parts.  I'll continue if it comes around. No die hard here.
Finished #3 and #4 of the EJamesEssex sisters - Not my favorite series of hers. I was entertained. thank you. 

Annnd I read an article today that said live music is dying - case it point Wormy Dog OKC is closing this month - I hope it's just a lull - I love live music. It's a huge stress relief.

To that end (poor choice of words) gonna go with a little old school Crystal Gayle

cheers to the freakin weekend!

Jamie's ditching me to go to the Arkansas Derby this weekend
...well not really ditching me I kinda nudged him to go. 
I've landed another day of gals tomorrow - then house to myself! score

Annnd....now I feel kinda bad. He never wishes the house to himself. Like....never. 
But lord, a gal just need a respite from the energy every once in a while. 
I do miss him a little when he's gone.

Anyway...local elections are coming up. Signs are popping up.
He asked me the other day what my sign would look like if I was running for office.
I guess it got the wheels turning cause I woke up at 1:34 this morning thinking that I should look into running for city council.
Cause yeah -  why not? I can do it!!!!!!!!!

I've barely researched into it and find my rep is a lifer in the seat.
Goes away when she reaches her consecutive max and is back again.
She's running uncontested.
Politics in Texas is no joke.
