Fair Time

So last week Trevor and I were able to go up and spend 4 days with Trevor's family. This was a blessing and a nice treat seeing as how we normally drive up there for one day and have to rush home. It was fair week, which means we went to the fair everyday we were there...because that's just what you do. And when your father in law conveniently has a tent where he sells lawn mowers you always have a shady place to sit and hang out. So I ate lots of junk...but nothing a few days somersizing level one won't fix.

I posted about my first experience at the fair on my blog 4 years ago here as you can see I have called it redneck week. Out of respect for my brother-in-law it will now be referred to as Country Week. We didn't get to go to the truck pull much to Trevor's dismay but we saw lots of friends and spent much needed time with the family. We had a speidie sandwich (something that only NEPA and southern tier of NY ppl know anything about). We have a cupboard full of speidie sauce in our house, we normally make speidies and share them with our less fortunate friends.

Oh and we helped Trevor's farmer friends bring in their hay. So I have now connected a full hay wagon to a tractor and climbed on the pile in the hay wagon and threw hay bails down to Trevor to put on an elevator where it when to the upper level of a barn where a group of other people stacked it. I think I missed my calling...I should have been a farmer.

This is going to be random.

So taco bells new cantina tacos...as legit Mexican as Taco Bell will ever be. Here is what it has that is authentically Mexican
Lightly seasoned beef, fresh cilantro, chopped onion, bland corn tortilla and a served with a lime wedge. To add to the authenticity there is no lettuce, cheese or sour cream (things that are not on a Mexican taco south of the border). However it is still taco bell so it is not real Mexican but it does remind my taste buds.

Random story: So Trevor and I are at the Goodwill Outlet. Yes goodwill has an outlet and yes it is cheaper than the regular Goodwill stores. But....everything except clothes and furniture is dumped in bins (like the kind you put recyclables out by the road in). There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. In one bin might be a naked barbie, some puzzle pieces and cards from a board game, a tupperware lid, a child's school notes complete with binder etc. And the bin stuff is sold by weight. So Trevor and I are rooting through them looking for treasures along with many local hobos and bag ladies. I find a bunch of DVD's not in cases but rubber banded together. I got excited and picked it up to see if there were any goodies and much to my shock, horror and dismay it was pornos and there were life scaring photos on the fronts of them. I quickly threw them back in the bin and then wanted to go vomit. Who donates porn to goodwill? Seriously....

Trevor might be able to switch to first shift soon but he is still thinking of a career change....still haven't heard but we are so close

As far as me, I am still unemployed, to tell you the truth it has been the best time of growth and reflection for me and in turn one of the best moments of my life. I did find something I would like to pursue career wise but training costs $15000 dollars. Hmmmm....

Lastly I my sister and I have had our first gardening experience this summer. It's actually her mother in laws garden but we did a lot of the planting and weeding. We are all inexperienced and may of lost our cucumbers to some sort of disease that spreads after it is attacked by some beetle or something. They were yummy cucs too. Sad...
