306 Diaries

Today I spent a total of 2 hours on the road. All 2 hours were spent on FM 306, which is the only major street in my world nowadays. On it you can find a plethora of great places...

Lakeview Cafe (where us and a cowboy enjoying his steak by himself were the only ones dining at tonight....mmmmm, patty melt on rye), 4 gas stations across a 50 minute driving span, the steak finger place, Kristie's Boutique, and the aforementioned "306 Roadhouse"...oh memories....

Today's destination was my sister's Rhodesian Ridgeback Bentley's vet's office which is about 30 minutes down 306. I dropped him off at 8, drove back, then picked him up at 3 and drove back. He had surgery =( *Side Note* Today I noticed another veterinarian just 5 minutes away from the house. Pretty convenient. I almost started wondering why she would choose a vet so far, but then remembered that knowing my sister, I'm sure researched every vet in the county, then went through Dr. Sebby's credentials with a fine tooth comb, probably even making sure he got A's in 9th grade biology. *End Side Note*

I enjoyed this outing for the following reasons:

-First, I like to get out of the house. Being here for hours on end only leads to too much Jon and Kate Plus 8, which leads to me essentially becoming part of their family for the day. I know they would love me if they knew me.

-Second, KJ97 had the best song choices possible on today. I found myself lost in Fool Hearted Memory, Ocean Front Property, and Lead On. HEAVEN!! I have strayed a little from my country routes lately...I blame this on Rascal Flatts, Bucky Covington, etc....but these 2 hours brought me "strait" back to the basics. Nothing beats it. Oh how I love him.

On the final leg of the trip, I was behind a Mazda MPV van, circa 1986 (which we had when I was 4 by the way...in white) stuffed with about 18 people. I didn't even notice this until a little hand kept creeping up from the back and waving at me. I waved back to the kid, you know being polite. He probably thought I was talking to him since I was singing pretty loudly with GS at this point. Then all of a sudden I see Spongebob pop into the window. A HUGE Spongebob poster. The poster is dancing, swaying back and forth. This was distracting. I almost resented the child for distracting me, and I resented his parents even more for not having their kid buckled up. I wrote down the license plate. I'm not sure why. I have always hated Spongebob.
