I'll be on a bus this weekend for about 24 hours. I keep trying to figure the best way I can sleep in a bus seat. I tried practicing in my chair at work. I hope I can sleep several hours straight, although my body will be physically crooked. It's weird that our bodies really like being horizontal for sleep.
An original rap of self-expression by Ulovebeth hoping that this situation is wrapped up soon.
My tire went splat.
And there I sat.
Called my friend's dad.
Then it wasn't so bad.
The next day passed.
Had a full tank of gas.
My spare is yellow.
It be screaming, "HELLO!"
The price is high.
I don't know why.
Somebody got my type?
These tires are all hype!
Spare wheel still yellow.
Still saying, "HELLO!"
Tomorrow betta' be the day.
When it rolls my way.

I had a flat tire on Wednesday. Through a series of miracles, I got a spare put on for me and made it home safely.
Sometimes life is kind of weird in the drama department. I don't even have reality cameras following me around, but sometimes a great story is weaved for us even without a director's script. There might have been elements that I would have added or deleted, but it wasn't a bad episode of events.
I met with some high school friends and my area director for Young Life last night. We had a good time chilling and eating Freebirds.
One of the girls, A, had a job interview at a fastfood place on the "Nawf" side of town. On the way there, the sky decided to drop huge buckets of rain making it hard to see. After dropping off A, I had to get gas since I was going to drive her further north to her house afterwards.
I pulled into an Exxon, and while I was getting gas, I heard a loud, "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." I thought it might be the gas pump next to me. Then I noticed my tire looked a bit low. Then I noticed it looked really low. Then, it was a pancake.
How was I going to get A home? And how was I going to get me home?
I started twittering like a hummingbird so it would connect to internet world and find maybe find some friends nearby. I also called, Ann, who lives on that side of town, and she called her dad, and before you knew it, the day was saved!
A got a ride from her mom. And I got a sweet new yellow wheel and spare tire.
I felt very blessed to have been taken care of by my great Houston network. God has given me a wonderful friends-who-are-like-family plan here.
Ann said, "You're taking pictures?" She doesn't get what it's like to be your own paparrazi. I make my own news.

Do you know the way to San Jose?
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Sometimes, my mind is filled with these burning questions sending me into melodic madness.
I'm on a *bucks high right now. Ride the coffee wave!!
Somehow, the barista twisted my arm and had me buy something from the pastry selection. She said something convincing like, "Would you like to buy a pastry?".
I selected a marshmallow square totally expecting to be disappointing. Usually, they are kind of stale and taste a bit preservative-y. But I still wanted it. I thought I could rationalize that more than the brownie.
When I took my first bite, I was pleasantly surprised! It tasted very much like the ones that are homemade from the box! This could be a very bad thing for my life. People might start saying behind my back, "Remember when Beth used to workout all the time?"
But for now, thumbs up to *bucks for redoing their recipes! I thought the new campaign in the stores was just that: a new campaign. But by golly, this team means action!
I've lived in Texas for several years now. I heard a transplant like me say the other day that it takes ten years to become a Texan. I thought there might really be an offical rule like that, but he was just making it up.
I don't know if I'll be in Texas until I die. Or if I'll retire in the hills of Kentucky. I guess a lot of that depends on my invisible husband and nonexistent children. We'll see what the future holds.
A few weeks ago the two events pictured below took place. One giving me such a peace about being in Texas and feeling like I live in vacation land. The other, scared me silly and I do not want to ever have to repeat the incident again.
