10 states in 7 days -- tennessee ---> mississippi ---> tennessee

settle in, kids. the pace slows down a bit starting...now! it is mainly window shopping so, yes! much slower!

the sun was angry that day, my friends. but i was fine with it since i have been living in the land of passive aggressive murk for years now. so once the kids were off to school and jer was off to work, maggie and i drank copious amounts of coffee on her back porch while listening to cicadas and catching up on more gossip.

HEAVEN!! SOUTHERN LADY BIDNASS!! heeee!

i did not think things could be much better (hormahgawwwwd, you would not BELIEVE all the things and people that people have been doing since i left!) but HAHA I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT SONIC! (that is a lie. i never forget about sonic.)

here was my breakfast! YES! GRILLED CHIEESE! A BANANA MILKSHAKE! CHERRY LIMEADE!!


i have missed this cheesy goop. it is impossible to make a grilled cheese like this at home.


AAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!1 *coughcough*


i think i might have scared maggie a little with my enthusiasm for breakfast ("I AM ENJOYING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SANDWICH!!") but that was nothing compared to how bouncy i got at aldi.


why? BECAUSE 89 CENT CHERRY TOMATOES THAT TASTE LIKE DELICIOUS AND NOT EXISTENTIAL DESPAIR!! THEY WERE NOT THE GHOSTS OF TOMATOES BUT REAL TOMATOES!!!


i ate most of those on the way to target. i will not even lie to you. maggie wanted to save some for her kids for dinner and i was all "*munch munch* do i HAVE to?! *munch munch*"

anyway, target. maggie and i lived here when i lived in memphis. this should be of interest to at least one of you: THEY HAD THE PAPER AMPS!!


but, once again, they were too large for my luggage.

also available for purchase, wax gnomes. ???


here i am being a tapehead.


after target, we drove to toys r us, our summer home when we were vacationing from target. these gargamels were on clearance. WHAT A SURPRISE!


and then somehow we ended up in mississippi? which, haha, it is actually really easy to do in memphis as the border is so close. anyway, we were there looking for a store full of repackaged fail foods but, surprise! it had gone out of business. so we stopped by this place


which what? where maggie insisted that i try on all the cloche hats. SHE WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNTIL I WEAR CLOCHES EVERY DAY! ONLY IF YOU WEAR TRILBYS, MAGGIE! 


on the way back to memphis i saw a po manz yot!!


and i laughed and laughed because, man, that is some straight up memphis shit right there.

TOMORROW! the pace picks back up as bunny and destructo TAKE ME TO MIDTOWN!! i stay in the same state but HOLY SHIT SO MUCH HAPPENS!!
