Hey people, i'm back from Back down Indiana way. It was actually a nice weekend. It involved the a few simple steps.

1) The trip down. Stopping at several fast food joints and finding the miracle that is Wendy's chilli (although i should point out that i was desperately disappointed with their burgers.) Also what's with the McDonalds advertisment for their new mini chicken fajita wrap - "welcome to Snacktown, population : delicious". I'm pretty sure that doesn't make any sense at all, and is in fact a pretty large abuse of the English language.

2) The birthday party on the saturday. This involved five small children running about like mad mini dictators unwrapping presents, shouting, screaming, drooling, playing with new toys ecstatically then discarding them seconds, stuffing cake into their greedy little mouths and smearing food over everything including the counter, their clothes and their mother, the very person trying to feed them. Ungrateful, selfish, and messy. Or is that harsh? I guess they're really not too bad. Maybe cute even, but if this weekend have taught me anything it's that i only want one child. One. Tops. For sure.

3) The trip back. The one on which we stopped at yet more fast food stores and didn't get sniped. Hooray. Oh, and we picked up Rachel's friend Kimbre who is staying with us for a few days. Which gives me something to do when Rachel's at work. Not Kimbre you understand, i mean we'll do stuff together we'll go to the pub. So, um, yes. That was my weekend. Nice.
