'Must Wash Hands', WV, Peeling and Music
We are home!
We left yesterday morning!
Thursday night the boys talked about how they'd like to just power through and get home in one shot.
The plan was executed by our family! The C's changed plans, so we didn't caravan back together.
I intend to finish our vacation recap... I've spent the last couple of hours uploading photos and updating those past posts. I need to get my lesson ready for tomorrow, and get everything unpacked... the work never ends!
Today can I just say a a few random things?
First - As we have been traveling, and been in and out of many public restrooms, I have come to wonder about the nature of this phrase 'employees must wash hands'. Sometimes it's on a nice little plaque in the bathroom, sometimes it's on a grimy piece of paper...
Is this sign a reminder for the employees, or to help me feel better that those employees (who have to be reminded to wash their hands) have indeed washed their hands?
Either way, I'm not so reassured.
If that guy making my sandwich has to be reminded to wash his hands after using the bathroom, right before making my sandwich, I'm not so sure about that sandwich. Even though I just saw the sign, that has who knows what stuck to it...
I just feel better eating out of my cooler.
Second - West Virginia is beautiful, up by the Pennsylvania border. Rolling hills, the grass has started turning green. It's pretty. There are barns, animals, it's picturesque.
A little farther south into the state, though, that doesn't seem to be the states claim to fame! No, that would be all of the Adult Superstores! Seriously! It's like Adult Superstore Mecca! Oh, and plenty of 'Exposures' sprinkled in there!
If you forgot a supply, or ran out of whatever it was you bought 10 minutes ago, don't you worry your excited little self... there's another store just 5 miles down the road... for the next 50 miles!
Is there really that much variety that they need that many stores? Maybe I'm just blind to the demand that is out there! That is totally possible!
Third - Shower time, when I start peeling from a recent burn, extends a good 20 minutes! I don't know about you, but I just can't let it go... I have to keep scraping and peeling, and scrubbing until all of that bubbling skin is gone!
Maybe I should bring sandpaper into the shower, give myself a good buffing!
And this time the burn is good enough that the under-layer is still red, so the scraping to get my molting skin off sort of hurts, but it's worth it!
Don't you hate when you sort of peel, then you have multi colored skin? Don't love that!
Fourth - Music... on our way home last night we listened to popular music again... there were a few songs that came on that made me cringe. If I have to hear 'Dark Horse' or 'Happy' or 'All Of Me' again, I may punch someone in the throat! And c'mon... are we really serious about that 'Selfie' song?
Just goes to show I am not a fan of the pop genre. There isn't much there that I enjoy these days. I am an alternative girl, an indie girl. That I can handle. I find that I am not a single song listener. I like to hear the whole album. What's been on my playlist lately besides Christian Rock?
Christina Perry - Have you heard her new album? Love. Every. Song.
I still think Lorde is a lyrical master. She has gained more pop popularity. Such a clever lyricist.
Young The Giant - Have you heard of them? New group (for me) I love...
I can still listen to Paramore all day long.
