DREAM A LITTLE DREAM.....

Y'all all know about my want to see the wienermobile. Actually, that is misleading. The wienermobile has taunted me SEVERAL times in its sightings as it whizzed by on the highway going about 1 bazillion miles an hour. They can do that ya know...they are aerodynamic. Anyway, I have always wanted to see and have my photo taken with the wienermobile. I found out last week that it would be in Amarillo....a measly 75 miles away from me. When your dream is within 75 miles...you MAKE it happen. The back story is all here at babygator's blog.

I got up at 4:45am that morning. I would like to say it was excitement but it was the sound that the cat was making. If you are a cat owner, you KNOW what sound I am talking about. The sound that wakes you from a deep deep sleep cause you thinking someone or something is barfing a mere 3 inches from your head. Could not go back to sleep. Got up and did some house work. Hit some fantastic garage sales and then went on to meet up with the babygator. We then met up with the parents in Amarillo and had lunch. We teased my mom about her really wanting to see the wienermobile but she assured us she was only there for the catfish.

So we get to the store it is supposed to be at a few minutes before its scheduled arrival time. No wienermobile. We wait......
I get out and look down the road to see if it is coming.

Babygator checks her watch. The wienermobile is LATE. It was supposed to be there at 1:00. At 1:40 it had still not arrived.
I look down the street in the other direction to see if it has had to re-route due to throngs of fans chasing it.

Babygator gets back on the phone with the radio station that assures her that their press release says that it will be there. We told the DJ she was our hero. She thought that we were nuts.

Still waiting. If this were a date, I would know I had been stood up.

Finally it was here!!! The first sighting of the weinermobile!

What a lovely sight.

See, it HAS to be aerodynamic!!

My picture!!! My dream come true!!!!

These last 2 are the pics on the wienermobile website.

Yep! We are officially dorks. This pic will be on my dork card. I know it seems silly but it really was something that I wanted to do and I got to do it. Thank goodness that babygator is a partner to all my silliness. My kids get me. THAT people is a blessing.

I had been keeping a list of the things that I have wanted to do. Life got in the way and the list got pushed to the back of things. I found my list after this weekend and have decided that I am going to print it out and keep it where I can see it all of the time. I took some things off of the list that did not matter anymore. Those things that I thought that I wanted at the time but now, I look back and see I don't. My life changed and so did my list. I also got to mark some things off of the list...things that I have gotten to do!!
