Fair, Allergies, and Weather, Oh My!

I've been pretty dang lax in my blogging attempts as of late. I want to apologize for that. But, here's another post.

Let me first give the obligatory statement:

Have a great time at the fair!

Now that that sentiment is out of the way, let me continue about the fair.

It's fair time! I am beyond excited. However, I'm not such a big fan of the fair. It's an oxymoron, isn't it? I'm just excited for the food and getting to see friends that I haven't in some time. It's a social outing. I need a social outing. I need to work off some boredom.

I'll be wandering about out there; if you see me (and recognize me), feel free to say hello or stop me. I'll be slinking about not only as myself, but as the reporter as well, so I'd love to talk with our readers if the chance arises. You'll be seeing articles on the main website from me as well, news and opinion and probably some commentary. (I make it a point to eat something that is oddly deep-fried each year. I'll write a story afterwards. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get this year...)

Second obligatory statement:

I feel terrible for every single person who has allergies. I hope you feel better.

I never had a problem with allergies. Now, now, I'm being stalked by something that seems to me to be allergies. Itchy nose. Tight throat. Itchy, watery eyes. Gah. I also seem to be maybe (?) becoming lactose intolerant? I don't know about that, really. First it was feeling icky after hot chocolate. Then it was the ice cream blizzards. Then milkshakes. Now lattes? I don't know. Don't mean to complain. Orange milkshakes from McDonalds are absolutely amazing, though. Don't get me wrong.

Third obligatory statement:

... Well, it's not exactly obligatory as it is a question, but... anyone else disturbed by the weather?

I don't like the cold. I don't like anything near cold. These low seventies are driving me crazy. I think I have poor circulation or something; fingers and toe are always cold, cold, cold. Like I've had them in an ice box. So, I'm irritated. I like a bit of hot weather. It's going to be a little cold for me at the fair this year. I think it's the first time I'll have to wear a jacket? (I'm always cold. Laugh it up. Yeah, if you want to find me at the fair, I'll be wearing a leather jacket. Haha.) Thankfully, though, it seems like the rain is going to stay away, so that's good.

So, you guys enjoy the fair. Grab some food, see some friends, listen to Foreigner. Wave to the reporters trying to take photos. (Yeah, Bob lent me a camera. I can take my own pictures now! -so happy-)

Last but not least, I can say that I'm really excited about the fair because this is the first year that the fair doesn't mean having to go back to school. Thank you school, for the graduation in June. :P
