The Island

The weekend was bittersweet. Nater, you know it's not the same without you there, but we managed to have a pretty fun time. On Friday, Kim and I headed down to Holiday Island to enjoy a weekend in the townhouse of our good friend Janae. We stopped at the best cabin in all the land, Swartzlander-ton-ville. After chatting with two of the coolest people not related to me, and after they informed us that it is tarantula migration season, and after I excused myself because I needed something to wipe my peepee off their lovely sectional, we headed to the townhouse. It's funny because right when we got out of Branson I said to Kim, "I don't know, but that looked like a huge spider on the side of the road. It could've been a leaf, but I'm pretty sure it was a spider." Why God are they necessary?!

We settled into the condo, did spider check, and then Kim fell asleep at 10:00pm. I watched Family Guy and a really crappy J-Lo movie called "Enough." Yeah...I've had enough of your crappy movies, J-Lo. The next morning we checked in for real at the rental place and the lady couldn't get the lock box open to get the key, not to mention we already had a key to get in they just didn't know that, and she was outside kicking the thing and Kim and I were inside laughing. Finally, the lady got the box open after several attempts and handed us the key. We drove down to Eureka Springs and walked from the Train Depot aka Free Parking, and ate at the Oasis. For those unschooled about the Oasis it's Ark-Mex kinda hippie Mexican food, but it's amazing. Kim and I held up our forks and said, "For Janae." Then we walked around a little bit and checked out some of the stores and made fun of old men in their Corvettes with wives that could've given Jan Crouch, clown lady from TBN, a run for her money.

We then watched volume 2 of Kill Bill and Kung Fu Hustle. It was a martial arts weekend, kinda strange that Kim is Asian and we watched Asian type movies...Anyways, then that night we went to Sparky's or whatever and watched a little kid throw a tantrum and his dad tell him, "You sit in that chair or I'll put you in it!" he then proceeded to put him in it and not very gently I might add. Then an older couple made out next to me and I dry heaved a little and inched closer to Kim. After dinner, we went to see Jesus. All in all, it was a pretty great trip. Your abscence was deeply felt, Jane. That's all for now. Bye.
