You may not have even noticed I was gone, thanks to my awesome guest posters, but I was indeed gone.
Two thousand, three hundred and four miles driven, and thirty four hours, fourteen minutes spent in a car. With three boys. Who did not sleep. At all. Even though we brought their pillows.
AHNYWAY. In recent news…
My mouse is broken. Did you know that? My laptop has three USB ports, and a few weeks ago my mouse refused to recognize the one port on the right hand side. No big deal. I moved it to the left side. It had a fight with the first port on the left and was moved up to the last port. They aren’t getting along very well. Half the time they refuse to speak to each other. But worst of all, my right click button no longer works. Have you any idea how often a person right clicks?
A LOT.
Micah figures my mouse broke because I insist on dropping it half a million times a day, but since nothing BAD is EVER my fault, I blame the fish.(Long story.)
AHNYway. Good timing. Micah is gonna buy me a new squeaker for our Ten (!!) Year Anniversary on Thursday. (I’m gonna get him some new Beatin’ sticks.)
So yeah. About that vacation..
It was good.
So good, in fact, that I am about to write a four thousand* and thirty word post about it.
Go grab some coffee first, MMmmk?
(the rest is under the jump)
Horse Shoe Canyon, Just outside of Drumheller, Alberta.

….coming later or some shit, because I’m freaking exhausted and this shit takes a long time.
*So, if a picture is worth a thousand words, do you count a mosaic as one picture, or count the pictures that make up the mosaic itself?

@Blondefabulous – ahh well, all is well on this end of the globe, hubs bought me a mouse (and something else, something EXTRA awesome) today!
Ps. I saw the new girl dunking the mouse in coffee, If I were you, I would fire her!
@Peggy – we had fun. Except for the part where I got a huge ass sunburn that is, as I type, disgusting and peeling!
@Kristi – i had no idea just lived in calgary! you need to TELL ME THESE THINGS!!!
@Summer – “coming back alive” is actually one of our goals on every trip LOL
@phinz – I believe his exact words upon getting off were ” I wish it went around four more times!” and “when can we get back on?”
