To the jenth power ...

I read the books. I watched the show. I unflinchingly wore a sunbonnet to second grade. What started as a childhood obsession has developed into .. well, an adult obsession. I'm going to visit some of the sites depicted in the Little House series of books. Go west, (not-so-) young woman, indeed.

Mail Call

The goodies have begun to arrive! I received packets from both the Laura Ingalls Memorial Society and the South Dakota board of tourism. I'm a happy girl.

Send Me Some Crap
(Live and let Die)

When you are planing a trip to the prairie -
At first, you think .. hey, whenever stuff comes ...
(you once were zen, you once were zen, you once were zen)
But in this South Dakota mindset that I'm nursing -
Impatience gets a bad rap -
Send me my crap!
Send me my crap!
Send me my crap!

Why blow a cork anyway?
It's almost a year away!
I guess I need to feel
Like the whole thing's going to be real -

I used to be very laid back
(at least, I think; at least, I think; at least, I think)
But in my ever-changing plans to see the prairie
My patience cannot endure-
Send my travel brochres!
Travel brochures!
Travel brochures!
Travel brochures!

Days until trip:325
Money saved: $185.00
