I do hope I'm not getting too grown up and boring. Today I was getting seriously worried about that, wondering why in the world I'm not getting more fired up about hunting, because 5 years ago I would be going crazy getting my guns all cleaned up, getting all my gear ready for the Big Day when muzzleloader season opens. This year I'm not even sure when it is. This really worries me. Not only am I getting overly grown up, I'm getting wimpy! Not Good! I am going to have to at least shoot one deer this year to restore my crippled sense of manliness.

But tonight I was a little boy again. My folks took me out for a late birthday dinner, and afterwards we went driving around Waynesboro aimlessly with no real purpose, just looking for trouble like bored teenagers. We were aimlessly bumbling around in the Walmart parking lot when I saw it. Valley Pets! "LET'S GO TO THE PET STORE!" I yelled. Oh, it was great! They were meauring their biggest python when we walked in--nearly 5 ft! Pretty cool! So many wicked awesome little creatures in a pet store, chameleons, WEIRD lizards, snakes, Rats (why anyone would want a stupid rat, I don't know), $.99 white mice, $999 shaggy white dog, really wild fish, and a huge tropical bird named Bishop. Lots of fun in the pet store! Out on the road again, until we spotted our favorite department store--Big Lots! Stuff is really cheap, really tacky, but a great place to wonder around just for fun. They've got some nifty toys. Eric and I were drooling over the RC cars, and he walked out with a Super Cheapo Radio Controlled truck that flips over when you run into things. We brought it home and had the BEST time running it into every wall we could find. GREAT FUN!

I'm supposed to have children's class Sunday night. Any ideas?
