The Cow Jumped over the Jicama
Drivers on the road at 6:45am are few and far between. However, the few that are out there are CRAZY. He was in a red and grey primered pickup and he cut across several lanes, completely ignoring the stop sign and the blaring of my horn as I nearly collided with his tailgate. Here’s the kicker: He was dressed as a COW. I kid you not, I almost got into a car accident with a COW. The Cow didn’t even look at me, but his black and white spots and bell necklace were very clear in the beams of my headlights in the early morning darkness. My coffee cup flew all over my shift stick and I sat there for a minute bewildered with just one thought on my mind:
“What an asshole Cow!”
I’m heading to Dallas today. Pray for my safe arrival and fewer incidences with Cows.
Baby Update: 32 Weeks (55 days till this thing comes out of me.)
By now, your baby weighs 4 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she’ll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.
*Side note*- What the HELL is a jicama????*EDIT UPDATE*
I’m in Dallas. If you are an engineer in the metroplex area, let me offend you for a second. WTF were you THINKING when you designed these roadways?
I ran a toll road because I couldn’t get through the traffic to the cash side of it all. There are six lanes. The cash lane is on the far right. I was on the far left. NO ONE would let me through. Being in a police fleet vehicle, I’m hoping I wasn’t susceptible to pay the toll. If so, I’m probably fired. The power of driving the fleet vehicle goes to my head. I wanted to turn on the lights and sirens. But again, I’d probably be fired.

“What the HELL is a jicama????”
If you find out, let me know? o__O
manda be careful and when you get back we all need to get together again!!!
The Jicama root (hee-kah-mah) is a mexican root vegetable like a potato or turnip. It is actually shaped more like a Turnip, but brown in color like a potato. The grocery stores carry them in the produce department around where the onions and potatoes are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%ADcama I’ll show you one the next time we go shopping together. Then you will know how big your little stewie girl is.
I have never heard of a jicama! Weird. But the cow was funny in an annoying sort of way. You should move to Pennsylvania. Our cows usually stay in the pastures and we don’t let them drive.
