Yup, yup~! I'm home, safe and sound now!
The ride back was longer than the ride up to Billings. But, it was alright. Let's see...
Well, it was still thunderstorming something terrible last night when I fell asleep at the hotel around midnight. Then, I woke up at 8:30 this morning. Surprisingly, I wast the only one in my family to sleep soundly all night, while the night before I was the only one to not sleep at all! Lol! But, it was refreshing!
Then, I had a raspberry danish for breakfast. XD
Before leaving town, we stopped at a Cabela's- a GIANT store for camping and outdoors-y supplies.
I hated it.
They flaunted all this stuff on HUNTING!!! I'm 110% against hunting, at least for sport. I have nothing against it if one must hunt to survive, but if it's for sport, you should be shot! >:U
I mean, shooting a deer or a bear, to me, would be like shooting ANGELO, replacing his innards with stuffing, popping marbles in for eyes, and setting him up for the world to see! I can't do that to my friends! >.<
And my parents thought I'd enjoy that store... I sulked and glared the whole 45 minutes we were there. Grr... They don't understand me, my dad had a fit in the store and made a scene when I told him my opinion on the soft-spots to shoot an elk at...
Even when I watched a Turkey get shot with an arrow on a video, I came close to crying! *Feels lame*
Oh well.
After that ordeal, we got out on the road again! :D
And, it rained the whole 7-hour ride home. *sigh* At least it helped keep pollen levels down. So, I was able to breathe all day! ^___^
Then, we took a detour through Philipsburg! IT. WAS. AWESOME~!~!~! *A*
Philipsburg is a tiny, piddly little ghost-mining town WAY out of the way. But, most Montanans know of it and look to visit it all the time! ^_^
I went to Doe's Soda Fountain and had strawberry-cheesecake ice cream! YUM! It was delicious! OH! And, we had lunch at a tiny little cafe across the street. And, with as many different places I've eaten at in all my years, this place topped ALL with their cheeseburger! OMIGAWD! That was THE BEST cheeseburger I've EVER had. EVER~!
Then, we stopped in at THE SWEET PALACE!!! Da, da-da-daaa~! It was... HEAVEN! OMIGAWD! Walls upon walls of sugary, sweet goodness! I bought TONS of caramel for my friends and some butterscotch for Tom when he gets back. Also some caramel for his mom, I wanted to get something for her since her son's gone. Angelo and I might go help her and Tom's grandfather clean out their basement and host a HUGE garage sale for them. With any luck, they'll redo the basement and rent it out. :D Maybe I can move in...? :P I told them to give Niko and Sam dibs.
Then, we hopped next door to the Sapphire Gallery and milled around. I got some quartz crystals and a hematite Panda for Sam. Sam luvs pandas. :3
Then, we continued home, ran into more rain. I played more Pokemon Diamond on my DS (Caught the ever-rare Azelf too! X3 I also caught Dialga a while back... :3) and got back into town around 5:30, 6:00. Then, we picked up my dogs and got home! YAY!
In all, it was a wonderful vacation, save the allergies and depression. But, since Tom called, I've felt great! I guess just knowing he got to France safely is what I needed. ^_^
I plan to hang out with Angelo and perhaps Niko tomorrow. I'm also going to go claim my last paycheck from McDonald's and quit, then go stick it in the bank! ^___^ Then, we're going to go job searching for Angelo. He wants out of there too, and already has some offers. So, we'll go work on those tomorrow.
Well, thanks for reading! I'm going to go chow down on more of my candy and play more Pokemon (hasn't played since March and is suddenly hooked again...).
Thanks again for reading. ^_^ Have a great week, guys! Thanks for all the comments! They've really cheered me up!
I love my Otaku friends! <3
