There's no place like...well, anywhere but Sallisaw.

Recently I came into a pair of red high heels. I have never owned anything like them: they are magic. I put them on and instantly I felt like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I felt confident, sexy, rockstar-like; but most of all I felt like I could click my heels together and instantly be anywhere but here. Here being Sallisaw, OK. I guess Oklahoma is alright if you are Carrie Underwood...or a meth-head, but it's just not for normal people.
As I walked down the 2 mile long main street of this Godforsaken town in my magnificent heels, all I could think about was clicking them together 3 times and wishing to GET OUT OF HERE!
This town reminds me of a King or Koontz novel. You can smell the stench of meth in the air and see the sunken, souless eyes of the users as they run from doctor to doctor begging for painkillers. It's kind of a mix between a B rated horror movie and Deliverance. Take a wrong turn down a country road and your runnin' for your life as a hillbilly peppers your car with a shotgun trying to protect his bathtub lab. It's only fair that he protect his property though, I mean, not only does he cook his meth in there, but his 5 children are going to need a bath for Sunday church (snicker).
No wonder I want so badly to close my eyes and click those beautiful heels..............

Retard Reading

I am mortified. I have to take Developmental Reading just to get 6 credits this semester to get my student loans back. ARGH! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! It was the only class they has that I had not mad an A in and that wasn't remedial and that financial aid would pay for. This is so degrading. I am not even going to buy a book. I am just going to show up. I am going to be stuck in a class with a bunch of 18 years ols who can't spell their own name or 45 year old crack heads who have forgotten it all. All of the other 2nd 8 week classes avaliable I had already made an A in, or were remedial, so financial aid wouldn't pay for it. YA I can't wait for Friday!!! My first Retard Reading class!!! I am so phucking excited! ha. I hate to have to put Bubba back in daycare again. At least it's only for 2 hours on Wednesday and Friday. Wish me luck!!!
