Oh, how I want some of these RIGHT NOW. However, considering they’re an entire day’s worth of calories on my diet plan, I sadly must resist. Good thing I have to travel to the State Fair to have them.

I’m not a State Fair type of person. Too many people, too many temptations food-wise and too expensive. The expense is the main reason I don’t tend to go to the fair: I spend $12 to get into the fair and spend anywhere from $3-8 on the few items I want to eat at the fair. I’m usually there for 2-3 hours. In my mind: not worth it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I will go every few years, and I will most likely go next year when Tim’s not working every day of the fair¹ to do these few things:

1. Mouth Trap cheese curds
2. Fried Green Tomatoes (thanks to Adrienne for introducing me to that delight!)
3. Mini Donuts
4. Pronto Pup
5. Visit the “Miracle of Life” barn to smell the baby calves.

Don’t look at me like that! Growing up on a dairy farm, there’s no better smell to me than a baby calf. It’s hard to describe, but they definitely don’t smell bad.

I could go to the Fair by myself on Friday, but it sounds like that’s one of the busier days. With my current levels of PMS crabbiness, the first time I’d get hit by one of those double wide strollers (with NO FRIGGIN CHILD IN IT), I’d strangle them with one of those plastic bags they hand out to put all your crap in. Then I’d be in jail, and I don’t really want to be in jail.

T-minus two days to vacation. I. CAN’T. WAIT.
