So M and I went to the Fair last night and I survived.  It was everything I imagined, which means not a whole lot.  It was less crowded then I expected it to be.  The carnies were quite normal looking as was most of the crowd.  The original plan had been to meet up with friends but they were unable to make it.  Oh well M and I had a good time anyway.  Mostly I guess the fair is about food when you get to be our age.  First we stopped at Al’s for some good ol’ fashioned french fries.  Not that impressed.  Next we hit the local church stand to grab a ham biscuit.  Good.  Next it was on to something fried and I had my mind set on Oreos.  I mean they have to be good right.  RIGHT!  They were everything I expected and more.  Hot, sweet batter on the outside.  Warm and gooey on the inside.  It was delicious.  My mouth is currently watering thinking about the savory little morsels.  As we headed out, because we are old, I managed to get a carmel apple, also very tasty and some cotton candy.

M’s theory on rides, is anything that can be put up in a day cannot be safe.  And well I have to say I agree.  I did also manage to get a few good pics from the fair.  I did not however get a prize.  Seems M isn’t the game playin’ prize winner 🙁  Oh well.  It would be one more thing I don’t need and ultimately have no use for.

I’ve now lived in NC for 2 years and have yet to make it to the State Fair. When I first moved here the thought of going to the fair was a joke. There was no way in hell I was going to THE FAIR! But this year, well this year it’s different. I’ve decided that M has to take me. The prospect of everything deep fried has piqued my interest. Deep fried Oreos, twinkies, coke, and butter! I can’t resist, okay the butter maybe. But watch out Fried Oreos here I come.

So what makes this year different? What makes me want to go? I think the difference this year has to do with the company I am keeping. It’s good company to say the least. The thought of going to some place as cheesy as the state fair has a whole new appeal. Because I know that I can be me and that makes me extremely happy. I feel super lucky to have M in my life. He really is the yin to my yang.

The date has been set and tomorrow night I will be at the NC State Fair. This is gonna be fun. And hey maybe M will win me a prize 😉
