OUCH!!!

So I thought I'd take a yoga class - you know, limber up a little maybe destress some...
I must not be doing it right because I actually ended up in the ER Saturday night because I couldn't move. Everything hurt. Could sit, stand, lay down, walk - NOTHING!!! Finally after two shots for pain and a nice assortment of prescription drugs I'm able to get around. Doc told me to sit as little as possible - dang near impossible to do while driving.

The Frito Pie Incident

Thanks to Chris Austin shooting his big mouth off on the radio yesterday, I received several inquiries regarding the "Frito Pie Incident."

As pretty much everyone knows by now, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE carnival food! Funnel cakes, corn dogs, candy apples, anything on a stick...

So at the Burleson County Fair Wednesday night I decided to indulge my cravings and try a little bit of everything. Oh man IT WAS GREAT!!! A little bit of this...a lot of that...a pinch of this...a sampling of that. It wasnt until I was awakened by a sharp pain in my stomach at around 1:30 the next morning that I realized my stomach did not think it was such a great idea afterall.

To make a long story short - let's just say a frito pie tastes much better going down than coming out your nose : )

I Was Robbed...of my fair queen title.

I was robbed...of my fair queen title...AGAIN!

Despite a downpour right in the middle of festivities - the Burleson County Fair Little Miss and Fair Queen Competitions went off without a hitch.

Hope Heisler Savage stole the Little Miss title and our hearts with her version of Taylor Swift's You Belong with Me. There were 15 cuties in all up for the Little Miss title - dolled up from head to toe. My favorite part of the competition was when contestants sang their favorite songs. We heard everything from "This Little Light of Mine" to "The Climb." Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus better watch out!

This year's Burleson County Fair Queen was also crowned last night in Caldwell. Dana Doonan, representative from the Cooks Point 4-H Club, took home this year's crown. Dana, along with three other contestants, were judged on poise, appearance, and a welcome speech as well as a question/answer portion of the contest. Dana was also recognized as the top ticket seller for this year's Burleson County Fair.

Congratulations to all the contestants. You were amazing!

It's going to be a big night in Caldwell this Wednesday as the Burleson Country Fair awards is Little Miss and Queen titles to two lucky contestants. Guess who is going to be one of the renowned judges bestowing the coveted crowns on their little heads...go ahead...guess...

What do you mean Roy Gene?!

It's me! Brandie Alexander! I always wanted to be a fair queen so I guess this is the next best thing. Besides, they promised me unlimited funnel cake and corn dogs. Now that's a sweet deal. Eat your heart out Roger and Roy!
