  It turns out that I'm a total liar. I didn't have an Excel class Thursday and Friday. I never intended on visiting Abby this weekend. Instead, my dad and I have been plotting a surprise birthday visit to Iowa for my mom. I took the train home on Thursday, and I'm about to leave pretty soon.
It was a really good weekend filled with fart spray, shoe sales and a dog with a stinky ear. I slept a lot and ate a lot of cake (Hy-Vee, I love you). But I miss my boyfriend and my mouse (in that order), so it's time to go home. Tomorrow I'll tell you about the near-rumble on the train here. I'm hoping something even more exciting will happen on the way home, so sit tight.
