Okay y’all it’s THURSDAY! So, in preparation for the weekend, I will reminisce with you guys about last weekend, and the chaos that is the State Fair of Texas. As some of you may know, it is State Fair time here in Texas; and since I live close to the fair grounds, Marshall (my boyfriend) and I decided to go this past Sunday. Fair warning, going on the weekend isn’t ideal. It was insanely packed. I mean we weren’t able to walk without getting run over by a baby stroller (and yes, that happened to both of us at least twice). BUT don’t let that fool you, we had a great time!!!

Before getting there, Marsh decided he HAD to get a “bacon queso funnel cake burger”. This burger won an award for “Best Taste—Savory”, and the award for “most creative”. The best thing about the burger (if you can really even call it that) is that it’s served at a pizza booth!! I swear we walked around the fair twice looking for this thing, before I finally asked somewhere to find it; yep, at the pizza booth, that’s where. So we are standing in line waiting to get this thing, and the person in front of us said “oh we’ve been waiting here for thirty minutes, and this isn’t the line where you pick it up,” then he proceeds to point to another line that is a mile long, and that’s not an exaggeration. I start mentally preparing myself to wait in both of these monstrous lines so Marshall can get this “burger”. Thank gosh he decided that he really didn’t want to wait over an hour for the burger. Once we get out of the line and begin to walk around again, Marshall says, “ Carol look, they have a taco salad”. Marshall no. We are at the State Fair. The capital of fried food, and I am getting a corn dog come hell or high water, NOT a taco salad *insert eye roll*. Let me tell y’all, that corndog was SO worth breaking my diet. I did let Marshall have a bite even after his horrendous salad suggestion, and he liked it almost as much as I did!

After getting me a corndog, we had to find Marsh something to eat, he was getting a little hangrey, given he had been fasting in preparation for that burger. So he decided to try “Texas Fajita Fries”, which was a finalist for the “Big Tex” award. It was deep fried fajitas in a pretzel-style cone. Marsh thought it was pretty delicious, and was definitely happy he didn’t have to wait in a long line.

Once we were both full on fried food and ice cream, Marshall suggested that we play a game (I don’t do fair rides). You would think after two plus years of dating, Marsh would know that we can NOT do anything competitive. One of my major downfalls is I am super competitive. Marshall and I cannot do any kind of sporting activity together because I refuse to lose, and when I win, I rub it in (mostly because I only let us do things I’m good at). I swear, the kid has been trying to get me to go bowling for years. I refuse to go, partly because I hate feet and sharing shoes really grosses me out, but mostly because I am a terrible bowler, and refuse to let him win… I know I am terrible, but I digress. So when we started looking at games, I knew that this would end badly for one of us (probably him). Hahaha!!! We approached the basketball game. It looks like a normal basketball hoop, but the rim is actually a lot smaller than you think it is. Once we started discussing rather or not we should play a round, one of the games next to us made a noise that sounded like a gunshot, and I was done. No more of that for me. It was actually just a dart popping a balloon, but it saved us from playing the game (AKA saved Marshall from losing!).

After the game fiasco, we decided it was time to head home. On our walk out, we found the best thing of the day: FROZEN SWEET TEA. I am really sad I didn’t take a picture of this frozen goodness. I am not joking y’all, this was the best thing I had ALL day. It was like an icee and a big glass of chic-fil-a sweet tea, all in one! This sweet treat was a perfect way to end the day. The State Fair was definitely worth the trip. Even after all the trouble, it was still a great time! The last day for you guys to check out the fried food frenzy is this Sunday October 22nd!
