But while I've been living and breathing zombies and putting together my zombie apocalypse plan (those things don't put themselves together, you know,) Mary Jo has been re-reading all the books in the Little House on the Prairie series. Then she texts me every single shocking thing that happens. If you have read the Little House books you know that shocking things happen frequently (well, maybe not frequently, but sometimes.) PS- If you haven't read the Little House Books, we cannot be friends.
So our texts have been real messes of frantic nonsense. (ME: "Let's talk about the woman that has the zombies as pets" MJ: "How come every single time Pa and Ma go to town there is a disaster?") Of course they make total sense to us, but I can't imagine what someone would think if they stumbled upon our "conversation" by mistake.
Then, as if we don't have enough going on with the zombies and the prairie, we both have to WIN Valentine's Day. Yes, I know we are competing against no one. Or everyone. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
They are GUMMY FISHES in FISHBOWL BAGS y'all.

So, with all this winning out of the way, and zombie watching complete, I am pretty exhausted. And maybe a little bit mad at Mary Jo. For introducing me to the zombies, you know. She must have sensed my anger (or perhaps she read the repeated texts I sent her during my marathon Walking Dead watching that said "I hate you.") Whatever. She KNEW. And to make it up to me she sent me MY VERY OWN XANADU CD!!!! I always knew that I loved Xanadu, but I think I might have underestimated the number of times I listened to this, because after 25 years I still know EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. I immediately popped this CD in my car player and soon ELO was all up in my business.
Only a true friend would say "I'm sorry for the zombies" with a homemade card and an 80's soundtrack.

We are sort of exhausting, aren't we? Anyway, happy Valentine's Day!
