getting used to it, the second half.

These past few days in Texas have been pretty awesome! But that's not where I left off.

Jeffersonville, OH. No shopping. Pout.

But we did have an amazing pot roast that night! First crockpot meal was a success. And sadly, I have not gotten a chance to use it again, until right now. I'm cooking up some chicken and rice, and boy, does it smell good! Not that I don't enjoy my microwave meals...the Barilla pasta ones are pretty good. 

There's my pot roast, cooking away. We ate it too fast to stop and take a picture of it. This was the day of following the Lays potato chip truck, and smelling this all day didn't help! And I still haven't ate any chips. We did drive past a Lays factory one day though.

So if you didn't realize, I like food, and the lack of quality stuff is hard for me.

Moving on.

The morning after pot roast, we moved on to Columbus where, believe it or not, they were going to try to set one of these:

Not happening. Didn't happen. Couldn't have happened. So we left, headed on to Minnesota. Cold, freezing, snowy Minnesota. We stopped that night at a truck stop and the next morning, it was 13 degrees outside, and our bananas inside the truck, on the shelf were FROZEN. Yes, it was miserable. Yes, the heater HAS TO GET FIXED. It's possible my nose could have gotten frostbite and fell off, and then Jesse would have to pay for a nose job. Which could be kinda cool...but I don't want to deal with the days before that, when I don't have a nose...so maybe we'll just get it fixed. :)

After a quick drop off in Minnesota, we headed for Waterloo, South Dakota. 

Still snow. Still flat. Kinda boring.

 Apparently the mode of transportation out there in the winter time is snowmobiles, which makes sense considering the piles and piles of snow. There were snowmobile roads on each side of the highways. Thankfully the road was cleared really good, cus I don't think we could have pulled that load with a snowmobile.

Oh, I almost forgot-we drove through this "one-snowmobile" town in Minnesota.
