So I was driving to Madison this afternoon to visit my grreat friend Annie for her birthday, and in front of me, there was a big horse trailer. So, I read a little closer, and it said "Guinness World Records: Tallest Living Horse", so I was instantly curious. I guess with the horse at 2,500 lbs the trailer was going a little slow, so I decided to pass it. As I came up alongside it, it read "Goliath, World's Tallest Living Horse". I was so excited, I called my roommate. And now, the picture. I kid you not - I saw this horse's trailer on I-90 today!!

Can you believe it?! :)
So last night I ordered four books online for $24.44. The real retail price should have been $56.80. God bless half.com. Anyway, I only set out to buy "The New Faithful" and "St. Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox by G.K. Chesterton" (I love him), but ended up picking up "Mere Christianity" and "The World's First Love" on account of the tremendous prices. So, after I entered my credit card number and sent it in, I realized I had just ordered 4 books...4 books!...and got really excited. I walked around the house saying "My Dominican heart is smiling". Good thing everyone was in bed. ;) I'm uber-excited. They should be in within the next week. Woot!!
So this weekend is vocation camp, and I cannot wait. I am going to pick up three of the sisters at the airport on Saturday, and then the camp starts on Sunday. We're going to have the Nashville and Ann Arbor Dominicans, plus the IHMs from Wichita, the IHMs from Nigeria, and the Panhandle Franciscans. It should be TREMENDOUS. I cannot wait!!
Well, that's all I've got for now - it's been a crazy week and I can't even begin to think of all the randomness that has taken place - it's also very difficult for me to find time to update this, so be patient with me!
Pax et veritas!
I heart Goliath.
