Yankton. Yes, that's really the name.

First of all, I know I haven't written in forever. Shut up.

Here we are!! Yankton, SD.  

To be honest I had to look South Dakota up on a map. Obviously, my elementary school geography was severely lacking. I thought it was one of the rectangle states, but NOOOOOO. South Dakota has a weird dangly thing on one side so it's NOT A RECTANGLE. I wanted to live in a rectangle state. :( Oh, here's where we are. It's in red.

Sad Obama is Sad. 

Which is also what color that the state will be in the electorate. My vote for Obama DOES NOT MATTER HERE. I tried to convince my husband to let me commit voter fraud and early vote in Ohio, where my vote would do the most good. But he has principles or something. Kenneth makes Obama sad.






What was I talking about? OH YA. Yankton, SD. It has come to my attention that Kenneth and I are big city snobs. When we go to Italian restaurants, we expect calamari that does not come in friend onion ring looking things. BUT, there are parts of Yankton that are absolutely charming. The Riverfront park is really nice and there is a bridge over the river that goes right into Nebraska. It's 1.6 miles long, so it's a good jog back and forth. The weekend after we moved into our kick butt apartment was "Riverboat Days." Click on that link if you wanna see some of the attractions, but they include an airshow, an arm wrestling contest, craft show, local colorful talent, fireman wars, and NOTHING TO DO WITH RIVERBOATS AT ALL. Seriously. IF you're going to call something "Riverboat Days" don't you think you should at least... maybe... HAVE A BOAT ON THE RIVER? There were none. Zero.

But it was still fun and I got kettle corn.

Kenneth is now PROFESSOR KENNETH. But I'm not calling him that no matter how much he likes it. He teaches three choirs, music theory, and private lessons. He's liking it a lot! :) I'm looking for a job and had an interview today.. which I looked fabulous for! Because Kenneth took me to JC Penny's (the only department store IN THE TOWN) and I got a new purple skirt. Totally hot. I'll get him to take a picture of me in it, cause I hate mirror pictures almost as much as I hate restaurants that charge you for chips and salsa.


Ok, enough blog.

PS: Google Image search Yankton. It turns out there are MANY TORNADOS HERE. Good thing I live in a basement.
