Hello all
Yesterday was the derby! I think we all know that the derby is the best day of the year if you're a person from Kentucky or if you're a person with any sense at all. Because Alex and I are both of those kinds of person we watched the derby together over the internet. And because we watched the derby together over the internet we also sang My Old Kentucky Home together loudly and incorrectly over the internet:
Alex: OH THE SUN
Alex: GAYYYYYY
Margo: THE CORN TOP"S RIGHT AND THE MEADOW"S IN BLOOM
Margo: WHILE THE BIRDS MAKE MUSIC ALL DAY
Margo: RACIST RACIST RACIST
Alex: LOLOL
Margo: BLAH BLAH
Margo: THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT ON MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
Alex: GOODNIGHT
Margo: MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME FAR AWAY
Margo: :'(
Alex: WEEP NO MORE TODAY
Margo: WE WILL SING ONE SONG FOR THE OLD KENTUCKY HOME
Alex: FAR AWAYYYYYYY
Because I am indeed far away from My Old Kentucky Home, singing the song put me on an internet crying jag.
Both of the horses we told each other we were rooting for but did not actually bet money on lost but my horse (Mission Impazzable) did better (#9) than Alex's horse (American Lion, #11) so ha! Won that.
Finally I would like to share a t-shirt with you that Alex shared with me that says a lot about the derby experience:
