cows, frogs & bobs

i made a new friend today. we haven't actually met, but according to his license plate his name is bob. bob drives a porshe and is very good at weaving in and out of traffic and was very fun to follow. i followed bob for a good 2 or 3 hours (it was a long drive, i lost track of time). bob may have thought i was a crazy stalker trying to get him for his money, but bob was too old for me. maybe not for my mom...hmmm. too bad i don't remember the rest of bob's license plate number.
anyway, i lost bob because we got off the 10 and took some side highways to avoid phoenix. the side highways were fun because there were lots of straight aways where you could see ahead for miles...meaning you could see if there were cops or not waiting up ahead to pull you over. didn't see any. can you say 90 + miles per hour? i saw 90 + mph on my digital speedometer for a good 15-20 minutes until my mom looked over and saw how fast i was going and yelled "giulia! watch your speed! you already have 2 speeding tickets!" and i said "mom! there is nothing around...you could see if there was a cop from 3 miles away!"...thats when it happened! i hit my breaks (i didn't have to slam on them because nothing was directly in front of me)...we were in the middle of nowhere arizona, absolutely NOTHING around and there was a cow! just randomly standing on the side of the highway. a very old, wrinkly looking, brown and white cow. there were no other cows around, no fences, no farms. poor cow was probably lonely. i considered turning around to go take pictures of this cow but by the time i made up my mind we were a couple miles from the cow and i just really wanted to get to prescott.
so we continue driving through the middle of nowhere, then we get to this little town called skull valley. it was sort of creepy. there was a cemetery and my cell phone had absolutely no service. eek. right outside of skull valley was a very large rock painted like a frog. i did stop to take pictures of that. maybe i will put one up later. it was pretty rad.
seven and a half hours later we finally get to prescott. it is freezing here! it's so cold it makes my nose run and then the snot freezes and makes my nose hurt. wonderful, isn't it?
now i am very sleepy since i only slept 4 hours last night and drove the whole 7.5 hours.
so i bid you farewell...goodnight.


p.s. i totally got harry potter scene it as one of my christmas presents! who wants to play?! :)
