Kim’s new apartment!
but binky, how can you buy a horse when you ARE a horse?
a horse is a horse, of course, of course.
p.s. shhhhh, i snuck that in there because if it’s on the list, it must get done. but it’s a secret from kim FOR NOW. (except for how she noticed it immediately last night. damn sharp eyes, that girl.)
I don’t know how we could have forgotten the most important destination of our trip- the Missouri state fair and its SWINE BARN.
mwah-ha-ha! swine, you will be mine!
oo ooo! there’s a bengal tiger show! let’s buy me one of those too. then when we buy the horse, it’ll be like we’re feeding the tiger in the backseat.
the swine barn! my home! mother?
oh crap michele looks like someone bought your horse already. buy me a pig.
a porker. porcine.
