My biggest Texas fear (which must be pretty big as "everything is bigger in Texas") is that we'll get all the way through our time here and I'll never get to go to San Antonio. As we approach the potential week that we'll be hearing definitively about our orders, this fear is closing in on me even more than before. Our time is running out. I don't think I'll ever opt to visit Texas again. I haven't been thoroughly impressed with the state. I mean, there are some cool things here and there, but really I am disappointed and irritated with the obnoxious "pro-Texas" attitude that is... well, everywhere, and with the lack of anything in between point A and point B, too. I mean, I never realized that a drive could be quite so boring till I attempted to go from San Angelo to ANYWHERE. All the time I spent planning our sightseeing here in Texas centered around San Antonio. We'd HAVE to do the Riverwalk, the River Cruise, the Alamo, the Schlitterbahn, Sea World... We'd stay at the Hyatt where the river runs through the lobby. We'd eat puffy tacos...

So far I've done none of the above. We've had other Texas opportunities throughout our time here - El Paso, Abilene, Houston, Austin, Fredericksburg, and a few other little cities nobody would recognize the names to - but nothing yet that takes us to San Antonio. I'd been holding out for a "long" weekend to do our San Antonio touristing... But at this point I'd settle for anything. I just can't bear the thought of leaving Texas without having my San Antonio experience. I'm frustrated and sad about it.

Stupid Texas.
