Wow! I have four followers! Don't get me wrong, I really don't think they are "followers," just people who love me and put their profiles up for me to see that someone really is listening. Yeah, right. It doesn't matter anyway -- I'm enough for me to have to listen to me. And believe me, I can go on and on. And on.

I've almost spent all of my money just getting ready to go on this trip! You know how it is ... you need a new pair of walking shoes (cuz, boy, are we gonna be walkin'!), a new pair of shorts (or three), shaving cream (cuz your son always takes yours), razors, Preparation H Medicated Wipes (oh, you don't use them? You really should try 'em!), make up, mascara, and so on and so forth. I had my hair done, I had my nails done, and tomorrow, I get my brows (and more) waxed. All to get ready to meet complete strangers, who really don't give a rat's tail about me or what I look like.

Though if I remember from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a rat's tail is pretty darn important to rats. Ah, to be an adult for just a little while and then return to the kingdom of childhood. Oh wait, I'm still not an adult! Whooohooo!

Watched the final episode of Saving Grace last night. Grace dies. Guess I really wasn't surprised -- after all it was the final episode. But I'll bet they could make a really good series from it... Grace could be the angel WITH Earl. I think she kinda had the hots for him at the end.

Way off topic, huh?

So, tried to get our tickets changed to stay another night in New Orleans. We'll only be there one full day and two nights, and I really want to stay longer. It would have been possible, but I figured it's already planned, it would cost another night's stay in a hotel, AND I'll be going back to New Orleans next summer anyway!!

That's right, next year the planned trip for the UC Davis History Project (http://historyproject.ucdavis.edu/) is to New Orleans! I'm so excited about teaching fourth grade and California history. I really love American history, but I really love history in general, so California history it is. And going west is so important to the country's history overall. Look at all the people who suffered just to get here (to CA)! Take my ex-husband for instance. He was from the east coast and came here for me! Boy, did he suffer!

And on that note...
