Are we truly insane or just "those people"?

I hijacked my husbands Macbook for this post so if something crazy happens it is a total machine error! In roughly 8 hours we will be hitting the road for Louisiana. But we're not the only ones...

No, not that crowd...


This guy.


That's Gustav threatening to rain on our 3 day holiday parade and my one chance to go home for a Bulldog football game this season. So while most folks (i.e. the rest of the state) is getting the heck out of dodge, we're looking forward to some tailgating and a good old fashioned underdog victory. After all, I have to put that cake decorating diploma to good use!



Total time we will be in Louisiana: 28 hours.

Other goings on from this week:
I went to the gym twice. (look at what I had to do) I ate chocolate cake for breakfast twice. I bought cute new "school" shoes. I got cute new blisters. I made 32 trips up/down the stairs at school. I got more cute blisters. I drank 13 coke zeros. I learned 118 student names. I made 5 seating charts. I had Friday morning duty in the cafeteria. I ate 2 chocolate doughnuts. I attended two little league baseball practices. I planned 5 crafty projects. I completed 0 crafty projects. I attended 1 minor league baseball game. I cooked once. I drank a bottle of wine. I bought non-winning lottery tickets. I drank another bottle of wine. I spent my conference period catching up on my blogging. I hit my snooze button 17 times. I survived the first week of school. *edited to add: Watched one bulldog victory! How 'bout them Dawgs?*

Rolling with the homies....

Holy Cow! I just saw my odometer... In the past 4 days I have made a round trip to Athens, TX (360 miles) a round trip to Dallas (380 miles) and a round trip to San Antonio (200 miles). No wonder my head is spinning! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good road trip. In college I remember loading up in a couple of cars and driving to Memphis, or during one particularly ambitious spring break, to Lake Havasu City, AZ. But nearly 1000 miles in one week is just a little too much for me. Most of our time was spent hanging out in the pressbox of whatever stadium Bob was rehearsing in, but we did find this cool abandoned rest stop on the side of I-35.

I had a great time in Dallas, catching up with Colleen (getting the dirt on our old school), and crashing at Monica's house. Good friends and good relaxing time at the pool (and a little BW3s just for the heck of it!) made it worth the drive.

Saturday was spent at the Alamo dome (every time I see that I think of a la mode and I crave pie) watching Bob rehearse for DCI Southwest. We all had our own way of preparing:

Bob worked out his schedule.

Will concentrated on defeating the decepticons.

I read my book.

Showtime!! That's Bob at the bottom watching while SCV takes the field. We had some sweet seats to watch from.

We left after the show and got home around 2 A.M. So nice to have a few days to decompress, and even better because Bob is home for a few days!!! Next up for us: New floors!
