I just went to Lowe's and Walmart via Ted Drewe's. Got an "All Shook Up" concrete (bananas and peanut butter cups, blended with vanilla custard).

It takes roughly 14 hours to drive from here to Galveston (maybe a little longer). Conveniently for me, Little Rock is on the way, and it takes around 6 hours to get there from here. I'll be spending the night with my sister and her family; they live just outside Little Rock. It's convenient, almost halfway to my final destination, and I get to play with my two nieces.

EXCELLENT travel plan!

Thanks! I thought so.

Today is my sweet baby niece's first birthday. I think there needs another party when I get there on Sunday.

I'm spending an extra day here! I'll drive home on Friday.

My boss keeps hinting at a trip to Germany this year. We go every four years but I skipped last visit. Sure would enjoy getting out of the home office for a week to Germany!

No, not a hard decision, actually. I have no problems being a working mom from 9-5, in fact, I enjoy it. But, I only get about 3 waking hours with FutureDA each weekday (1 in the morning, 2 at night), so I am quite adamant about not letting any work encroach on that time.

Plus, I'm pretty certain there will be other travel opportunities ahead.

Where in Germany? Can you sneak Kelly over with you next time? ;)

Eeep!

Three hours seems like such a short time! I understand, and respect, not letting work encroach.

The trade show is always in Dusseldorf where they have a fantastic "city" of trade show halls. I've never seen anything quite like it before. And seriously, those Germans know how to throw a tradeshow. Though I admit it's a bit odd when somebody walks up to your booth with a stein of beer smoking a cigarette. I would love for Kelly to fly out at the end of the trip, assuming I go, but I don't think that's in the budget this year. We're saving up for honeymoon later this year!

I am STUNNED that a meatball and anchovy embezzler is charged somewhere other than the Varnish Zone, though maybe society here hasn't advanced to that august level.

I'm still picking paint from underneath my fingernails. I have an interesting color scheme going on.

another day of sorting and shredding. Movers coming tomorrow!

Does anyone know who "The Playcaller" is that writes articles for "Over Yonder"? I'm curious and can't seem to find an answer anywhere "Over Yonder".

FWIW, Hess was mad at Corch and Gugs for their comments during the Duke game, and just waited till the next game to toss them.

At least that's what I heard at church last night from a lady whose son is a wuffie and has season tix. Not sure where his tix are, so I can't confirm or deny.

I believe he is a former ref, hence, his extensive knowledge about refs and rules and calls made or not made. I think they explained his background years ago when he first started writing for them.

I finally reserved a storage space in Galveston. It's in a climate-controlled building, and the spaces start at 12 ft above ground floor. I wanted to minimize the risk of losing my stuff in a flood.

Every time I've gotten a storage unit here, that is the first thing I look at...where does the unit sit in relation to the street. If it's at or below street level, it makes no sense to store anything there.

Exactly. Strangely, this is the only multi-level storage facility in Galveston.

I had my last handbell choir and choir practices this evening, so I didn't get to watch the basketball game live. Just finished watching on DVR. Good game for us. It's always nice to see Andre Dawkins lighting it up from the outside.

I hope you got lots of love and hugs from your church friends. I know they will miss you bunches!

That is correct. He is a former ref.
