AND I'M OFF....

yeppers folks, i am off to lafayette, louisiana for a grant writing school (rock on higher education that i don't have to pay for ;).

i'm going with one of my best buddies from work and we are both looking forward to the class. he's such a great buddy that he already told me that he would take me to some scrapbooking stores in the area...lol.

well today was mardi gras. i stayed on the couch watching things like lifetime movies and judge joe brown/judy. gotta love the day off for mardi gras.

so as soon as the cars get the heck off the streets, tom will be on his way to pick me up so we can head off.

we'll get back late saturday night, then i'll sleep and then early saturday morning, me and michael are getting up and heading over to new orleans for the day. that is what i told him i wanted to do for my birthday. i wanna go over with my camera (aka my lover) and take some awesome pictures, eat some beignets, do a lil shopping, and just hang out with my hubby. i love when me and the hubby get to get away just the two of us.

then sunday, we are going to have my bday dinner (greta, if you are reading, i know i told you monday, but it feels easier if we do it sunday....we're going to grill out).

then monday its my bday!!!! i'm still like a five year old. i look forward to the day all year long. its my day. a day i don't have to share with anyone. i get to do what i want, eat what i want, not do chores, its pure bliss.

alright, i just remembered some things i still have to pack.

big hugs and happy mardi gras to all ya'll :)
