Sleigh bells ring,. are ya listenin'?

So, have just printed off my confirmation reservation info for trip to see folks... am hitching from MS to TX and then renting a car to head west to my eventual destination. Should be there Christmas day. Hurray!! I will be traveling light (as hitchhikers tend to do) with nary but a toothbrush, some flash drives and my laptop...and a change of clothes or two. The laptop is to stay in touch with others... barely. No signal in Parental Unitland, unfortunately. But what I really want it for is to show them all the pics I have been taking of the MS Gulf Coast area. Hence the flash drives :-) Will be seeing a few others in my limited time there, so will be wonderful trip.

Have just started 3rd term at school... here is where the REAL homework starts, it seems. ARGH. Have made Christmas card sets to sell but been so busy with school & work & homework that I haven't really been out & about much to vend :-( Promoted to HBA/GM manager at work which has changed up my schedule somewhat (can't change too much since school takes up 4 days) and so am not available to do the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings any more. On a personal level, I like the 9-5:30pm hours bc I am home while still daylight... even went on a date last week! Wow. Let me just say, not much of a social life when you school 8-1:30pm then work 2-10pm....sigh

Speaking of work... I have to be there at 1pm today so it is time to start my 1st homework essay (I have 2 total, all due Monday morning).

Season's Greetings to you all !!

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
