Another possible title would be--whatever's flowing out of my brain at the moment. This is a complete and total "free write." I'm crazy to publish it, but I probably will.
As much as I despised last week with all it's rain and cold temperatures, I'm so glad it happened last week. This week is--SPRING BREAK!!!!! And on Monday it's sunny and 63 degrees outside. I've been for a good long walk with Larry. We'll go again this evening. I'm doing 16 bajillion loads of laundry in preparation for tomorrow's trip to Texas City. I'll take lots of pictures.
We'll be staying with my dad--checking out the beach and the dike, maybe SpaceCenter Houston, not sure what else. My sister and her husband are coming in on Friday when we were planning to come home, so we'll play all that by ear. It'll just be me and the younger boys. I'm hoping for a good few days--warm and sunny please.
The only problem is Internet withdrawal. My dad doesn't have internet. And there's not an open connection anywhere near him. I guess I could swing by Starbucks once or twice. Would it be worth spending the money on a hotel just to have the internet? Nah...probably not. Probably. Maybe. I'll think about it.
So, for the rest of today, I need to take the car to the car wash and oil change place and go by the bank. I keep waiting for Richard to get home so he can go with me. I absolutely hate getting the oil changed and the car washed by myself. They always treat me like an idiot--which, granted, when it comes to my car, I am--but that's beside the point. Right now though, I'm afraid that Richard's going to come home with an aquarium and fish and he won't be able to go with me. It's only a 600 mile trip. I don't really need to get the oil changed, do I? And what's the point of washing it right before a trip? Yeah, I'm a chicken. I don't like feeling stupid.
Ok, I think I'm done randomly typing stuff. Maybe. Maybe I'll just pluck up the courage to go do what needs to be done with the car. I don't even know where to pull up! ARGH!!!! Eh...maybe I'll just take a nap instead.

Enjoy your internet-free time!! Ours was out from 11am til 6pm today and I felt crazy! I'd lost my connection to the world! Have a good break.
Enjoy your spring break! Our break isn't for another two weeks and by then, I'll be crawling home from seminary.
Have a fun time with the boys and your dad!
I know this is a CRAZY suggestion, but maybe you could, ummm, like, write down.....like a journal, your adventures this week and type them in later!
enjoy your trip.
