On Vacation
Yesterday, Alex & I made the trek from Houston to New Orleans for some time with the family… what should have been a five-hour trip extended to a painful 8 hours, thanks to Houston traffic and the oil & gas industry that decided to blow up part of I-10 during the busiest travel time during the calender year.. (okay, highly exaggerated, but in case you didn’t know, I-10 is closed between Lafayette & Baton Rouge, making it a royal pain to get to my parents home on the OTHER side of Baton Rouge…)
I love these trips, especially when I’m having a case of writer’s block… the inspiration comes from everywhere. The scenery, the family, the other drivers, the food, and of course, the kid. Within thirty minutes of waking up this morning, my mother made the comment, “that’ll probably go on the blog…”
Yes, Mother, you’re probably right.
But I feel I owe the electronic world this service; entertainment this great was meant to be shared! Stories to follow… as soon as I find a broadband connection and get off dial-up… I think I just watched another gray hair grow in while waiting for this to post….

That’s why I simply LOVE starbucks! INTERNET. Okay, well maybe not the main reason, but how can I ever admit to the corporate world that I am held hostage by an addictive drink that’s sold for way too much money?
My sons say that I’ll never find a “Mister Right” if he sees my Starbucks bill. So I guess he just won’t see it! Problem solved!
Isn’t this worth a few cups for the advertising. Not that I’m desperate or anything..

We missed our yearly trip to New Orleans this year. I can’t wait to go back and have a post or two.

Of course I’m right–I’m your Mother!
