According to my children, I'm acting very weird today.. If you must know, I am feeling a little cranky, and weird... I've been losing things, and saying silly things, as well as laughing a little too much. I'm being weird today. It's Friday, and I am enjoying this new schedule a little too much, I guess. No, I haven't been drinking; hardly a drop of alcohol ever passes my lips.
I guess part of the reason I'm feeling a little GOOFY is because of being in front of the computer last night and this morning, stressing over the Greyhound/Amtrack websites. No, I'm not planning on "running away" anytime soon, although, my husband and I have thought about it more than a few times this month (ha ha ha)... The reason why I'm looking up faresat these places is for my daughter. We are going to Disneyland (yay!) at the end of this month, and Lizzy wants to bring a friend. Why? Well, the thought of being in Disneyland along with her two teenage brothers, another teenage boy cousin (all of them 17 years of age and under), along with her 4 year old brother, does not excite her. Sure, I'll be there, as well as Aunt Becky, but we "older" girls don't count. She needs one of her girlfriends to be around so she can have "fun". Well, I don't blame her. Lizzy always seems to be cursed for being the ONLY girl. So, I'm letting her meet us there.
Now, Lizzy and her friend, Julia have always been a tad starstruck, and I think they are pretty excited about this trip. We will be stopping at my sister-in-law's house, and she happens to live in Venice, California. The closest Greyhound station to Venice, is the Hollywood Station. I'm a bit nervous about this... Should I have cause? What kind of people take the Greyhound to Hollywood, California? I'm visualizing Marilyn Monroe types, wanna be comedians, and bums. It sounds pretty interesting. (I hope they bring their camera.) I'm almost envious of these two girls, but I'm already stressing over who they may meet at the station once they get there. Hmm.. I will be leaving en route to L.A. as soon as I drop them off at the station, and we figured that I would be there only minutes after she arrives at 8 a.m. Does this sound crazy to you?
OH well, as promised, I've included some more pictures from last Sunday. More later.. I found the cord to my camera that hooks to the computer, and I'm going a little picture crazy...
I would love to share the pictures of me wearing by signature white bow on my head, but my father filmed us on his Super 8 movie camera, and I don't have photos of myself carrying the sign. If I had the picture I would love to share it... I have some old pictures, but currently my scanner keeps telling me that is "warming up" and then it gives me a message that it's "failed to scan".

I still have not been to either Disney World or Disney Land. The trip sounds like a lot of fun.

popping over to say congrats on being a guest editor's pick this week
have fun at Disneyland; we used to live 20 minutes from it until we moved 45 minutes away from it 2 months ago; just were there 2 weeks ago when a dear friend came visiting; I'm glad Lizzy will be bringing a friend; I'm sure they will have a great time hanging together rather than being with boys or moms, LOL
I was only in Hollywood one time in the 43 years I've lived off and on in Southern California and it was not the Hollywood I thought it would be from movies, etc. kind of not glamorous at all; but maybe it changed from 1980 and is a little more spruced up
have fun though!
betty
Your kids are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW. I just marvel over the capes and dresses in that parade.....just downright magical. I wish i had been there. I love parades. Give Lizzy some Mace if you are worried about the weirdo's at that bus station. Sounds like FUN to me!
