Here we go again........

Road Trip!!!


Well, I am pretty excited about this trip. It should be a wonderful day for a drive....a cool, crisp, Fall day. And, the foliage should be magnificent right about now. It should be very picturesque with all of the mountains and rolling hills along the way. We'll make a quick stop at Starbuck's for our Chai lattes with energy shots and then hit the road. This weekend, we will be visiting a university where my niece Alexa happens to be attending graduate school. We'll get to see her and her apartment. I just can't wait! Plus...on Saturday, Vince will drive down from his university (which is about 1 3/4 hours from there)! I'm in desperate need of a Vince fix (it's going on one month since I've seen him!). But, the most important thing is that Toni is excited about this University's fashion program. I have to admit...I'm anxious to hear all about it myself (maybe they'll take me on as their project next semester...do a fashion make over for my next 50 years!) Not only that...the University has been through a transformation over the past few years with a lot of new buildings and residence halls. I've heard rave reviews about the place so we're all looking forward to the tours as well. I have to be honest here--the thought of having Toni on a campus where her "big" cousin Alexa--who she idolizes--is attending school and having her that close to Vince's campus--is a wonderful thought. Wouldn't it be great to hop in the car---take a drive to see Toni and Alexa and then drive a little further to see Vince? That's, of course, if they want to see us....

As soon as everything is over mid-day on Saturday, we'll be able to spend the rest of the day with Alexa, her boyfriend and Vince. There's a few college watering holes friends have told me about that we'll probably check out and then there's another popular one that I have been to a few times over the past 30 years. A dear friend of mine who used to teach on that campus gave me a list of restaurants we might want to check out. From where I'm sitting right now....it looks like I'll be smiling quite a bit.
Now, it's time to go and see what I am going to wear....

Oh Judy, sounds like you will have a great day for sure. I think I will try to get my hubby to take a drive to the Oregon coast this weekend for some fall leaves and other sights. Enjoy your trip.

Sounds like Toni has several really good options. This one sure sounds like a winner! Have a great weekend!

Wait till you hear this one.
I was out with a few friends last night and of course weight came up.
So I told them about you and how you lost so much weight by getting your lap band.
My friend Janice thought I said LAP DANCE. So she said "what, you have a friend who lost a ton of weight by lap dancing?"
And my friend to her left who also didn't hear what I said, said "Who lost weight by lap dancing."
I ended up screaming "No one lost weight by lap dancing. I said Lap Band!"
Too funny.
Although now that I think about it, lap dancing would have been much more fun!
