At 6:30 AM tomorrow morning, I will pile into a bus with 30 excited teenagers. I will have my backpack equipped with my laptop, a few choice DVDs, my game controller for my 500 videgames installed on the hard-drive (Sega Genesis - all games, Nintendo - all games, Super Nintendo - all games) I'll have my MP3 player with 500 songs on it, noise canceling headphones (required equipment for noisy school bus trips) and a good sci fi book. Oh...and sunglasses and a hat.

We will head to on a three hour trip to Albuquerque, stopping in Cuba for food and snacks. We have a huge cooler full of caffiene-laced pop, two cases of famous Amos cookies, three cases of assorted potato chips, 75 sack lunches from Subway, and five cases of bottled water.

We will drive to the Albuquerque Convention Center and disembark to attend the 2006 School-to-World conference. The kids and I, if last year is any indication, will don firemen's uniforms, see attack dogs in action, fly aircraft simulators, examine shuttle mock-ups, perform CPR, wear helmets and heft automatic weapons with grenade launchers, ride in an ambulance, get huge bags full of free pencils, pens, rulers, buttons, flashing pins, flashlights, and pamphlets and drive heavy cinstruction equipment. (Under close supervison of course.)

Then we'll eat lunch in the park, feed the squirrels, slide on the slides, swing on the swings, and generally run around crazy-like.

Then I will board the bus again, and travel to the Albuquerque Explora Science Museum. There, the kids and I will experience and completely hands-on museum. We'll play with lasers, and glow in the dark panels. We'll ride bicycles across a tightrope two stories above the ground. We'll make soap bubbles big enough to put a person inside, and we'll do that. We'll play in water, run around in a completely mirrored room, ride an elevator so big it has three couches and a coffee table, make all kinds of electrical circuits, watch roses get frozen solid at -270 degrees kelvin, and play with mechanical devices of amazing complexity and variety. We'll even spin a model of Jupiter really fast to make the clouds fly.

Then, I'll travel home, exhausted sunburned, full of junk food....but very very happy.

Life is short...don't waste a single minute.

Did I mention that I get paid to do this? Man, I love my job.

Not a bunch...

Just hang out at home tonight & probably try a new recipe. I LOVE to cook!

Tomorrow morning, my daughter & I have an appointment to get our eyebrows done.

Not sure after that. I'm not much of a planner. I like to be spontaneous. Probably spoil the grandkids!

Sunday, I always go over to my step-dad's & do my laundry & spoil the grandkids.

I'd really like to start going to church. I just moved to my neighborhood last August, so I'm not real familiar with the churches in the area. But my problem is I want to find a church with similar beliefs as I have. It seems (at least this has been my experience) when you "visit" a church, they hord on you to start going there. I'd like to visit different ones & kinda "try them on for fit", so to speak.
