A Peck of Gold

Titled "Saturday Morning", or "Why Am I Not Sleeping?"

Ugggghhh... I have what appears to be a hang-over this morning, despite a glaring absense of alcohol last night. I 'spose it was the class I went to at the gym yesterday morning, and a late night, combined with a full week of work--- but my body is rebelling at the idea of sudden movement. And daylight.

I am driving up to my mom's this morning, after a quick stop for some live crawfish at a fishmarket down here. My company for the drive will hopefully not stink or die along the way. And hopefully they won't scuttle too much either. That kind of freaks me out.

After the traditional Mother's Day Crawfish Boil (hey, doesn't everybody do that??), I am hitting the town with an old friend of mine, Catherine. If you live in Vicksburg and you plan on doing something tonight, scoot over, cause we'll be there too. It's one big happy party in old VB.

On a side note, we went to a little shindig last night... okay, I guess let's call it a kegger. Surprisingly, it was my first and only kegger. It was all the kids from P's classes celebrating the end of a huge project and the semester. It was fun to meet all the people I've heard so many stories about, and everybody was really nice and funny. I guess the downside was when one of the girls called me "MA'AM". Oh yeah. Talk about sucking the life right out of me. This chick was probably 21. Of course, I gave her a really hard time about it. I told her I was going to go home and cry about it. She felt pretty bad..... SCORE!! Now, if that's not mature, I don't know what is.

Well, I must be away. Things to do, people to see, crawfish to eat.

Happy Mother's Day! Especially to my own.
