Where the Wind Comes Sweepin' Down the Plain

In approximately twelve hours and fifteen minutes, I will be on my way to Ooooookkkklahoma! You know, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain. At a brisk 4am, the UAB Blazer Band will begin our 12 hour trek to the CUSA Women's basketball tournament in Tulsa, OK. How exciting! :/ Contrary to popular belief, I'm pretty excited about this trip. My dear friends Johnetta and Elisha will be with me. It's our LAST experience as members of the pep band. We're pretty good at making lemonade from lemons, so I know we won't let this long drive stand in our way. The weather is supposed to be in the low sixties! I do believe Spring is finally showing its face! I packed several pair of shorts just in case.

Also, I'm excited about this trip because I'll be able to add two new states to my "Buried Life" list: Arkansas and Oklahoma (I need to come up with a clever name for my list). Hmm... I think I'll do that later today. I have plenty of free time because Frank used my car to get to work. I'm sad he'll be gone from 4-9:30, but we got to spend some time together this morning/afternoon. Besides, a little alone time is always good. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." How true. Normally I hate cliche sayings and generalizations, but that one I enjoy... I suppose that's another post all on its own.
