>I’m not really wigging out, but yesterday, mid-day, when I was about to set out on the search for a wedding dress alone, I got out to my car, thought, “No freakin’ way,” and went back inside to grab my toiletries, two shirts and a pair of wrinkled jeans from a forgotten clothes basket, threw them in a bag and drove to Marshall. I needed to be somewhere of comfort. The cool thing was that I got here just in time to help m Mom write a press release announcing that she is withdrawing her name from the 2008 election ballot, and at the end of 2008, she is going to resign as Tax Assessor Collector of Harrison County. Then I went with her to the Democratic Party Chairman’s office to make the announcement. It was pretty cool! She’s worked for the county for 42 years! I was in her belly when she was working there back in the sixties. That’s pretty cool, huh?

Anyway, she seems really relieved and at peace with her decision, and that’s the secret of life!

Today, she went to work early to get some important stuff done, and later, we are going on the road to girlihood to look for wedding dresses, do some local gift registry stuff and just see what happens. I am in a local coffee shop having a mocha and being connected to the world at large via the World Wide Web. It’s 23 degrees here, and it feels like about 2.

Gonna go now. Stay tuned.
