Spring Break in the Commonwealth

Filed under: blogging, holiday — Badrose at 12:40 am on Tuesday, March 20, 2007

I’m on Spring Break this week - wasn’t going to blog, BUT as I was shutting down my desktop  computer before “hitting the road,” I noticed an e-mail from Scott with some BIG NEWS.  I couldn’t wait a whole week to play with my new colorsfireplace.JPG

As I was saying - I’m at my undisclosed location - here’s a hint:

This is my second year of celebrating Spring Break by staying in my home state.  After September 11th, I got tired of always being the “token white chick” that got “randomly” chosen for extra security screening in airports.  No more commercial flights for badrose.  No more putting my flip flops in a basket - I’ll just drive.  And I’ll probably spend more time vacationing in the commonwealth as a result.  I’ve lived here my entire life and I still have a lot to see and learn about the Mother of Presidents.

Here’s a question (I’m such a corn pone): As I was driving on I64 yesterday, I noticed some new (or maybe I’m blind and never noticed them in the past) crossing guards installed on the exit and entrance ramps to the interstate.  Long red and white striped bars that look like candy canes without the hook.  Were these installed as part of the hurricane evacuation route plan?  If not, why are they there?  To catch bad guys?  Bad girls?

Oh - Speaking of bad girls - Demzilla’s got the Virginia Blog Carnival going in full swing over at VB Dems.  Go on over and give her a big wet sloppy kiss from me, blogger #10.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Tonight!

Eat one . . . staple one. Eat two . . . staple one. Eat one . . . staple one . . . eat two or three while I staple one, etc., etc.

Happy Valentine’s Day tonight because tomorrow I’ll be in a diabetic coma!
