Tuscaloosa

We are headed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama tomorrow for the son at home to register for classes and his orientation. He is staying in a dorm. My husband and I are staying in a dorm too. We might get to share a room since we are married. My husband started complaining about being in a dorm room. He was informed the dorm was $30.00/night and a hotel $125.00. That put a lid on that. Yesterday was the day I could register for Family Weekend with football tickets at University of Alabama. Yesterday was the day everyone could buy their season tickets to the games. This event began at 8:00 a.m. central time. I hopped right on with the rest of the Crimson Tide Cult at exactly 9:00 a.m. eastern time. There were so many people online for football tickets that Alabama's computer system went down. I did get my football tickets and hotel tickets before the major crash. I had to register this morning again for Family Weekend. Bad economy be damned in Tuscaloosa! The Crimson Tide followers aren't letting that interfere with their football season. My goal for having a child at University of Alabama is to be able to pronounce and spell Tuscaloosa (without spell check) by the time he graduates.
I am sorry if I confused anyone by the limo statement. Since I founded the Popular Girls and like to complain of fatigue and being puny, I get rides up the mountain. The Popular Girls refer to that as Diane's limo ride. Another car load of Popular Girls was supposed to drive ahead of our car with lights flashing. This would announce my arrival to Brevard. They forgot. They were in too big of a hurry to hit the shops in Brevard.
P.S. Jerry Mathers, the Beaver in Leave To Beaver, is 61 today. That is painful to think about. Almost as painful as the butterfly tattoos I saw Saturday.
