The Higher Power of Sorta Lucky
After my October trip to Kentucky and California set world's records for lost luggage, my husband bought me this great necklace which I now faithfully wear on trips. I also am now a carry-on girl. After my bag failed to arrived in Birmingham and I had to face 1500 middle school kids without make-up and having to use my follicly-challenged husband's styling tools (read: one 99 cent hairbrush), I have made a Scarlett O'Hara pledge: I will never check bags again!
Despite lost luggage, I am indeed one lucky girl. I have been:
treated royally by the library queens of Bowling Green,
feted at the Humboldt County Author's Festival,
greeted by an entire school wearing construction paper Magic Kerchiefs,
learned why Missouri school kids blast their standardized writing tests out of the water,
and had a middle school cafeteria dedicate part of their menu to Hattie.
Since I am too much a techno-dweeb to figure out how to imbed more than one photo in a blog entry (anyone out there willing to enlighten me?), brief blog entries with photos of above mentioned events to follow.
2007 has been one "lucky" year for me -- and I certainly don't need the necklace to prove it.
But I'm glad I have it.
