just heading up the road about 4 hours to lafayette for a visit shouldn’t entail a cargo van, should it?  it seems i could have just thrown a change of clothes, some toiletries, and my camera into a bag and lit out at daylight….  ookay, 5 bags later— clothes, hair stuff, make-up;  camera; books;  laptop; purse— it’s almost 10am (11 olivia’s time) and i’m almost ready to leave.  it’s tough being a rockstar without a crew.   it’s a beautiful day for a drive and i can hardly wait to see olivia.
