Well ok I've never really had much money, but this month it looks like it's gonna be a tough one. I finally made a plan of attack on the credit card, but then what happened? The car needed to be fixed and I had to pull it out. Grrr. Oh well, it's better than being stuck on the side of the road and having to pay for mr. towtruck man and senor new engine.
So I'm going to visit my grandmother in Atlanta this weekend. I'm doing project on her where I'm going to tape record, video record, and transcribe all her stories from her life, an oral history if you will. I'm getting all prepared for the event with multiple techinical items, tape recorder, microphone, transcriber, digital camera, 8 mm camcorder, and me, the ultimate techinical item (well maybe not). I think this should be an interesting documentary/book when it's done. This lady had an interesting life; her dad was the governor of Georgia in the late '20's. He was friends with FDR, so my grandmother has all this amazing stories of her, as a little girl, meeting historical figures like FDR, Linbergh, Edison, etc. etc. Hopefully this weekend will be productive and we won't veer off topic too much. One thing is for sure, we will be watching the Super Bowl together. I told her last night that I'd like to watch it and her response was, "Well of course we're gonna watch it" like it had been on her agenda since they announed when and where it would be held this year. I then started picturing her all dolled up on Eagles attire and chugging a beer with a half eaten chicken wing in her other hand. Will this happen? Probably not. She quite the southern belle, but who knows, maybe she's a crazed NFL fan and I just don't know.
