I promised pictures from the exhibit, but wouldn’t you know they wouldn’t let us film it, even without a flash. And would they sell us pictures of the artifacts?! Noooo! Only in Arkansas. And what’s with people who stroll through an exhibit in slow-mo listening to the audio guide and then stopping to read every single description posted beside the artifacts?! Hellooo! Headphones?

Here’s me with Shayla Kersten and Staci, another member of our DSRA group.

And here’s the red-headed hellion with her little one. The trick to getting more quickly through an exhibit is to train the baby to screech “Quiet! Quiet!”. People just make way. It’s like magic.

Ugh! I really, really need to get back on my diet, but there’s still some chocolate ice cream in the freezer.

And the shopping sack? I had to buy one of those pop-up books on Egyptology and a figurine of Bastet the cat. Oh! And a coffee mug. I collect them.
