10/4/2011 My Life's Ambition: Attending the Banner Elk Woolly Worm Festival

I'm having a bit of anxiety over the fact that
if I don't get a full time teaching job,
I'll never be able
to fulfill my life's ambition:
Attending the Banner Elk North Carolina
Woolly Worm Festival.
Just think about it!
All those festive people
racing woolly worms up pieces of string!
I found out about the festival while
subbing in a classroom last year
when a social studies specialist
came in the room and showed a slide show about it.
I became obsessed with going to that festival.
If I had any credit on my card,
I'd be on my way to SeaTac right this minute!
I found a woolly worm yesterday, while picking blackberries.
It was nearly all black,
which predicts a severe winter.
I'd love a snowy winter if I
didn't hate being cold and wearing clothes.
I have the best idea for a costume to wear to
the festival too.
Full length black and yellow feather boas
in circles to give me that fluffy sought-after
petable woolly worm look
that I, for one, find irresistible!
