I've never been excited about a parade before...in...my...life..., but with George Lucas as the Grand Marshall of the parade and the Star Wars floats and stuff, this one is worth watching!! I'm actually excited and have gotten up this morning early just to watch it!! I've even been anticipating this for several days now ~ I can't believe how excited I am really...

I feel like I should have felt when I was a child about parades...

When you are a child, you are supposed to get all excited with flutterby's in your stomach over the prospect of going to see, or seeing a parade as big as the Rose Parade on TV even, a parade. They are supposed to be really thrilling to see all the beautiful floats with the bands playing and the performers, etc. I never got that out of parades. I just saw them as a bunch of people walking by or trucks decorated... whoopteedoo... (I know, some of you are thinking that's out of character for me as I always get excited about EVERYTHING, right? Well, not parades; hey, I can't stay excited about everything ALL the time!)

This year will be different. With Star Wars as the overriding main theme, it's going to be grand indeed! I even saw a picture of one of the Star Wars floats being put together and got excited at that!! I will be like most kids! I do have flutterbys! I AM excited in the anticipation and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ok, it's less than an hour now, so I'm going to go get ready!!

Have fun everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



EDIT: I found a YouTube clip of the Star Wars Extravaganza piece of the parade! Yea!
