One Month From Now... Part Dos

Well. It's been a while. I had the thought to check one of my best friend's blogs and she updated, so I thought - sheesh, why not do the same! I read my last post and was thinking -yikes- depressing!

One month from now... I will be 6 days away from being with Chris in Knoxville. I will have a job (I've had a few great offers and have 2 more interviews this week that I am absolutely thrilled about to say the least). I have torn up I-26 and I-40 to see Chris so many times I've lost count. Let me tell you the top 5 things I've learned about traveling long distances alone:

Numero Uno - Book on CD is a MUST. Cracker Barrell provides a cheap alternative. You can rent books on CD for $3.50 a week. You buy the whole book up front but then they return the amount minus the $3.50 weekly.

Numero Dos - I support Pilot gas stations for two reasons... 1.) cheap gas 2.) pepsi freeze icees

Numero Tres - I do not support Amoco gas stations for many reasons... dirty bathrooms, sketchy check-out clerks, high gas prices, snacks for purchase are all nearly expired, etc.

Numero Tres - When appropriate, travel in yoga pants/capris and t-shirt. I think myself everytime because I feel so relaxed and comfy. No silly jeans button poking into my tummy (maybe I should get the clue?) or tight clingy button up shirt causing sweaty pits.

Numero Quatro - Drive 5 mph over the speed limit. You won't get pulled and you can enjoy the scenery a little bit more then my accostomed 10 mph over the speed limit... bad, I know.

Numero Cinco - Do subscribe to satelite radio. There are some great old scary radio shows that have the corny organ that are really entertaining! Do not blindly scroll thru the channels because there are some naughty channels that I plan on writing a letter to Sirius about.

All is well. I have the sweetest and kindest friends I'm staying with right now. Chris is doing great in school. He is Sir Principal Cellist in a group of very kind musicians. We've had some great adventures... toured a really cool cave with a body of water the size of a football field, floated down a cold lazy river in the mountains, experienced Boomsday next to the Henley Street bridge on Labor Day.

I'll keep you posted. Hopefully more frequently. And maybe with pictures... whenever I find my camera. Grrrrrrr. That is the only thing we managed to misplace in the move. Otherwise, not a single damaged/lost item. Go figure, we haven't lost our minds yet either! Woo! Woo!
