The Sore Butt Driver

I sure thought internet access would be easier to find, but alas...finally able to post.

My first day driving started out rough. I had my car checked in Arizona and some work done on it, so I should have been ready to drive thousands of miles. I got on the road at 5:45am and once I made it to New Mexico the beautiful orange check engine light signaled "Hello!". I checked it out and didn't think my car would blow up, so I drove on. While driving through west Texas, a part on the front of my car that is supposed to hold the windshield on, flew off. After that I got pulled over by a cop. To top it off, I almost hit a deer. Finally after 15 hours of driving, I decided it was time to close out this day...alive.

The rest of the trip has been a little more enjoyable than day one. I guess I got everything out early. Right? I stayed with my friend, husband, and baby in Texas. Then I went to New Orleans and saw some family. It was such a cool place, but I slept in his apartment where there were handfuls of flying cockroaches. Ahhh. Yuck! I did eat some jambalaya and beniets.

Georgia was lush and green and devoid of cockroach infestations. Did some paperwork in North Carolina. Up to Connecticut. Visited my cousin and 3 adorable kids in upstate New York. I am now in Lake Placid with good old Grandma Kennedy. We have had a great time traveling up here. She is getting old which is hard to watch, but I am grateful for this time with her.

I am nervous and excited and nervous about starting work next Monday. I saw the condo I will be staying in and it should be good for a few months. I will get some pictures up asap.
