Louisiana or Bust!
April 17, 2008 - 4:57 pm PDT
First off I want to say that I don’t eat enough bananas. I’d forgotten how good they are!
Corey and me are leaving Saturday for our trip to Louisiana, and until today I wasn’t very excited. I’m going to be doing all the driving, and it’s quite a trip. Three days of 8-10 hours driving (not including stops). I’m so thankful that my B-12 vitamins have started working because I don’t think I could have done it in my previous condition.
Yesterday and today we’ve really been in overdrive getting our stuff ready to go. Today has been amazingly beautiful outside so we were sitting in the grass while our laundry was going. I had the idea that we should set up our tent and make sure we had everything (and make sure we knew how to set it up) and boy did that bring back memories. I was very lackluster about our one night camp out in Virginia the first night, but setting up the tent has me really excited. I miss being outside, and camping and all that. I used to spend nearly all summer outside as a kid.
Today while I was at work the car was in the shop next door getting a good once over before the trip. I can’t help but be nervous every time I take the car in because I expect them to have something unexpected to tell me. However, this place is good and the car is in good shape and good to go for the trip. The Civic is going to be our new home for 3 days this week. We’re going right now to town so we can vacuum the car and give it a good wash. We almost never do this so it’s probably going to be the cleanest it will be for a long time.
Random thought: It’s really strange seeing the sun out and knowing it’s about 73 degrees and everything is bare, baren, and dead like winter. Yay for spring in New England! Watch out for snow next week, heheh (while I’m away in the south).

April 17th, 2008 @ 6:38 pm PDTIt means the weather (for me) is too much, and the standard of living tends to be better up here. Plus, pay tends to be better.
