A Few Odds and Ends…

With all the hubbub around our recent road trip and starting my new job, I nearly forgot about our upcoming anniversary trip to Chicago. We’re leaving today and will be back Wednesday. Mike pretends it’s to celebrate our two years of marriage, but I know it’s just good timing; we’re going to see a PhishRead the whole post >>

My New Job: Backstreet Boys & Teenage Girls.

1

My new job is pretty much the bomb. Yes, the bomb. Yes, it is 1997. (In which case, it’s da bomb.) Seriously, though, it’s day three and I’m sure I’m going to love it. There’s always a moment of fate when you realize you’re going to love your new job. (Or, you are going toRead the whole post >>

Tomorrow.

0

Tomorrow is my first day as Ms. Lastname. Tomorrow I begin my first job that I get a real salary (as opposed to an hourly or AmeriCorps wage). Tomorrow I begin a new identity as a high school staff member. Tomorrow I begin being mistaken for a high schooler on a regular basis. Tomorrow IRead the whole post >>

Days 10 – 13: A Glorious End.

1

Or, OH EM GEE, I NEVER WANT TO DRIVE AGAIN. (Only kidding. It wasn’t too bad.) Driving consumed most of the past days after LA. We drove 8, 10, 12 hours each day – which makes me wonder how I’m still married. Because, seriously, if being in a two foot radius for most of theRead the whole post >>

Days 8 & 9: Our Weekend in LA.

0

After thorough research to find parks and RV parks and spending the following several days camping and driving through Colorado and Utah’s beautiful mountains and canyons, our time in Las Vegas was a definite change of pace and prepared us for a weekend in the City of Angels. Instead of being hurried and busy, though,Read the whole post >>

Days 6 & 7: Zion and Vegas. Wonderfully Crazy.

2

Zion National Park was one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been – hands down the most gorgeous place I’ve been (aside from Hawaii) in the US. Don’t believe me? Check it out: I feel like this is an ablum cover for a band of sunflowers. Or..maybe I’m just a weird kid. We wereRead the whole post >>

Days 3 – 6: Camping Adventures.

1

I’m quite far behind on blogging due to being in the wilderness for three days (and then in Las Vegas. And now in Los Angeles!). The only connection to technology I have is my phone and the new best 12 volt RV TV we got installed last week. I’m not going to stop, though! I’mRead the whole post >>

The Road: Day 2 – Hippie Havens.

0

I realized yesterday that driving for twelve hours a day is like the opposite of a marathon. It’s like, how long can you handle NOT MOVING AT ALL? How long can you deal with a numb butt and leg muscle atrophy? Thankfully, can play online slots at casinos in Arkansas With EasyMobileCasino.com. Also, we foundRead the whole post >>

The Road: Day 1 – Beyonce and Iowa City.

0

Pretty much sums up Iowa. And Indiana. After a short stop by my family reunion, complete with candy bar pie binge, we dropped my sister off in Cleveland and drove from 2 pm till 1 am, arriving Iowa City. There are not enough Starbucks (or any other coffee, for that matter) in Iowa. Seriously. AreRead the whole post >>
