Hellooooo, my friends! After a much too long period of radio silence due to car driving and apartment searching, I am finally coming back to the land of communication!
The good news is that I have an address and my belongings have been delivered from the shipping company. The bad news is the belongings are still in the pod and need to be unpacked and set up. Any volunteers to help with that this weekend?
Here is a rough sketch of my cross country journey, the highlights will be fleshed out with additional details over time and more hilariously in person I am sure, but just get everyone caught up...
- I had to search for two pregnant cows in the cactus infested terrain of Tucson, AZ
- I drive really fast and got my first speeding ticket ever in NM
- Dyer's BBQ in Amarillo, TX, is about as "pit stop" as they come and just as fabulous
- My paternal grandparents are finally getting to the mind space to move out of their home
- Driving in pouring rain for 10 hours is not fun, even if it is from KS to TN
- The Grand Ole Opry is pretty cool
- No major car troubles
- No major fights with traveling companions (I was only concerned about one and his initials are also KD)
- Fried chicken in the south really does taste better
- My new apartment is literally across the street from Target
I miss you all tons and can't wait for trips back home and visitors to the southeast!

I got a speeding ticket last week (Tuesday) as well, heading north to Brea. What a bummer.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and adventurous journey! Which Opry did you go to? The old one or the scarily huge new one?
ReplyDeleteAtlanta rolled out a new program in 1992 aimed at helping drivers not to get speeding tickets... it's called Traffic. I anticipate that the freedom to drive fast is one of the first things you'll miss about California. Sometimes I sit in my car and think fondly about how I used to drive 70+ and people would pass me... not so much in the mid-west.
ReplyDeleteYay for new apartment! Especially across the street from Target.
