On the Road Again

I am a little tired of driving.  But it was worth it to learn that I am pretty much in Grad school.  But I am still not going to count my chickens before they hatch.  As Meg said, I am worrying so that I don't have to worry.  

I am in Pennsylvania right now, staying with a much missed Kristen.  Tomorrow we are vegging together, not that I have anything to veg about, but it was what we do and I miss it.  Will do a better update soon.  Sorry that I have been so MIA lately, but nothing has really changed.  This trip will get better attention later.  

No sleep for the wicked

My Dear Navigator and Samitch Maker, (And whoever else, but mostly them)

I can't sleep for whatever reason.  My schedule lately has been staying up until 2 am and sleeping until noon, but tonight, well morning, I can't seem to go to sleep.  And it is because I have been scheming lately.  My brain just cannot let this idea go.  My body is dying for another adventure.  I have been thinking about this since I was in Asheville last week and Aly made an assumed innocent comment.  Little did she know that she was planting a seed of evilness.

I WANT ANOTHER ROAD-TRIP!!!!  And this is how my brain thinks that it will happen.

I know that my wonderful Dad will let us take Bessie/TT/Gert, that will not be a problem, it will be the gas money.  The last trip took a pretty huge penny, and I know that Dad would love to give us that experience again, but I also know that he can't.  So here is my proposal:

START SAVING NOW LADIES!!!

I think that if we actually fully plan this, it can happen.  Ideally it would be nice to come up with, please don't panic over this number, 2,000 between the three of us.  That is 666.67 per person which is like 200 a month if we go in May, which could be manageable right?  Or is Wilkes-by-God county just getting to me?  Is it making me think that the impossible is possible?  Giving me delusions-of-boredom so that I think we can have another adventure?  Because that nice figure above is just for the gas, not the food, truck stop showers or the zillion sweatshirts, just gas.  But if I can approach Dad with a sum that we can give he might give the rest.  We just have to be able to give him something to make it happen again.  He can't foot the whole, or even most, of the bill this time.  I really want this again.  This one will be planned out better, knowing where we need to get to each day and all that jazz.  (Oh, and I will be more lenient with my music selection.  Promise.  No RENT (musicals of any sort actually) or Aquabats.  

I know that I am asking a lot, but come on girls, it was the trip of a lifetime last time, and this one will be even better.  I know that Aly has summer school, and I am not sure about Kris10, but this could be 100 times better.  We could film this one, we now know all the aches and pain of Bessie/TT/Gert and what to do if the sink breaks.  I know to watch the curbs better to not get another flat (But what is road-trip without a flat?).  We could actually do this.  Let me know what ya think.  I will be calling, don't you worry.  Just setting the spark first.  

And seriously, no musicals... except for maybe some Buffy....
