one room, one person


(do you see the moon?)

I travel with strangers and smashed bugs.
and bird poop on the back of my car thanks to that stupid branch in the parking lot
and creepers that stare and some that even wave.

2000+some miles is a lot. 35 hours of cruise control and big trucks
here comes my 99' put-put weighted down with who knows what
WORD - i made itokay, at least to the eastern time zone.
thanks to GPS, a caring dad, and enduring wheels

So much for missing the Wasatch Mtns.
I like the east and it's green rolling hills
I forgot how beautiful the calm rivers are.

(there are people who live and work in a town like this)

To pass the boredom so I didn't fall asleep I...
clipped my nails

painted my toe nails
listened to a book on tape
forced myself to sing even when i didn't want to
texted everyone
called a couple of people
watched the map on the GPS
thought about pictures i could take if i stopped
day dreamed
ate what little food i had
videoed

disclaimer: i did the unsafe things safely if that's believable;
again - better than falling asleep

VIDEOS TO COME
I only had time to upload short ones

what kept me awake? talking to myself
and chocolate fiber bars.

hahaha you crack me up girl!!

way to rock that drive. Seriously, that's a long time by yourself. The longest I've done it by myself is maybe 14 or 15 hours? And that was brutal. Anyway, Utah is going to miss you!
