Road Trip

Tomorrow morning I am leaving on a little road trip. I'm going to visit my friend in the Seattle area. I will be going alone...no kids, no hubby. I'm fairly nervous. Not that I can't take care of myself. I know, lock the doors, yada yada yada. I can kick butt if someone tries to be stupid and attack me. That's not what I'm nervous about. I'm nervous because I'm going far away from my home (comparatively) and I'm worried that my car will break down. I know, not a great way to start my trip, thinking negative things like that.

*deep breaths, calm thoughts*

Much better.

Since I used to live in the Seattle area, I would think I might know my way around, but it has been over 8 years since I lived there. So my husband suggested that I map it. This morning we mapped out my route on the mapping /gps program on my laptop. Then we mapped out an alternate route. I'm certainly glad to have this program, but I think a paper map will suffice.

Today I will be spending the day packing and getting things together for my trip....but I already have "that feeling." You know that feeling- the one where you know you're forgetting something?? I'm having that feeling. I will have that feeling all day. It won't be until I get half way there that I remembered something essential. And yes, I've made a checklist.

Once I get over there to my friend's house, I will fall over with pure exhaustion because I will be tense and nervous the entire way over - I don't drive much, you see. Going into town is a "big trip" for me. haha! It will take three days to recuperate and guess what? I'll be driving home again! HAHA!

Awww...let me load up muy ipod with music and take plenty of chocolate, I should be fine. :D

See ya on the flip side!
