i am finally in tucson, arizona with access to the internet! hot damn. let me fill you in a little ...
my mom & i left on monday the 19th and got down to marshall, IL. then the next day we left and after being on the road for five hours i realized i'd accidentally left my cell phone on the bed. i called the motel and they acted like they didn't have it. bastards. anyway, tuesday we stopped in branson, MO. shiroh & i stayed until thursday morning because she loves it there and i felt i should appease her. we got to amarillo, TX thursday night and friday we stopped at white sands, NM which was amazing. i have pictures and will SOON be uploading them. finally, we pulled into grandpa's at 1pm on saturday afternoon. whew!
since being here, i have been on a kiddie rollercoaster. the temps are averaging around 103 degrees. the monsoon season (yes, a desert with a monsoon season!) just started last wednesday so that should be exciting. my granddad took me to the amvets post where he belongs and by 10am i had two bud lights and registered for the lady's auxillary. um, okay. a bull snake slithered alongside the perimeter of my house and i took a picture to prove it! the nastiest guy in the world creeped me right the fuck out at the local thrift store, where i can never go to again. i am back on weight watchers unofficially and have lost 2 pounds since monday. i maxed out a credit card.
i miss my friends and wonder how/when i'll make more. but i'm really grateful to be around my gramps again because he's old and the only grandparent i have right now and i want to be around him as much as possible. i am sad that i didn't/couldn't see the following people before i left - little keri, karrie smith, robbie!!!, ben, leslie!!!, william & kenyatta (and baby), tim!!!, and others. i planned my move poorly and was running around like a headless chicken at the end. so if you are on this list, come down to arizona and live it up or else i will definitely see you when i visit michigan again (i'm still thinking thanksgiving).
my mom is trying to make me start applying for jobs officially on the 10th. i'm like, why did i save money for this if i'm going to start working so soon? just kidding - i know i need a job. it's not like i'll have anything else to do with my time. oh, i forgot to mention ... i went up to the front of the park and played euchre from 1-3pm today and made some nice old-folk friends. yeah, i should get started on that job search. i'm kind of living out the movie In Her Shoes. look it up.
more to come. miss all you playas!!! |
