Road Trip to Seattle (Days 1 & 2)

This last one is for my buddy Steve.

First Stop

First stop on our 1,200 mile road trip to Seattle is... Las Vegas?

Yes, Vegas. We're stopping over there for a few days to see Dex's daddy & hang out before the big push to the PacNW. He's making the drive with us, thank goodness!

We're still working on our route post-Vegas; guess we'll just have to see where the road takes us. As long as it points northward-ish that is. We'll have a few days to figure it out since we're not actually leaving until Monday. I'm kind of looking forward to NOT thinking until then. My brain is utterly FRIED from the past month of moving plans & house selling stress (all while trying to remotely manage the major remodel going on at my house in Seattle).

Maybe I'll take a little break over at Red Rocks. A facial & a pedicure would sure be nice. So would a cold liquor drink & sticking my nose deep into a good book out by the pool. Dex's daddy should let me run away from Mommy Duty for a couple hours, right?

Don't leave me hangin'

Why the hell do I keep checking my iPhone for voice mails, emails, tweets or texts that never come?

It just makes me feel stupid & alone.

I love technology, but I'm starting to think it's keeping me from living my Real Life. It certainly has become a mechanism by which I hide from the Real-World-Out-There. But mostly, I'm so very tired of waiting for the people I love to "reach out and touch me"... [sigh]

Looking forward to my 4-day road trip next week w/ my old Corning friend Esther & the Dexy Girl. I need, need, need to get the hell out of Dodge.

That is all, please carry on with whatever you were doing out there in your real lives. But if you ever do have a few extra minutes, give me a call aye? Being home every night with my little one gets pretty damn lonely sometimes. Just sayin'.
