For a few months I'd been wanting so badly to see a good friend who lives in Kansas. It happened like this last Tuesday at 3:30pm while I was working: "I want to visit Annie, but how when I don't have time off??? I'll be done sanding these up today and we could spray tomor---WAIT!! The doors aren't even coming in this week! AHHH!!!! I can take the rest of this week off and go visit Annie and go to Brandi's wedding!!!!" And I continued to scream excitedly every few minutes for the next 5 hours until I was exhausted :-P lol. True story.
Mom and I packed up and left for KS next morn. (wasn't hard convincing Dad, I know all the right things to say. All true things, but also the right way :-P ) Oh, and I don't think it was because of my pure excitement, but I woke up at 4am that morning and couldn't sleep again. The alarm went off at 6am, but slept another half hour. Shmanda got up too and made an awesome breakfast of avocado, bacon, cheese toasted sandwiches! Mmm so good! She's real.
I was so excited on the way there that not even half way through Montana I was telling Mom that I'd like to just drive straight through to KS so I took an hour and a half nap while she drove to Sheridan, MT. Then I drove through to Denver and Mom drove another two hours in which I didn't sleep at all. Oi. We got into SM at 8:30am local time. 22hr drive. Ya know, it was actually providential that I got excited enough to say that I wanted to drive all the way through instead of staying in Casper, Wyoming. There was a HUGE snowstorm in Denver the next day! Lucky!
It was about the same scenario on the way back, except a few hours out of Denver going somewhere around 80 or 90 mph, some little racoon decided to run in front of me...I made the funniest scream. Lol. but yeah...there was some 'coon hair stuck in my wheel when I got home.... Some deer decided to walk down the road just at dawn so that the red road gave them camoflauge. Yeah, threshold breaking! lol.
When I got home, I went to bed at 2:30pm...I slept so deeply! Wow. ...and I woke up about 15 hours later at 6am! lol. So good!
I'll post about my stay in SM later :)
