Trippin'

I am a big believer in just knowing things. Know what I mean? If you do, you do, if you don't, you don't. So, today when the same freakin' number kept showing up on my caller ID and I finally decided to pick it up and see what in the hell someone in Leesburg, VA might want at 2 in the afternoon. I KNEW that explaining to the woman that said, "buenas tardes" like we were old friends, that she had the wrong number was not how I wanted to spend my afternoon.

What's a girl to do? Well, first you unplug the bleepin' phone. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out, folks. And then you think about how you'd rather spend your "time off" from the rat race of a real job. So, I planned my next week. I'm going to go to three states I've never been before. If you know me, you know I'd love to go cross country but right now the timing's not right. I've already been crossing off states individually for a while now and I've mapped out a way to get three more next week. I also planned how I could see another five before the end of this year but that's a story for another day.

I'll be leaving Monday afternoon. I already have plans Monday morning so I can't leave earlier than that. Here's the link for my trip if you want to follow along at home...

I have booked places to stay and started to figure out what I want to see in each place and everything in between. It's still a work in progress so any suggestions, please pass them along. I plan on bringing my laptop and checking out places with wifi. I am already searching for coffee shops where I can search the internet, get my caffeine fix, and read my latest book. Although, I'm reading a Carl Hiaasen novel that has made me laugh out loud more than once so it'll either help me make new friends or brand me a weirdo.

I have some great road trip music - I'm loving my new Colbie Caillat - Coco is the name of the album if you'd like to buy it for yourself. The whole thing is great. Of course, will be bringing the ipod. I will just have to swing by the grocery before I go and grab some swedish fish and bottled water and I'll be all set.
