I'm here...
...and it was a long, tiring journey, to say the least. OH! And, no thanks to driving long hours driving, my brand new tat that was healing marvelously is now irritated and broke out. It'll have to be fixed when I go to Florida visit my sister and friends, one of whom is also a tattooist and inked my first tattoo. I'm super sad, but I have hopes it will heal again. My brother is heavily tatted, and he's offered up some advice that I'll run by my tattooist friend.
Anyhoo...we stopped over in Oklahoma for a couple of days to visit with another very good friend whose 10-year-old daughter is best friends with my 10-year-old daughter. It was good to relax and just veg out in front of the telly. I caught up on Heroes and watched The Lost Room, which was super freaky but awesome. It was nice to have some one to watch these shows with who likes to pause and chit chat about it as we watch. It's amazing we got through the shows and movies we did, and did some Christmas shopping too -- all that and I got to sleep till noon. We also rented The Lady in the Water (super awesome) and The Devil Wears Prada (I love Meryl Streep).
Alex and I left Victorville on the 17th, stopped in Kingman AZ for a few hours to visit a high school friend of mine who has long been convinced Alex should have been hers because they both have red hair. Mwahahahahah. After getting back on the I-40, we made it to Gallup NM before my ass needed to wake up. We checked into Quality Inn (nice room) then had dinner next door at The Cracker Barrel. Yummy.
We woke up on the 18th with a dusting of snow on the car, were on the road by 7:30, and got to Oklahoma by 8 pm. Our "hostess" had to work the next day while her kids had school, so Alex and I were left alone with the chihuahua from hell. Chihuahuas...not just ankle-biters anymore. When they got home, we did some shopping, rented movies, and relaxed the rest of the night and all the next day.
This morning Alex and I had help from my friends oldest boy (he's 26) loading our car, and we were on the road by 8:30, made all of two stops, once for gas, and once for potty break and food. We made it to the Memphis area and my folks' house by 4:30. It's good to be home.
Off to wait for my sweetie pie (who told me one of my presents, the schmuck -- ahhh, ya gotta love him) to come home. I hope you all have Happy Holidays and Merry Winter Solstice from Tennessee!
