Well, if there is one thing I've learned in the last few days it's that ::: when plans don't go your way, and you just roll with it - it can be very fun and quite stress free!
As the little stresses were building up, it became obvious that going to KY was not a good idea - or even really a possible idea. I felt pretty heart broken about it - looking forward to seeing my KY family very much, but in the end, I think kept my sanity intact by deciding not to go.
I got to spend some extra time with the Close's, which was wonderful. I got to go Trick-or-Treating with them. It was really fun. I don't really remember the last time I went Trick-or-Treating... it's possible I'd have to venture way back to Westwood memories, and for various reasons I've sort of blocked that part of my life out! It was cute to see people excited to have Trick-or-Treaters come by. Another thing I haven't really experienced. We've always lived in houses on busy streets, and I've usually had a place to be on Halloween night. We went to one house, and a young couple greeted us. I chose to imagine they were a young married couple, without children for now, and they'd been preparing for their first Trick-or-Treaters. It got me very excited about next Halloween. I don't know where Tyler and I will live, or if we will choose to stay at home on Halloween night but for a little second, I liked to picture us, in our tiny place, decoration provided by Target, set up and ready to hand out candy. Tyler'd get excited for every super hero that headed to our door - who are we kidding, so would I! Of course, I'd gush over the princess', fairies and all of that - but, I've got a soft spot for Super Heroes.
Next thing I know I'm in South Hill, VA. I finally left Augusta around 3pm. Last minute errands, and a relaxing trip to Target under my belt, I was ready. I discovered a new trick to making the time fly whilst driving. I'd decided to buy AudioBooks for the road trip, but I wasn't really sure what to download. Without having really thought about it, I was surprised at how long the recordings were. Of course, it made sense, it just hadn't occurred to me. So, first on the list was finding some shorter books to listen to. After some browsing, I realized that I needed something light hearted - ok, enough delaying... I bought, and feel in love with "sTori Telling" by Tori Spelling. I've loved her since 90210. But, after Inn Love (her reality TV show with her husband), she became a celeb girl crush for sure! The hours FLEW by as I listen to her tell me about her childhood, 90210 days, 1st wedding at the manor, falling in love with Dean, 2nd wedding in Fiji (for just the two of them), and stories about her crazy mother. Very entertaining.
I was planning on driving until I made it to Richmond, but between never knowing when or if my trunk was going to pop open and a phone that was about to die, I decided it was time to call it a night. Found a cute, safe and cheap room at a Comfort Inn. Free Wi-Fi of course! It's going to be a long trip and early morning- and while I feel like I could write all night, I should really be getting to bed. Who knows, maybe tomorrow my lunch stop will include a blogging break.
I've been really enjoying writing. I always knew that I would but I guess I just never felt I really had the time too. As we all know, in life, you usually have to make time for the things you want.
