Thinking

Only sometimes

Saturday, February 14, 2009

So I had two Pear Martinis with dinner this evening and am, as my man says, inebriated. Yeah, it’s kinda pitiful, doesn’t take much. Anyway, I was just randomly thinking that it might be nice to go through life a little inebriated more often. If there was a way to do it without becoming an alcoholic or by popping valium or something similar I might look into it.

I mean, it’s just so nice to not be sweating the small stuff right now. For example, here I am, on my blog, informing the entire internet that I’ve just pulled some nasty bloody boogers out of my nose, and I DO NOT CARE what anyone thinks about it. It’s really kind of awesome, and I think I just figured out why people voluntarily participate in reality shows. BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL DRUNK.

Carefree Highway

I heard this song on a country station on the trip I made down to Texas before my roadtrip officially began and, as usual, was instantly reminded of road trips I had taken as a kid with my family. Dad listened to Gordon Lightfoot, Roger Whittaker, Crystal Gayle, The Judds, The Moody Blues, Andy Gibb, The Bee Gees, and Abba, among others.

Inevitably, while reminiscing, I always end up at the same memory – that one time we were coming back from a camping trip, cruising along in heavy traffic, and my dad, unable to avoid it without hitting another vehicle, hit and killed a baby deer. My sister Rachel, around four years old at the time, collapsed sobbing in grief because “Daddy killed Bambi!”

Good ideas don’t JUST fall out of the shower head

Thursday, April 24, 2008

They also come to me as I’m sitting on the toilet…I just prefer not to think of how.

Last night I was randomly thinking about how I would LOVE to just go on a huge road trip and wondered “Didn’t I read a snippet somewhere about another blogger doing that?” After a very short search I rediscovered Bossy and got all caught up on her Excellent Road Trip. Color me green.

So this morning as I was doing my thing I started thinking about it again and I thought, “You know what would be really awesome? You know what would make doing such a huge trip so much easier? Is if someone made a website where you could list all the places you wanted to visit, in order, and then the website spit out a map for you. You choose whether you want to take the most direct route, or a route with interesting scenery, places of historical significance, or unique shopping opportunites. The map would tell you how long those routes would take you to get where you’re going. You could get info and feedback from other travelers on the kinds of places you’re looking to visit. That would be the most awesome website EVER. If only I had me some technical ability to make something like that! I’d be RICH!”

Do you know what else would be totally awesome? Is if I came up with ideas like this BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE.
