I'm Happy Being Stationary

I made it! After spending the entire weekend driving, I'm finally here! The first day of driving was a piece of cake. Sexy Lady and I hopped in the car (wherever we could find room), popped in book on cd and didn't look back (not by choice on my part, my things were blocking my view out of the rear window). That night we stayed at a cousin's house in Kentucky. Sidenote: All of the highways there start with KY-... and they never failed to make me laugh. We woke up at 8 the next day, which would be 7 my "original" time, and were on the road by 9 am. That was yesterday. We drove through 3 states yesterday and they ALL SUCKED! The sucked for different reasons of course. Lessons I learned on the trip:

• Yellow caution signs with "suggested" mileage around corners are beneficial suggestions, not just decoration
• My car really does not have any pick-up, especially when holding my entire life (minus my books) in the back of it
• I can handle (while not gracefully) driving in 5-lane highways for long periods of time
• I get easily distracted while listening to a good book

My driving was perfectly executed during the trip...meaning, I didn't get into any accidents and didn't receive any tickets. Shortly after we arrived and unpacked my car, SL and I went to the local Big Lots, Dollar General and Target to pick up the odds and ends I needed to make my portion of the house livable. While pulling into the Target parking lot, I realized I had been using my spare key for the mini excursion and had in fact left my house key in my new bedroom. Rats! I called my new roomie and explained the situation. She was at a restaurant with her brother so she gave me directions so I could drive to her and get her key. After a little shopping spree at Target, we got in the dreaded car and headed toward the restaurant. It was pretty close. A nice, easy drive, yet somehow while rounding a corner, I managed to take out a curb! After driving for 2 days without any mishaps, I took out a freakin curb and scratched my rim! All I could do was laugh.

About 5 minutes after leaving the restaurant, I got a phone call from the same roomie. Through her giggles, she explained to me that she had accidentally given me all of her keys and therefore had no way of getting home. I went back to give them to her and on the way, slowed down while rounding all corners.

Thus far, this is all I know about my roomies:

• They enjoy alcohol, but not to get wasted
• They are BOTH VEGETARIANS!!!!
• They have two cats, that are clearly not vegetarians because their wet food with chunks of animal gives the house a distinct smell
• They are healthier than me
• They are extremely nice and have offered to share their Netflix account with me

Know any good movies I should order?
