I have lived my life with a plan and a destination. One day
my life got flipped, turned upside down and I’d like to take a minute, just sit
right there. I’ll tell you how I became the author of this random adventure. (Special
shout out to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air) I don’t plan to go far. I can
find so many things to do right around here. I like to keep busy because it
keeps the loneliness at bay. I am a separated and the mother of a son who is
growing up way to fast. It’s not so cool to hang with mom as much. I spent most
of my life being what everyone needed me to be and being so very responsible.
BORING! Now I have decided to try to find myself, try new things and see what I
like to do. I would like to invite you to come along and live vicariously
through my journey or maybe to inspire you enough to get the hell off the couch
and take one too.
I am going to start with visiting local attractions and road
trips. I am trying to live without a plan and do new things. I am very type
A so, living without a plan is just an insane concept. I love to take silly
photos with random road side attractions so, prepare yourself, you are getting
lots of that. I will take you with me from seeing flying saucers, big foot
statues, tree house dinning, a place where ducks walk on fishes, candy colored
playscapes, mattress factories that don’t sell mattress along with anything and
everything in between. I also plan to share me with you just as soon as I find
me.
When anyone asks me to go somewhere with them, I am always
like hell yes! If you asked me to get into the car to see the largest ball of
twine simply to take a photo and drive back home, I am your gal! If I am
being reasonable, the largest ball of twine is in Cawker City, Kansas, that’s
quite a hike. I might want to start slowly and google map something before I
open my mouth to commit. Someone asked me if I wanted to go on a cruise once,
just being a smart ass, I said sure. Next thing I know I had to call with my
credit card number to secure my passage on the Carnival Pride. True story.
The greatest part of a road trip isn’t the destination but,
all the fun that happens in between. Expect random thoughts because you know that
post on Facebook with the train tracks- how a man tells a story is a straight
track to its destination but, how a woman tells a story is a whole bunch of
curves and bends to get the point-well that me. I am that woman and I wear that
journey with pride. See there’s another random thought in the middle of
another story. Pay attention they happen quickly. Blink and you might miss some
of my witty banter. I know I write in write on sentences A LOT but, that’s
how I talk and I want you to get to know me. This summer I am going to get into
the car, roll the windows down (okay I am going to push a button once and my
windows go down, my car is fancy), let the wind take my hair and my Ray
Bans shading the way. FYI, I hate bugs so, if a bug flies in, its windows up
right away. Especially those gifts from hell-the stink bug.
Now come on out and get lost with me so, I can be found.
