avenue h...where are you?

this morning we departed on our great and wonderful journey to west texas and santa fe. i spend all of last night/early this morning washing my many many clothes for the trip. and i don't think i've ever packed so much in my life. which would be the reason i had to waddle into the ramada inn heavy ladden by my many bags. oy. but- anywho.

we left at around 10ish from barnes and noble to get our caffinated goodness and headed west. the drive was pretty good, just long. we saw many a wonderous things on our way. signs that point to power lines saying "power lines" for those who might question the large black wires draped across the highway. public restrooms are a thing that should be updated too. i mean, come on...i had to roll up my pants from the floor up to my knees because the floor smelled like...well. i'll spare you. lindsay drove the whole way, minus the 15 minutes i did before we hit bumper to bumper traffic in a standard. yes. katie had a mini-panick attack. it died on me 4 times. bless the girl behind me who just waved everytime i threw my hands up saying obscenities. we ended up just for-going the directions and following the many texas tech-er's who were migrating back to the educational mecca. which, brought us into lubbock ghetto. scary ghetto. like, reminds me of san antonio areas where you take your life into your own hands. i was worried and saying "i don't care if this is the best damn school, i'm NOT going here where i don't know anyone getting lost on a regular basis." but, we found safety in the retail stores. much much better. food was then consumed at outback along with mine and lindsays demand for alcohol. bless them for that. now, i'm laying in bed after a wonderful hot shower listening to lindsay talk to chris on the cellular phone. so far, it's been a good story. tomorrow i tour the school, talk to financial aid people and what not. see wassss up. the campus looks really pretty, so that's a plus. then we head farther west to santa fe. MUCH FUN!! :)

oh, and if anyone would like to know the locations of many gentleman's clubs in lubbock, texas...i'm your girl. that's what getting lost will get you. (and not in the spiritual "lost" type way.)
