I'm always driving now. Always. It has ups and downs. I like being alone in my car. Singing at the top of my lungs; not caring about the strangers who think I'm strange. I like talking on the phone while I'm driving - the down side of that is I use more minutes on my cell. I don't know if others like it so much when I talk and drive. (Sometimes I even get annoyed at myself when I do that.) Also, I like to drink coffee and do that often when I drive. The down side of that one is the extra money I tend to spend on the caramel frappicino.
And there is just no upside to the amount of gasoline I go through in a day. Today it was over half a tank.
111 miles seemed like a lot to drive in one day on Saturday when I did that. But today I drove that plus 20 more. 131 miles today. Crazy. I need a more centralized life!
Tomorrow I have to be in Arlington Heights at 9:00am. That is 52.87 miles from here...according to MapQuest.com. Then I work in St. Charles - another 30 miles. Then I have to debate about going back to South Barrington for church . . . which at this point I don't think I'm going to do . . . and then back to DeKalb.
I guess I'm making up for those three months of not driving.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
