Trip to Florida- Off to the Sunshine State
We are grabbing a quick breakfast and will shortly be on our way through South Carolina and Georgia before hitting FL. Up at 5:45 and tired.
I got a report from Chloe. She is doing well.

Trip to Florida - Rest for the Night
We have gone from Ohio to South Carolina and all are tired.
We might go for a nice walk in a bit and plan to be on the road tomorrow by 730, off to sunny FL.

Trip to Florida - Lunch
Stopped in VA for lunch. Already a better experience than WV. It is cold and rainy but looking better the further south we go.
Sandwiches...someone's looks a little sparse.

Trip to Florida- The First Injury
We are officially in West Virginia.
We were in the state for less than 10 minutes and I fell over a stone bench. When I say fall...I mean fall. See photo below. My entire leg hurts and it is getting more bruised by the minute.
My family thought I faked it because it was so ridiculous. In fact, they all walked away from the scene of the crime. Meanwhile, I was hunched over trying not to cry in public.
Of course I don't blame them. I would laugh and walk away if I saw it too. Obviously thus far I am not a fan of West Virginia. Here's to a better visit.

Trip to Florida - On Our Way
8:15 am on March 16th and we have been on the road for 2 hours. Four humans, two dogs and a Cadillac that is filled to capacity has entered Guernsey County Ohio. We have already stopped for a bathroom/coffee break and back on the road again. Nothing of significance has occurred thus far which is good. I am learning a lot about how people raised their kids in West Virginia back in the day.
My sisters are sleeping ( the dogs) Chloe has already had a good report (she is staying with her Aunt Donna) and we are settled in to go to South Carolina today.
"Granny" has just asked if I am twatting. (tweeting)
Margarita looks thrilled.

Updates...It's Time for an Announcement
I know...you have all missed me. I have been extremely busy. Working 14 hours a day is no fun and quite frankly, for the birds.
In my "free" time, I have been working behind the scenes on my blog. I have added two new sections. Though a computer genius likely would have been able to do this in a day, it took me several weeks of blood, sweat, tears and pleas to my friend from college Liz to help me. (Check out her AMAZING blog here: WomanlyWoman) Finally I have broken through with my remedial html/web design skills and figured out how to do what I wanted to do with this.
Though I will absolutely keep this blog up, I also have added two new sections to this blog. One is up and running, the other will be soon (after my vacation!).
If you look above, you will see two new tabs. One is called "The Flip Side", the other "Have You Heard This?". Both are dedicated to two of the loves of my life, poetry and music. "The Flip Side" is amateur poetry. I only choose the most raw and thoughtful poetry I can find and I invite anyone reading this to submit things to me. You can even do it anonymously if you like by e-mailing here. (Just don't put your name!) If I like it, I will add it. I have gut wrenching poems, awesome quotes and micropoetry. Please read it. It is good for your soul. Let me know what you like and what you don't.
The second part of this new venture is known as "Have You Heard This?". In my real free time, I scour the internet for new music and I have found A LOT recently. I want to share with the world and feature some of these awesome bands that I have come across in mydrunken stupors research. I promise, for any music lovers out there, it will be updated soon.
In the meantime, keep watching this space. In two days I am off to Florida with "Todd", "Sarah" and "Granny"...it is sure to be a good time and I will surely be live blogging our adventures, including the two day drive in the Caddy...If you want to be notified when I post, please add your e-mail address on the right side of the screen.
For those of you who want a quick update, Chloe is great, getting ready to stay with her Aunt Donna while I am out of town. I have given up on love, so dating stories may be few and far between in the future. (Though I still want to have children, so perhaps I will share the plan my mom and I came up with.) I finally have the beginnings of a novel going, which if your remember, was my New Year's Resolution. I am still following my favorite soap opera (AKA the politics of the US. All of you Republicans are fascinating me with your mixed up musings. Santorum? Really?) and have been sleeping better the past 2 weeks. (Yes, my insomnia cycle is over...for now)
For now, please read some poetry...comment...it will mean the world to those who have poured their souls into these pieces. Like I said above, it is good for your soul.
I will be back soon...Florida in three days!
