Hi everyone sorry for the lack of posts the past few weeks. I guess ignoring my work in my last semester wasn't the best idea, I was less than thrilled when it finally caught up to me. Don't worry, my work is all done and handed in and I'm ready to get back to blogging on a regular basis. I've got a ton of posts sitting in my draft box along with some exciting things coming up!
As I'm writing this on my iPad I'm on a what should be nine hour drive from Gettysburg to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. My two friends and I planned on leaving to start our road trip around ten in the morning... Shocking that didn't happen. By the time we were all awake, last papers handed in, cleaned our apartment, packed up got food and gas and hit the road it was about one in the afternoon... I guess we could've been worse with our time management and not left today at all...
I was sitting shotgun with my iPod on shuffle, Erinn at the wheel, and Emma sprawled out across the backseat we were on the road. Both Erinn and Emma we're wearing comfortable workout clothes and couldn't resist making fun of how I decided to wear one of my plain black maxi dress, Jack Rogers and had my hair up in what I refer to as a B!?@$ bun. Jokes in them maxi dresses are by far the easiest most comfortable thing to wear on a plane or long road trip. I can't even get over how comfortable and easy the are to travel in. Not only are they simple and classic but you don't really even have to sit like a lady while wearing them. I mean really, I can't sit still on these long trips, thank god the dress is long enough so I can sit cross legged or put my feet up on the dashboard, pants would be too constricting to do that in and I should definitely shave my legs before I throw shorts on.
That original nine hour ride slowly started to slip into the double digits, now it's five in the afternoon and we're looking at an eleven hour total drive (and it could keep going up). It's not totally our fault, yes we did stop at a mall to go to grab a car charger from the Apple store, but I swear we were ladies on a mission and didn't even linger outside of other stores looking in drooling over the clothes. We had blinders on to quickly blow in and out of the apple store to get back on the road.
So with that self inflicted fifteen minute delay, where did the rest of the extra time come from? We'll let me tell you we were on the highway again for less than twenty minutes before we hit stop and go traffic. At first we assumed it was the regular DC traffic and merging, but it continued on after we passed the Capitol. We were hopeful when we passed some fender benders but the traffic continued. I don't think we've gone over fifteen MPH for the past three hours...
As painful as it is being in this lovely traffic. The three of us have clearly found ways to entertain ourselves. Emma in the back continues to switch between sitting behind Erinn and I to hang out the window in hopes of making some car friends. Once she gets bored with that she'll lay down for an attempted siesta but quickly hops back up to try and make more car friends. We've sent some snapchats that we find hysterical, but what else is new I always think I'm funnier than I am. We've sung along to the iPod on shuffle which has been beyond entertaining.
We've sung along to everything like Beyoncé, Paramore, Miley Cyrus (and Hannah Montana), Hillary Duff, Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Pit Bull, Jessica Simpson and too many more to mention inclusion some ones I'm too embarrassed to mention.
I'm glad I'm back to blogging on a daily basis. Check back later to see our lovely road trip progress and what else were singing along to in the car.
until next time... xoxo
By the way... We finally arrived at 2 am, and let me tell you that 13 hour ride was quite eventful. Look out for a post on how we got pulled over by the cops on chicken road, which looks like a road a horror story would take place on...
