19 hrs on the road

19 hours. That's exactly how long we were in this truck yesterday. Me, my husband, dog, cat.yep.

Actually, aside from this bronchitis crud I got going on.... It wasn't entirely bad. We're even still on speaking terms! Well.. That's probably because this diesel truck is so loud we can neither hear nor speak without screaming across the cab! Haha seriously though, DH has been awesome, and we have been a good team along the way. we made it all the way to gainesville, Texas before stopping for the night, so I think that was pretty good timing. Currently we are in Oklahoma were the fog is thick and visibility is bad, hopefully it wont put us off timing too bad. Gps says we will be "home" at 1640, but due to mountain time zone we should arrive at 1540. This is good :) the animals have been good, Muzzy especially .. Way better than I thought he would be. They pretty much sleep most of the time, and get stir crazy toward the 10-11th hour. Poor Giselle wanted to play when I took her for a quick walk at a stop. Had to inform her we a) had no time and b) I swear I heard dueling banjos. Louisiana was an experience. It was actually pretty cool seeing all te swamp on the "bayou" and hearing the Cajun accent. We stopped at one gas station just south of Shreveport, LA ( and those of you who know me well know I was excited about Shreveport due to my obsession with Charlene Harris series aka true blood) anyway; this gas station was called "3Js Four Way". Yes. I feel no need to elaborate on that name. As DH was filling the truck up me and the kids were doing some people watching. Well, that was amusing enough but the REAL fun was when I ventured inside ;) Listen now, I am not one to judge.. Those of you who know me know where I grew up. For Gods sake there was a "hitching" post at our local gas station, so you can tie up yur horse when you want to go in for a beer! So that being said, this place put the Sula mall to shame. This was the only place I have ever been that you can fill up your car, buy some chicken gizzards to go, pick up some fishing worms, a cheap bottle of wine, and oh what's that? You need a new tree hunting stand? Ah, hell, they got those too! Our friend Clay mentioned another stop in LA similar to this place, but it also has a casino inside! SCORE! We went through Texas and swear we spotted Chuck Norris, but I heard the rumor, we don't "see" Chuck Norris he sees us, and If he does let you see him... Be careful, he is the only one who can round house kick you in the back of the face... True story.

Oh job status: called the people who interviewed me for a follow up.. They have another person to interview next week, hopefully will know after that. I also got another call from an agent about a job in ICU in boulder. She will email me the details. I may have to take it, but obviously I would rather have a permanent position than contract. But I'll do what I have to! Stay tuned for more blogs!
