Life these days

All I do, ever.

Pizza overdose. Please pray.

Hunger Games

Woody and I were supposed to go see Hunger Games tonight, but we bought tickets for tomorrow night instead. So now we have to entertain ourselves with regular games.

Libby: What is this?
Woody: (shrugs) Scrabble?

He teases me and gets away with it, that's how you can tell I love him.

New Rules for College

1. If a professor doesn't allow you to use technology in class, they shouldn't be allowed to use it either. (No computer for me = no computer for you.)

2. If you are a crazy lunatic, don't expect us to take you seriously.

3. Understand that we don't hate you because you are making us do work; we hate you because you're an asshole.

4. Now I understand why people in college drink all the time.

Running Totals

This trip:

Woody:
Virginia
Delaware

Libby:
Virginia
Iowa
Louisiana

Total score:
Woody: 27
Libby: 34

And just in case you think he isn't getting a fair shot, I drove more than half of the trip yesterday, although clearly he is driving this morning which allows me to write today.

Have we been over the rules?

1. No parked cars
2. Both of us have to be present
3. Each car only counts once
4. First person to find all 50 states wins dinner and a movie of their choice as well as the trophy sitting on our mantle right now
5. When crossing a state border, it doesn't count as a new state until you turn off the car, get out and then get back on the road

We started January 17 and clearly I am going to win any day now ;)

Adventures in GPSing

I cannot say this strongly enough: Never underestimate my ability to get myself, and everyone in my vehicle, completely and hopelessly lost.

There was a running joke in my archeology class last spring that I was always in the last car to arrive at a new location because they either let me drive or navigate. No really, I was there one time when they made it, which made the joke even funnier to them at the time because I was finally in on it.

My parents gave me a GPS for Christmas, which I had long sense put off because people become dependent on these things and can't get anywhere without them, and I didn't want that to be me. I'm already so directionally challenged. But anyway we have the GPS on this trip and for the most part it has come in handy.

In my excitement yesterday when finding a Virginia plate while out of state, I tapped Woody's leg, upon which sat the GPS, and I touched the screen instead of his leg by accident, unknowingly adding a detour to our trip, which took us significantly out of our way and made us circle back on our trip.

I WISH I was kidding.

Thankfully Woody noticed before too much damage was done, but I think we have learned a valuable lesson here: I'm a lost cause. Literally.

Road Trip

Passing a cop car in Lacrosse County...

Woody: Lacrosse Police.
Libby: Aren't they just called referees?
Woody: You guys are taking your job much too seriously.

High brow

Got my eyebrows done today, finally. But I went to a new girl and she didn't make them even.

My left eyebrow is permanently surprised; my right is normal. I look seriously comical. Like a cartoon or something.

#firstworldproblems

I would not give up falling asleep next to him for anything in the world. He gives me a love and happiness I've never known.
