what to do in a car for 15 hours....

wow...this has been my challenge...for those that know about my VERY short attention span..haaa that might be a bit of an understatement...
i got this internet card from sprint which is amazing!!! honest...we are able to be online all the time...this came in handy this afternoon...we were moving along and i had not long posted my first entry of the day when i decided to go online again and see if i had gotten any emails from the schools i have applied to....just as my computer was logging me into yahoo messenger i am sent a notice that jake barlass has logged on...i instantly started writing to him...we were able to chat for an hour...he also had a webcam on his computer so i was able to see him too...i started to cry...it was so amazing...he looks good...i am so proud of him! what an amazing brother we have!! he says hi to all and he loves us...
we stopped for lunch after he had to get offline...we ate at burger king...im not a big fan of their burgers but thought i had found one that i would like...double stack with bacon is how it was advertised...took my first bite and was overwhelmed with a strange taste...i peeled away the bun to discover they had slathered it with thousand island dressing (not something that should be on a hamburger in my opinion)...long boring story short...i ate the bottom burger and bun...which was fine i was full with that...
i took over the driving duties at that point...we were just on the west side of cleveland...i drove for a tank and a half of gas...haaaaaaaaa not sure how many miles...i think we figured somewhere around 350....this is the point where i was starting to go loopy...i suggested to don that we do a crossword together...i thought this was a good idea when i thought that i would just read the clues to dom and write down his answers...but roles were reversed...and i stink at crosswords...so dom read the first couple of clues and i had nothing but blank expressions on my face so he proceeded to work on the puzzle without my 'help'....after doing this for a bit dom took a nap for a little while and then played around on his computer...(check out badcolonies.org to see his blogs)...i put my ipod on shuffle and told myself i was going to listen to every part of the songs that came up...this idea didn't last long...i got bored with the songs that i didn't know the words to and then bored with the songs that i knew too well...hard to find a balance...
there were a lot of cops out as well in new york...we passed a deer that had just been hit and was twitching...i had to look away quick...was so sad...don't tell bambi...
dom took over driving right before we got off the main drag of I90 that we hadn't left yet...neither of us shed a tear as we finally made our way off of it...we have spent the last hour or so making our way through little villages in northern new york on winding roads...i think it is a beautiful trip but hord to tell when it is 12:30am...
well that's it for now...stay tuned as dom says
