First of all, I can't tell you how nice it is to have access to a clean toilet 24 hours a day. In the past month of traveling, I have experienced the most revolting public restrooms in all of America. And what's worse than a nasty bathroom, is no bathroom... for miles and miles and miles. It's enough to make you dehydrated as hell.
But, believe it or not, I have more exciting things to write about. I'll post recaps of the places we visited as soon as I can get my photos in order. For now, I'm glad to be back in Georgia... even if the humidity is so thick it's like the earth giving you a big warm sweaty hug.

the facts
I am: female, 30, yankee born, dixie raised, living in the midwest, writing a memoir, & chronically seeking adventure.
I have: a tendency to be dramatic, a husband who is far from dramatic, a loud and lovable family, friends I would lie down in traffic for, & a killer sweet tooth.
I write: for practice, for sanity, & to capture the everyday things that make me grateful.

quotes i [try to] live by
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." -Mother Teresa
"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be." -Marcus Aurelius
