overheard 001

En route to Omaha, an angry corn-fed woman on the phone:

"I hope you didn't eat a full meal, I'm gonna be hungry."
[pause]
"I hear you chewing on something!"

taking you with me

Road trip starts in 19 days. I wish I could take you all with me, but since I can't, here is the next best thing.

If you glance to the right side of the page, under the header "right now," you'll find a link to my Twitter page. I'd love to post pictures and blog from the road, but I'm not sure how much internet time we'll have. BUT... I can post updates to Twitter via text message — so that's what I plan to do. How's that for tech savvy? And I was a Journalism major!

first comes purging

Why I hold on to some things, I'll never understand.

Exhibit A: Evidence of too many meals in Chinese restaurants, I've kept almost all my fortunes.

These go in the trash today. Along with a lot of other stuff. It's amazing — and scary — how much STUFF one being can collect.

Before moving, I'm trying to purge, condense, purge again. The less I have, the fewer trips we have to make up to the 6th floor. Oof.
