today i felt just like dorothy. while i didn't bump my head, dream about an alternate world where i was trying to get home, all the while, battling a wicked witch over ruby red slippers alongside a tin man, scarecrow, and lion... i did feel as if life was spinning me round and round. i woke up late and while that was nice, it was sad because i was alone. home alone with just the animal babies. i was half watching america's next top model (yes, i realize its dumb. its a lame show, i just get a kick out of the stuff they wear, the neat places they go, and seeing tyra banks say 'you wanna be on top!' at the beginning of the show) and doing homework where i got a frantic phone call from my friend katy. poor thing had to go pick up her husband at regan airport in dc/va. she didn't want to drive by herself so i went as moral support and as a second pair of eyes to help her take the right exits and everything. but like i said, everything happened quickly. when she called, she had to go right away. thus began the whirlwind of the day.
now, don't get me wrong. i am glad i could be there for her and help her out. i mean, what are friends for? to love and care for one another. the trip there was quick. and the trip home, was... well... even quicker. her husband is like a nascar driver. anyway, in 3 hours we went to dc/va (across the woodrow wilson bridge), picked up her husband, drove down to edgewater to drop her husband off at home, then back to davidsonville for me to go home. like i said, everything happened quick and rigid. unfortunately, i started feeling sick half way into the drive to the airport, but i think i kept myself composed well enough. we didn't get lost and we got there with no loss of life. but i wonder why i get car sickness.
i remember getting car sick (i never actually throw up, i just get close... or at least feel close to getting sick - click the link, interesting info on motion sickness) when i was little. one of my parents friends would pick me and my mom up to go out and while sitting in the back, i'd get sick. it's only certain cars i think. its very strange. needless to say, i hate it. it's an awful feeling. my head starts hurting, i feel like i'm going to throw up, i get kind of burpy (sorry, gross - i know.), and i get super tired. thankfully, no offense to katy or her husband, but thankfully i was able to go home shortly after all the driving started. i didn't want to get sick in her car. that'd be awful! i would have felt like complete crap, even worse than just car sickness.
i love that when i looked up pictures for car sickness... a picture from the amazing b-movie, troll 2, popped up. amazing.
the feeling of being dorothy was also brought on by the super crazy winds outside. some of the winds were 60 mph! it was intense, thats for sure. when i was driving, i felt my jeep being pushed all over. i should have put a sail on top and flew to the airport and picked up brian... unfortunately, we are suffering from california like situations out here on the east coast. there have been several fires in the area, one not too far from my house. i was wondering why when i walked monster truck this morning, i could smell smoke. i thought maybe someone was burning leaves or someone was burning trash, but then i realized several hours later that i could still smell the smoke. while driving home from the airport, katy and i saw smoke in the sky. no offense california, i love ya, but please keep your fires to yourself. to yourself and not near any people. kthxbai. if you're interested, watch the newscast here: wjz news i guess the fires have been burning since 11am and are still going. eek. and i guess 100 acres are burning.
so now - after eating way too many ribs, and a bunch of other things that surely put me over my calorie quota for the day, i feel sick, tired, and missing my husband. he is out with our friend justin, seeing him play a show. its been a long while since he has been to a show, so i didn't want to keep him from going. but i do miss him. he's been so busy with his new job that i don't get to see him because our schedules have been conflicting. oh husband, if you're reading this (note that i said if... he's awful at reading my blog) - know that i love you and i miss you. and that the cat is currently standing in front of the computer screen. oh wait, she moved. now i can continue writing.
tomorrow will consist of church (if bud and i don't slack and actually get out of bed and go to church... we've been really bad about that and i sincerely miss the fellowship of my brothers and sisters at our church), homework, and spending time with the husband. hopefully he and i can do something fun. hopefully this lingering motion sickness will subside and tomorrow will be a great day. i'm probably going to hit the hay sooner than i thought. anyway - that is all. fast busy day. praying for the firefighters in the area who are battling the fires. love to all who read what i've written. feel free to comment and let me know you're reading. i love you all. ciao.
