Snuggling On Hold


And we're off! Last night was our last official night of snuggling; I took this picture with my iPhone early this morning, while Ed was still asleep - can you tell by the profiles which one of us is Italian?? Our load is finally ready and we're on our way, which means no more sleeping in the same bed. For the next fifty hours one of us will be sleeping while the other one drives; I won't be spooning again until we hit the Seattle area.

Ed put our new shocks on the truck yesterday, which I hope will greatly improve our ride; they supposedly offer ten times the damping force of a regular shock. I think damping is supposed to be good. If so, I want lots of it. I finished the other blog post I was working on, which actually had to do with the stuff we've been doing on our truck, one of those things being the shocks. It's a two part post that lists all the items we've added to our truck to enhance its performance. You can read Part One
here.

My brother called me today to find out if I would be home for the July 4th weekend, as he's throwing his annual BBQ. I hate not being able to give an answer, but since we've been on this dedicated run for the last month, we haven't been anywhere near home. He's got a kick-ass pool and puts out a fantastic spread, so I'd love to be there, but the answer right now will just have to be "we'll see". It's kind of a sucky answer, I know.

Other than that, there's not much else to tell. My audiobooks are queued up and ready to go. I am in the middle of A Thousand Splendid Suns right now, with The Spider's House on the back burner. It's a good thing we're making some dough on these trips, because my Audible.com purchases are getting a little out of hand.

I know this because I have a Wish List. And it's getting longer by the week.

Great picture! Have a safe trip and I hope that the new shocks give you the ride you are looking for.
