More getting ready...getting readier?

I've already failed my goal of posting something at least every other day, but the last few days have been a flurry of power outages, doctor appointments, power outages, errands, and craziness, so I'm giving myself a little slack. Did I mention the power went out?

We've tried to buy a few things for the trip, but we keep failing rather miserably. Who knew it would be so hard to find a windshield sun-blocker-reflector thingy for our make and model of car?

I'm trying to decide about the third leg of my trip, which was supposed to land me in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have an offer for a place to stay that's a ways north of there, and would add about 200 miles to my total drive. But I still wouldn't have any single leg greater than 450 miles, so that's not so bad. I think this trip could go one of two ways: I could either die of boredom from all the time in the car and just want to go the shortest route possible. Or I could die of loneliness on the nights that I have to be in hotels. So, not knowing which way it'll go, it's hard to say if the chance to drive 200 extra miles to stay somewhere with friends is going to be preferable to the chance to revive the bloodflow to my ass in a lonely hotel room.

So, three weekends left. Two full work weeks. The temp starts Monday and there is TONS to do with her before I go, so I fear/hope the time is going to fly. Either way I am greatly looking forward to this weekend and throwing myself into preparations.
