Week of the Draw: [right] it up

I miss writing.

It happened in Australia when my laptop disappeared and my blogging stopped. I got a little pink notebook; and it became my everything. I wrote all my thoughts, fears, "lessons learned", letters to God, and personal insights in this little pink notebook. In times when I had nothing or no one, I had my book. I could still release my thoughts, twisted and unjudged. It's not something I would want anyone to see or read, necessarily...but it's too late now. I'm not sure what happened to that little pink notebook. One minute I had it at the Hungry Jacks (Aus. version of Burger King) and in the hallway of my apartment, and the next - gone.

I miss writing. I miss letting my creative juices flow. I started sketching last year. I realized that a new outlet was needed since I couldn't sing out loud while living in other people's homes (during my "homeless" season last year). I suppose the option of writing was always there, but I like to write in a place that is my own [head], in peace and quiet. Anything I could think of writing was too personal and deep for thought. I will have a book eventually and let it all out one day...

For now, it's back to the things I like. Letting those creative juices go and conquer for good.

I will be going to Dallas, Texas for the first time on Friday morning with my company for a conference. My blogging has not been as up-to-date or current as I would like, but that is about to change. Please, look forward to it.

Cheers,
Christine

P.S. To anyone who finds/found that little pink notebook, please email me...(contact info inside...)

No Surprises

Traveling a long way can become irritating, boring, and just frustrating. Driving to far destinations can seem endless, but have no fear -- you're getting closer and closer to your destination. It's important to keep that time occupied so that you don't get irritated, bored, or frustrated.
 
Things to do while traveling:
  • Read books (literature, comics, magazines)
  • Coloring books -- age ain't nothin' but a number
  • Sing-a-longs
  • Make lists -- like this one
  • Listen to music -- I recommend Slacker Radio or 8tracks.com
  • Write
  • Play games on your telephonic device -- Angry Birds certainly lives up to its rep.
  • Play car games -- like the license plate game or call dibbs on the nicest cars you see...even though you probably don't actually want it in real life
  • Eat
  • Watch a movie -- invest in a laptop, car t.v. or portable DVD player

JUST FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE:
We all know gas prices could be lowered and sometimes I wonder if the prices of some of these gas stations are permitted or rigged. Why is there such a big gap between gas prices between the South and the Northeast? I know everything is cheaper in the South, but a 30 cent difference is causing me to question why the prices are such a big difference.  

Living in Florida, you learn about price gouging (Thanks Gov. Bush). My initial thought would be that living/working in Washington, DC and being aware of gas prices, Congress/the Senate should be aware of these ridiculous DC Gas Prices ($4.50/gal) in comparison to the rest of the country. In rural Maryland, my parent's 2010 Toyota Corolla filled up at $3.63/gal for $60 worth of gas. In South Carolina, the gas was $3.37 and cost $30 to fill up.

What is the rest of the country looking like? I'll be in California and New Jersey soon, but the quicker with answers, the better! What are gas prices looking like in your town? Lmk.
