Wowsiers!!

So ya, you were right about Greys Anatomy...fantastic.  and you're right, that last song needs to be in my collection FOR SURE!!!  Let's also talk about how pissed I was at the attitude of that heart surgeon towards Christina.  If I was Yang, I would have said, "you're right, you can't teach me anymore, but clearly I can teach you a thing or two...bi-atch!"  ALSO, I loved the way they had Callie wake-up. It was just so powerful!!

So in other news, Dave Bowen would like me to come out for a full month...I mean Jesus!!  We'll see what happens.  I'll have to call my dad tomorrow just to run things by him.  Most of the time he gives really solid advice, but sometime I think his focus gets a little off.  We'll see.

Hizzy, why do I always feel like I am being pulled in 10,000 directions?  There are things that I want to do in life, visiting NZ for example, but I never feel like I get to do these things on my schedule.  I really feel like this move to AZ is what is best for me and it's what I want to do, but I feel like getting there is full of pleasing everyone else.  Mom wants me to go to Pittsburgh, dad is so focused on getting his automobile that he is not realizing how much of a wrench he is throwing in to  my plans (selfish as SHIT! I know!), Caroline wants me to go to Ottawa, Bowen wants me in NZ to help HIM.  I mean holy hell!!  I just want to go and start my life over!!!!

I just need to focus...FOCUS!!!

I know this wouldn't be nearly as stressful if I had the money to just hire someone to pack my shit, make my plans, brush my hair...just kidding about the hair thing.  But per usual, having the finances to get this stuff done would really help.  I wish I didn't have to rely on my parents for the help.

UGH!!!!!!!

And finally... I need a super freakin cool name like yours!!! Z to the Hizzy?!  COME ON!!!!  I need a new name, let's figure this out cuz LIM ain't cuttin' it!!!

I CAN'T STAND IT

i can't stand it, LIM, i can't STAND IT. i'm sitting here, trying to figure out how to make my nephew's soon-to-be-wife regret having ever met us. trying to figure out how to make her GO AWAY and leave the whole family alone. and she won't. she won't hear anything cutting and awful i have to say because she's DENSE. and i can't stand it. she'll continue to spread her toxin and poison my nephew to the detriment of his life and hers. DAMNIT i can't stand it! my sister-in-law and i cannot meet this woman. sis-in-law is ready to kill her and i'm ready to crush her spirit and put her in a mental institution from my viperous tongue. I CAN'T TAKE IT!!

just cant wait to be oooon the road aaaagain!

i like the idea of this being a choice you made for YOU. and i like the idea of being there FOR that choice in a real and tangible way. of course, you KNOW i love a good road trip too, grrrrrrl! i know and understand the attitude of "let's get there and let's get there now", but there's something about a road trip that makes the journey seem so much more significant. you start out and usually, you spend hours if not days on roads you've already traveled, and you're excited and happy and eventually BORED to death of seeing the same thing and THEN, all of the sudden- there it is - new road and a new view. and THAT is the essence of a road trip to me. to NOT go at warp speed- to see something new - to stop and take a look at your surroundings, to be excited about the next hour and where it will take you. it's a specific feeling of freedom to be slowly making your way A-way. that you can go so far and see everything along the way in the time you would normally be sitting at a desk, looking out a window and wondering where you could be by now. also, there's the idea of being trapped in one place long enough to explore the laughter of the people you're in the car with. to not be able to escape from potentially uncomfortable moments and to have to talk through them and then get as silly as possible and sing your way through part of a state. GOD i love a road trip! this road trip in particular marks something special for both of us - just to be able to see each other nonstop for days, to talk as much as needed as freely as needed. it's a bonus in our otherwise busy lives and it makes for solid, basic friendship. and of course, on a lighter note- it also helps both of us see just what kinds of pigs we become on the road. i'm telling you NOW- the amount of food i can eat is embarrassing and you'll eventually want to say "drop. the. cookie. now. anne!" to me. when that time comes, please be merciful and have compassion. HA! isn't chad in for a TREAT!?

On The Road Again!!!

I can't wait to get on the road!!!

I am not a fan of road trips per-say.  I am a "let's get that as quick as humanly possible" kind of girl... which would probably explain the speed-bumps I have been encountering in my life.  Life is about the journey and I'm a destination girl.  Clearly this is going to cause some frustration, and it has.

This roadtrip is different though.  This trip signifies me leaving my current life and starting anew.  Although this has been the case in the past, this is the first time I am making this change based solely on what I want to do, not based on jobs, friends, money...this is for me.  This is why it is so important for me to have my best friend with me for the voyage to my new life.  She is always there at the end of one and start of another, but this time I need her there for the transition, it just seems appropriate and necessary.

Can you even imagine, days and days of talking, singing, laughing, and probably some tears.  I have so much to share and so many stories to tell!!!  OMG!!!! I can't wait!!!!
