Today is the second in the last three days of getting up at 5am, and basically sitting on my ass for following 12 hours. This time from Warsaw to Ames Iowa, for Brad's graduation. A good 5 hours there, and 5 hours back. I may officially be over traveling for a bit. And, well, getting up at 5am.

Copious amounts of traveling has been good for plowing through Laurie Notaro books. On the plane I got done with Idiot Girls Christmas, and last night we dug through boxes to find the other ones Katie owns. Today I started Idiot Girls Adventure Club and proceeded to get 3/4ths of the way through it. Which would have been 4/4ths if it weren't for dusk being 4pm in Iowa. When I get home, I will not complain about how early it gets dark. Arizona has a good hour over out here. Anyways, Laurie may be my newest hero. I can't believe I have gone this long in my life without having read her books. I have been missing out.

The couple of hours we weren't in the car were spent sitting watching Brad's graduation. It's quite literally be a full day of sitting around.

Iowa was cold as fuck, and made Missouri look like a delight weather wise. Not a cloud in the sky, the sun shining, but without any hint of anything that resembled heat. How do people do this? And why? There is a better way to live and breath. It's called Arizona. [wink] As much as I will bitch about the ridiculous heat during summer, it is nowhere as brutal or unpleasent as the cold of winter in the midwest. And with all the snow in Iowa, it made the holes in my shoes an interesting part of today. Not really a problem that has come up in Phoenix.

While having a smoke before heading back to Warsaw, I was struck with how bad it would be for me to live here, because I had the intense desire to curl up and hibernate. It wasn't til half way through the cigarette that it dawned on me that desire may have been being influenced by this mornings 5am start.
