As I blog more, I’m noticing two things.\u00a0 The first is that it is becoming easier.\u00a0 The second is that the sooner I post about the events I am thinking about, the better the posts are.\u00a0 I really wish I had the energy to post about Sunday on Sunday night after I got home from Chelsea’s going away party, but after a total of almost 9 hours on the road, I just didn’t have anything left.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was fired up about writing this post.\u00a0 I had an eventful Sunday.\u00a0 I just have to explain something first.\u00a0 After the drive home from Philly, I stopped off in Seekonk quickly before heading up to Plymouth to wish Chelsea all the best.\u00a0 There were so many things running through my head, I just HAD to start writing.\u00a0 How am I to write when I have yet another hour drive ahead of me you ask?\u00a0 I used the voice recorder of the blackberry and did a quick “talking points” stream of consciousness.\u00a0 There was so much that happened on the 5 hour ride home, I hope I don’t miss anything!<\/p>\n

Let me start off by saying that the drive DOWN to Philly Friday night was relatively uneventful.\u00a0 We didn’t hit too much traffic, so that was good.\u00a0 We left late and only hit a little bit of construction traffic in Connecticut, and then some in NYC on the Cross Bronx.\u00a0 I’ll deal with you later, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

I had a great weekend.\u00a0 It felt natural.\u00a0 Fan-Fitz-erific.\u00a0 Enough said on that.\u00a0 If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to comment, and I’ll answer them.\u00a0 I just don’t want to stray from the true meaning of the post.<\/p>\n

So without further bloviating, this blog post is not so kindly brought to you by horrible weather, the rain, rain dancing Native Americans, bad drivers, “Nervous Breakers”, “Lane Weavers”, Nervous Drivers, Clueless State Police Officers, and last, but CERTAINLY not least…\u00a0 The not-so-great-state of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

My day started early, around 6:30 *wink*.\u00a0 On the road, and got some much needed and delicious breakfast.\u00a0 By the time I was actually on the way home it was closer to 10:30a and the skies had just grown ominous.\u00a0 I pulled out my blackberry, and opened up a weather report, complete with satellite image.\u00a0 No Problem!\u00a0 I should be about an hour ahead of any actual rain for the whole ride home.\u00a0 Mistake number one!<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I made a miscalculation or what, but boy was I wrong.\u00a0 By the time I was on the highway it was miserable out.\u00a0 Torrential down-pouring, and visibility next to nothing.\u00a0 What is it about bad weather that brings all the assholes out onto the road?\u00a0 I drive a manual shift car.\u00a0 I like my car and I love to drive.\u00a0 On long trips, I do use the cruise control however, as sometimes I just want to relax a bit.\u00a0 It is a 5 hour drive after all.\u00a0 So as I started this trek, I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to suck it up and actually *drive* the whole way.\u00a0 Visibility was bad and every bad driver in the tri-state area decided to go for a Sunday drive.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has been in a car with me knows that I do have a touch of road rage.\u00a0 They also know that for the most part, I say the things I say about the other drivers mostly to be funny, or strike up a conversation with the passengers in my car.\u00a0 There are some things however, that really infuriate me, and its because they are common sense things.\u00a0 I think I’m just going to list them…\u00a0 Oh, and if you are responsible for more than 1 of the below things…\u00a0 Horrible things to you and your family…\u00a0 and your family’s family…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
