Captain’s Log--Stardate 061409

I am writing this from my car! Haha! I found a solution to my time crunch issue! We are about 45 minutes from Seattle and the ORIGINAL STARBUCKS!!!! Whoooo! I’m so excited! Coffee for EVERYONE! Also, Starbuckses are now giving out COUPONS to SB products you can purchase in the supermarket. I picked up a book for myself and you should too! J

We are going to get some coffee with Mallory, provided that we ever get to Seattle. We’ve been stuck in heavy traffic for a while. In fact, the state of Washington oh-so-helpfully has those electronic signs up…and they say “heavy traffic”. Gee. I hadn’t noticed. Thanks.

Oh 90s country, you make me giggle. “Boot Scootin Boogie” and “I Like My Women a Little on the Trashy Side”.

We went to church this morning in Salem, OR. It was pretty oldschool Baptist. I felt like we drove 4k miles only to still be in Texarkana. Speaking of, we have gone about 4,100 miles! I hope that we make it the entire trip without having to get my oil changed. My oil is at 50% right now, so who knows?

“Ignition (Remix)” just came on the radio and I am jamming to it. J

Tomorrow is CANADA!

Back to THIS update! I have had a bit of a cold the past couple of days, but seem to be doing better now. I took a tylenol PM nad passed out in the car for 5 hours en route to Penticton, BC. I am not attempting to do my linguistics coursework while stoned on medicine. ...Effective.

I went over a HUGE suspension bridge the other day! That was an accomplishment for me. I am afraid of bridges in general, nevermind SUSPENSION bridges. That goes triple for huge ones over canyons.

I find it really funny that I'm sitting in Canada listening to spoof country music. It's like weird al, except country.

I have had so much Chinese food since coming to Canada, it's been great! And dim sum with Tiffany's grandparents was soooooooooooo yummy!! My favourite was the pork buns and the sticky rice! It came in leaves! It was exciting!

Now I am being herded out of the house to go see the sights? Or something. Starbucks wil be involved, so I'm sold! ;)

This is Laurie, signing out! Mwah! :)
