Job? No! Food? Yes!

I keep forgetting to get the maps so I can write all the places we went through! I know I will leave something out if I don't look at the maps. Anyways, I have been searching for jobs, already went on interviews but not looking good right now. It's only been a few days but I am stressing! The pay sucks out here. Also a lot of families are looking for just a part time Nanny. Besides that, Tonys parents have made me such delicious meals!! OMG. So fresh and flavorful. Last night was tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and seasonings, cauliflower with a homemade blue cheese sauce to dip it in, baked brussel sprouts, corn on the cob, pasta! Yes, I ate it ALL. I always do! Another night was veggie chili with all kinds of things to put on top. A delicious brunch with eggs and potatoes and black beans. Ok, I am getting hungry now. Having dinner tonight over his brothers house and he is a chef so this should be another yummy meal! Oh yaaaa...

One down

The first part of my journey is complete! I traveled across America with my boyfriend and my cat and I am so freakin proud of myself!!!! 3,000 miles later and I am in Carlsbad. I need the maps to remember all of our stops and those are in the car. Crap. I will do that at another time then. Now the next parts of my journey are a place to live near beach and a job! Wish me luck...

CLIFF!

Ok so we go up some HUGE mountain above Palm Springs to cut some time off our trip. It was horrible!! I can't remember the last time I was so scared!! So we keep going up and up, Opie is meowing in the backseat, I am trying to film how high up we are but then I can't. I am like paralyzed. I am holding onto things in the car that I think would save me. We are driving into the sun!!! Tony is driving, thank gosh, cause if it was me I probably would've drove us off the cliff just because that's what I felt like would've happened! So he is driving and I am looking out in front of us and I can't even see cause of the sun. I am thinking how can HE see??? Then he says "I can't see. I can't see the road!" OOHHH GOD!!! My heart is beating so fast, palms are sweating... I am going to die!! I grab my face and start crying and try to tell him I am having a panic attack. Poor Tony, I am thinking, he is just trying to keep us safe and I am here crying like it's the end of our lives!! I picture it all happening too. Going off the cliff, me holding onto the cat carrier in hopes to save my cat, and just bouncing and smashing off the cliffs. Well obviously and thankfully none of that happened! He got us off that death ride safely and I said "Don't ever take me on that road again."

Almost

Well my journey across America is about to come to an end tomorrow. I think I don't want to be in a car again. Ever. I am sore!! Ok, it wasn't that bad but it was rough. Anyway, just a little over 300 miles to go and I can say I did it!!! We are in Flagstaff Arizona now. It's very pretty here. Sat by the pool and got a little sun. Hopefully check out a little more of the state on our way out!

Lightning storm!

Miles

We drove over 700 miles yesterday. After the first few hours, I hadn't eaten, so I snapped a little. Hey I was hungry!!! I felt like my Dad hahaha!! Video footage would have been good. The look on Tonys face was awesome. Well awesome when I thought about it after I ate. So HOURS after that we saw a major lightning storm in Oklahoma!!! SOOOO cool! Like seriously it was a rush. Then after that, I got tired an bored again. Finally found a hotel, ordered food, they f&*^ it up, of course cause we are sooo hungry. He ordered a burger and fries. He got pork chops and mashed potatoes. They put chicken in my meal. So we are frantic cause they are closing but they fix it of course. Bed time after that! Yes!! Oh but my cat is in the window..hours after I am asleep and does this freaky noise. I jump up, half asleep, look out window and there is a pretty Siamese kitty out there. Of course I get sad, the cat is friggin looking at me, but then leaves. Great, back to bed with homeless cat thoughts. Ok it's getting harder to type now cause Opie is on my lap and my arms!!! WTF. Poor baby...I feel like a mean mama but she had to come with me! Ok I gotta go. Opie needs me. Post cool pics lata!!!!
