Touring America

I seem to have taken the fall nail polish line a little too seriously:  the “Touring America” collection.  I didn’t mean to.  I didn’t really even have any travel plans.  Sister had a wedding back home in Kansas City, needed a babysitter and my bff in NY had never been, so we all went for the weekend to see college friends, get the family together, and eat as much beef as we could manage before getting back on the plane. 

But that was family, and since I didn’t have an actually vacation planned,  I went out to New York for almost two weeks to hang out, shop for my birthday, spend some time on the Jersey Shore, see some friends…  it was wonderful fun!  I was starting to feel really decadent after buying both $35 purses and visiting the most amazing, Asian chair-massage, again.  And there was a hurricane!!  Well, not really, but I was the last train out of the city before they shut it down.  There was enough rain to flood the only road out of town where we were staying farther north.  Little did I know that the snowball was just starting down the hill…

Instead of getting in the plane to fly home and get to work, I suddenly had a week off and the opportunity for a new car, so I got in my new car and drove home.  Yes, from NY to LA.  Holy crap, a new car!  With more than one working speaker!  I took my time, covering 300-700 miles a day, staying with friends when I could, totally enjoying the ride and scenery… I can now jack my phone and computer into the stereo!  My own music in the car?!?  I was either going to blow out my ears or my speakers.  And I was transporting gear for a friend that included a mixing board…  I had so many fantasies about bringing that Macky up to the passenger seat and just mixin my way West! 

But they all questioned me…
