Wide Open Spaces


Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to start off by saying hello. I know most of you think I'm probably already in Colorado or on my way but I had some delays in my trip. I will be leaving for Colorado this upcoming Tuesday May 5th, 2009..... with my MOM. The best person to go on a road trip with!!! No, I'm not crazy!

I found a song that pretty much summarizes my state of mind right now and where I'm heading. If you don't know this song, you're auditory-deprived!


WIDE OPEN SPACES by the Dixie Chicks


Who doesn't know what I'm talking about

Who's never left home, who's never struck out

To find a dream and a life of their own

A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone


Many precede and many will follow

A young girl's dream no longer hollow

It takes the shape of a place out west

But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed


She needs wide open spaces

Room to make her big mistakes

She needs new faces

She knows the high stakes


Here's a photo of me and my mom from when we were in Ecuador....ths is us swimming with Pirranha, Caymans, and whatever other nasty creatures in the Amazon River. I love this picture, she may not, but here's Thelma and Louise....with a twist (and no convertible going over a cliff........but I wouldn't mind running into Brad Pitt.....shit, I'll give him my money!)

  2. Very cool. Love the blog idea. Will you be Tweeting as well? Have a fun road trip. I'm overly jealous of that photo on the bottom of your blog. Right now I am looking the nasty, foggy, wet, gross, NYC skyline from desk and your photo simply looks more appealing!

    Drive slow so you can see everything. Maybe you could upload some sort of Google map tracker to your blog (I'm sure it's possible, but I don't know how).

    Best of luck.

    Keep on lovin' Love.
