Dixie Land

Ok,

I've got 50 days left in the South. 

While I am INTENSELY excited to leave, there are a few things I need to accomplish before I do. 

1. Get a picture with the Confederate Solider statute

2. Try Short Sugars Barbecue. 

3. Make fried green tomatoes

4. Tell someone "As God as my witness, I shall never go hungry again"

5. Get a picture of "Pettigrew" road. I drive by it like 10 times a day, and it always makes me frown. 

6. And last; but not least...take the midnight train to Georgia. 

That one's been on my Life Ambition List forever, and I WILL NOT leave the South without accomplishing it..I'm going to look up train times right now...

This is not what I intended..

I keep checking back here, but nobody has updated today. 

Entertain me, clowns!

I've already watched the Deathly Hallows twice and stared at my laundry for an hour, willing it to put itself away. 

(Which; you'll be angered to learn, it did not do)

I was going to see my clients, but there are tornado warnings and there was a torrential downpour. During the only time I was outside, of course. 

The south has heard me talking smack about it and it has answered back with a vengeance. 

The walmart in Reidsville is changing everything around. 

It's disconcerting. 

I had to wander around to find the books. 

Then I had to stamp my feet in rage because there were no good books.

Oh walmart..how did it come to this? 

*sigh*

I guess I can't evade filing my taxes any longer.

I ain't (going to be) missing you at all

To whom it may concern: 

(I'm talking to you, state of North Carolina)

I am officially; in writing, resigning my position as the victim of your unseasonably hot weather. 

Effective June 5th, 2011. 

Yours truly,

Lori Hinsdale

You guys

I put in my official written notice today. 

I feel free. 

I'm going home.

Know all of the things that make you who you are...

I keep wanting to write about what a hipster I am becoming. 

Only, I'm not really a hipster.

Just super cool and trendy.

I've gotten back into my Songs about Jane phase. 

Takes me back to some crazy times in my life. 

Like the time my sister Erin deliberately dumped me into a lake after we lost a canoe race to the town of Perkasie and the country of Scotland respectively. 

It's so hot here. So hot. 

I can't wait to get home. To shop for Elly's kindergarten wardrobe. To camp out and have adventures in Qtown with my muffin babies. My life isnt quite right without them. 

I totally pulled up next to car with hydraulics today, and you know what was blasting from my radio..you guessed it... Justin Beiber! I think I kind of saw a glimmer of respect in the drivers eyes. He probably would have high fived me if his friends hadn't been there.

Somewhere only we know

I was out of work sick today. 

I always think it's going to be so much fun to be home in my pj's, but I don't know exactly why I think that. 

I spent most of the day, wondering around my apartment, calling my sisters, making soup that I didn't want to eat and cursing because I couldn't find my Harry Potter dvd's. 

Yeah. That's right. I curse when I am alone. 

It makes me feel edgy and dangerous, dammit.

Sorry, mom. 

I can't stop watching that dang "Friday" video on Youtube. It's so bizzare. 

Also, my hipsterness is ever increasing. This week, I added Mumford and Sons, Keane, and classic Red Hot Chili peppers to the "non main stream" music I listen to. 

Go about your provincial, hum drum, unoriginal lives.  

I'll be over here, creating strange art, talking about eating organic, and other fabulous things of hipsterness.

It's so hot here.

I can't sleep at night already.

Whenever I second guess my decision to move back home, I think of the fact that it has been in the 80's most of March and now its getting even hotter.

Every night I have been cooking myself the same thing for dinner:

Can of beans, diced up ham, brown sugar, Jack Daniels smoked barbecue sauce, cheese. 

SO AMAZING. 

I had an amazing night tonight with my clients.

The kids I work with are so cool. I wish I could "rescue" them all. 

I hope that what I am doing is enough. 

In closing, I want to give a shout out to Biff's mom, who supports me in whatever I chose to do, and whoever I chose to be. Unconditionally.

You are amazing.

As you move on, remember me

I wish I had something thrilling to blog about.

I got in trouble at a IEP meeting yesterday for passing notes to my intern.

I am super apathetic about my job. 

I just watched Black Swan and I found it to be pretentious and over done. 

I am so excited to sleep in tomorrow. 

My iPhone addiction has only gotten worse with time. If you don't have one, you need to get one ASAP!

I couldn't think of one decent April Fool's joke today. I am not a good enough actor to pull anything off. 

It feels like a good time to reread all my Harry Potter books!

I had a dream that Danielle (my sister) had another baby!! Maybe this is an omen. 

Some friends of mine from college (well, she is technically my sisters college roommate), just adopted a baby after 14 years of marriage. I could not be happier for them! they are going to be the BEST PARENTS EVER!

I found out today that all the weirdos hang out in the dollar store in the middle of the day. Good to know. 

I can't wait to go home. I wish it were today, because I am weary of all of this. 

I think I might go to  the movies and hobby lobby tomorrow. Have a fun, crazy day. 

What do you think??
