The third day...

Townsville is the destination today. It’s about 5 hours away. I never thought I say this but after 8 hours of hearing myself sing, I must to stop and be quiet. Apart from my pukeable warblings, it’s been a good trip so far. The scenery has been amazing and the people friendly. Patrick, my car, has behaved admirably. What more can I girl ask for in a travelling companion?

Day two on the road...

Long stretch today – Bundy to Mackay. It’s 8 and a bit hours. I plan to sing along to the sundry shopping bag of CDs I have thrown together to play. Not sure how Patrick, my car, will deal with 8 continous hours of me singing. I’ve also decided in lieu of my birthday I shall blow another $30 and stay in a 4 star motel. What the hell. I’m worth it.

Road Trip day one....

Okay – so I’m packed and the movers are doing what movers do and I’m on the road to I reckon Bundaberg. It's about 5 hours away. I say I 'reckon' as that’s the goal but goalposts, as we know, have a habit of changing. Bundy is the home of Bundaberg Rum - a fine drop. The plan is to get there tonight. Let’s see how that works out….

Hillbilly style...

Patrick, my car, resembles the truck in The Beverley Hillbillies. It’s packed to the rafters with sundry stuff I’m not about to let the movers take. I hit the road tomorrow on my 20 odd hour trek. But for now, all is packed and peaceful as I look forward to the newest chapter unfolding in my life.

Zen teachings...

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow.
In fact, just piss off and leave me alone.

2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.

3. No one is listening until you fart.

4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.

7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

10. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.

11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

12. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the tree.

13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

14. Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes from bad judgment.

15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women.
Neither one works.

17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our ass.
Then things just keep getting worse.

20. Never , under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Synchronicity…

I was on my morning walk thinking about how I needed to get one last box to fit my microwave in for the move on Friday. As I pondered this I rounded a corner and there before me was a pile of boxes on the sidewalk. I think Mick summed it up best…

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
