The Vacation That Never Ends.
The Vacation That Never Ends. I'm on my last couple of days off now on this extended vacation I've taken. While I can say it's felt good to be free from work this long, I do have a desire for something to do in order to help my days seem less chaotic. I mean being untethered at the time is great, but I've been eating out too much, gaining weight, pampering myself way too much, have watched every movie at the video store (TWICE!) and still have managed to rack up over 1500 miles on a rental car. I've had a lot of fun, and got alot of things done with my time off, but I think the most fun I had was last week when I decided to pull myself outta my element here, and go on a lil tour of a few of the states over to my North East. I was a little dismayed at the fact that some people who I've really wanted to meet in person shrugged me off, never got back with me, or flat out ignored me or disappeared, but to the ones who did answer my calls, and emails, well, well, well....as you all know, we let the good times roll! I'll protect the names of the innocent, and even the not so innocent, by saying to those of you who hung out with me and showed me a good time in the states of MO, IN, and MI, thanks, and you know who you all are. Should any of you find yourselves in Eastern KS. near my city, look me up! I left at 7oAM on last Friday morning, and drove up Through MO. I made a pit stop in Warrensburg for coffee with an old friend, and the fact that I didn't really have a schedule made for a great feeling, even so, once I got back on the interstate, it was petal to the metal, to make it into Illinois, where sadly some phone calls were not returned, so I had no reason to stop, or even slow down. Once I got into Indiana, I decided to deviate from the Interstate, on to some highways. This seemed like a good idea at the time, until I got to about the second podunk town where the highway snaked through at awful turns which were saturated with stop lights, and train tracks. By Friday night I was settled into my hotel in Lafayette, and waited eagerly for a lovely lady friend to show up. We didn't have much time, so we compressed as much fun as we could into a couple of days and nights. We hit the movies, breweries, the bedpost, a few restaurants and shops, and went sight seeing all in this time. It was good times and great company, and when Sunday rolled around we had to part ways because I had more friends to visit, and trying to squeeze as much fun in as I could get away with while my was being watched by another friend who was sweet enough to help me out. When I arrived in Elkhart I called my other good friend and let her know I had some cops on my tail, but that I was gonna cruse around until I found a spot to wait for her to call back. Instead, on a whim, I just drove around until I found her place, and got the warmest welcome anybody that far up North could get. That night, my lovely friends and I went up into MI to meet some more new friends. It was a lot of fun but soon we had to take off, because I was promised a steak dinner, and Goddamn it was good. All the lakes and trees in the IN, and MI areas were so beautiful. If we had more time I'd have loved to stay for a meet n greet with some other people I know from the area, but I needed my car returned and felt I should be getting back home to my responsibilities soon. But before I did my awesome host took me to an amazing place where I felt like I died and had gone to heaven. Actually, she did that twice. LOL, once to a actual place, and the other time on a nice warm waterbed. The morning came too soon. It was sleeting and snowing outside, no sun, and miles to be traveled. I dared not look at the map because I wanted to remain undaunted in my travel mindset. With the help of much caffeine, and a few fuel stations I made it back in time to return the rental car with out additional fees. I returned home to my dog, and continued on with my vacation, now back at a pace of ease where I had no time constraints. I've seen many friends, and had too many good times to put it all in one blog seems lame, but I'm gonna do it because I can. Besides, I still got me some movies to watch, and a few days to wake up as late as I want to. Hehehe. Living life like this is one more reason I wish I could become an internet millionaire. To all those (And you know who you are.) who helped make my trip a good one, I say thanks, and you are all welcome to join me anytime you're in my stomping grounds. Ken |

Well back in the saddle tomorrow. I am soo glad you had fun on your vacation. I know you needed it. Just keep remembering how close heaven is LOL. I try not to take more than a week at a time off because I tend to pamper myself too much as well. Enjoy being back at the grind I know we won't see much of you until you get things straightened back out at work.

Screw being innocent. I'm so glad you had a good time. I went and picked up my ring today. It is so cool. I picked up some inscense too, of course. The lady, who's name I found out is Raine Castle (cool huh?), said...tell your friend the claymore is still here lol. So, I am passing on that information. As I was leaving the store, I heard a faint whisper that may have been the wind, but I'm almost sure I heard "Keeennnn, come to me." It seemed to be coming from the direction of the cigar store. Weird huh? Anyway, thanks for everything...especially the pictures. I think you may be right, that one is profile quality. ha ha. Hopefully you won't have to fix anyone else's srew ups when you get back to work.

Actually it would be building on what I know. Eventually I have two goals. I'd like to teach for awhile and/or advanced practice. For example some units let Nurse Practioners practice in their ICUs. So it would be doing a lot of the same things I'm doing now in terms of making patient care decisions except that it would all be totally legal. lol. So all this means I need to go back, get my BSN and then work towards a doctorate degree. Come for the breasts, Stay for the brains! L

Ah, Pondskipper, they won't ever be giving me any awards on my professionalism, I am too politically incorrect, but I do know my stuff. I may just start at Humboldt and see what happens from there. Come for the breasts, Stay for the brains! L

Ur dam right I'll be there. I'll bring the drinks.

So you wanna be Silkworm instead? lol Come for the breasts, Stay for the brains! L
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11/20/2007 8:38 pm |
Well there's Pondskipper, a take charge no nonsense friendly sort. There's Weedhopper, a laid back social sort. And then there's Silkworm, a driven quiet hardworking sort. All very good people... If you want another one I'll have to think on it... Come for the breasts, Stay for the brains! L

Now why not be silkworm? A silkworm is a fair sized bugger and nice and fat. Seeing as how girth is truly where its at in the size department, I can't see how thats a bad thing. Thats not even counting the fact that he produces something that is wonderfully sensual and calls out to women to handle it as well as being strong enough to deflect arrows and yet light and easy on the shoulders. I guess I'm just not seeing a downside to silkworm... Come for the breasts, Stay for the brains! L

Is it normal that I'm slightly jealous right now? Wow. I know CA isn't exactly on the way anywhere except maybe the ocean but Ken, the ocean is beautiful (in some places... usually private beaches). Head west next time, brutha. I know how to sneak in all the private beaches anyway! Kali
