Summer Plans

Damn. Trying to look up nice cheap hotels in Moab because MY BUDDY LIZ IS COMING TO VISIT and she deserves to see more of Utah than the Great Tub o’ Sea Monkeys Salt Lake. The internet, however, is not cooperating, so perhaps I’ll do that tomorrow.

But at least I got a few days off from work already!* I can at least hang out with her.

I’m kind of ridiculously excited. I haven’t seen Liz since we graduated from college, though before that we spent four years as the best of pals. It’s strange how that works, innit? And it’s not like we stopped being friends after that—hell, I’m ridiculously excited that she’s coming. We’re just sort of … geographically separated.

But! Now she’s coming and I get to act like a little kid and show her all the things I like about this place! My brother even wants to come hang out if we do our mini road trip. Granted, if the internet doesn’t work we may have to camp out in Moab, but by god no matter what it’s gonna be fun.


*And got descent upon by another coworker who smells days off like a shark smells blood. She seemed to feel that 6:45 this morning was a good time to call me and ramblingly tried to negotiate a trade in hours. Yes, that coworker. At this point I’ve decided it is worth losing hours if I don’t have to deal with her.

MOAB. <3 I seriously almost said fuck it and settled down there. I loved it. Take her to Goblin Valley! <3!

I am posting this here since we seem to both be rather awkward phone-talkers.

I sent a message to my friend in Boise who I want to see during my trip to Salt Lake and told her that I want to leave Eugene on the 16th, stop in Boise for that night, and then come to Salt Lake on the 17th (Saturday). She has not replied to me, but that weekend seems like the best option. I have not really planned how long to stay, since I don't know when you and your brother can get time off to go to Moab. My return plans right now are to "drive back through northern Nevada and pick a random small town to spend the night".

How does that work for ya'll?

Hey, it cut off my first sentence! Which was just "Hey this is Liz!"

Yup, we are awkward as all hell. ;)

Sounds good to me! We might wind up doing Moab first so I can be back by Wednesday, but I'm only thinking we'll spend about two nights there anyway, if that.

Got a reply from Britney in Boise. Looks like things are a go on her end, so depending on how long the drive takes from there to Salt Lake (googlemaps says 5 1/2 hours, but I am never sure how accurate that is is) I should be there on Saturday early evening. You'll have to send me your actual home address in an e-mail.

This is gonna be so fun! I am psyched!

...I think there's a paranormal site called the Gravity Well in the area of Salt Lake City.
