Road Warrior

I don't know that I've spoken much about it on this blog, but I am originally from the Augusta area and now I live in the Athens area. Over the past couple of weeks, I have decided that it is in my best interest to move somewhere between Athens and Augusta. I sometimes feel like I live in both places! The amount of times I visit Augusta is really almost ridiculous at this point.

Let's take last week and the weekend before for example. The Friday before, I drove to Augusta for "family dinner" at Sconyer's and to pick up some make up from the sister. When I did that, I totally forgot that I also wanted to see my cousin as "Cousin Mary" in Tom Sawyer and the last day of that was on Sunday. I mentioned the play to my niece and she wanted to go with me too, so I couldn't back out! Mind you, I did not go to Augusta prepared to stay for an entire weekend. Plus, I had a "stock the bar" house warming party for some friends in Athens on Saturday so I had to come back home on Friday night. Saturday, I went to the house warming with a bottle of red wine in tow. Sunday, I drove back to Augusta and arrived just in time to meet my parents, Aunt, niece, and nephew for lunch before seeing Tom Sawyer. (Which was still a solid hour drive away, mind you!) I did manage to stay around town most of the day Sunday to at least make the hour and half drive worth it. Then, on the following Tuesday, I drove back to be my friend's date for a wedding rehearsal. Of course, last Saturday was the wedding so I had to drive back for that. But, I'm also dog sitting for friends right now so I couldn't stay through the weekend. Which led to another day trip to Augusta happening last Saturday.


This week, I'll spend the week in Athens and the weekend in Augusta for another wedding on Saturday afternoon.
Next week, I'll spend the majority of the week in Athens, but I'll go to Augusta on Thursday afternoon for a concert and will stay through the weekend for Easter.
The week after that, I'll spend the week in Athens and the weekend in Augusta for my nieces first birthday party.
Then, HOPEFULLY, the last weekend of April I will spend the entire week AND weekend in Athens.


Even at the age of 27, I still haven't learned to be still for any length of time and it doesn't look like I'm going to start now. But, it might save on time and gas money if I found a more central location to live. Maybe I'll find another Craigslist upstairs apartment! I'll start looking.
