Saturday 8th March:
Last night was awesome. We kidnapped a friend and took her to dinner and a movie. We were going to go to our favourite restaurant, but it was full, so we tried another one - that was full too. In the end we got pizza and came back to the house and chatted until it was time to go see the movie ("Jumpers"). It was pretty good, ended kinda abruptly though which seems like they're planning a sequel but we'll just have to wait and see.
Other than that things have been pretty routine around here, cleaning, watching a little tv, playing a little world of warcraft, and spending time with house mates.
Its damn cold outside at the moment. Last night when we came home from the movies it was negative 11 degrees F outside (not sure if that included the wind chill or not). can we say brrr? Not sure what it is outside at the moment, since its only 10am but the driveway is looking slick which isn't going to be too fun when I go out to get the mail. ooh I just checked and its about negative 10 degrees f (which is negative 23 degrees C). According to the weather site its going to warm up...a little by the end of the day, oh and there's meant to be snow! just what Wisconsin is lacking (please note: heavy use of sarcasm, we have about 2-3 feet of snow on the ground already at the moment).
Well I'd better go post this, and start having a tidy up in the lounge and computer room before people start waking up :) Hope everyone has a great day!

Wohooo my 50th Post! 4 day's worth of updates.
Thursday 17th January:
Early morning this morning, went from Tye, Texas to Ardmore Oklahoma. Delivered the load then went to pick up our next delivery in Tulsa. We got to go through Indian reservation area's today which was pretty cool.
They had some pretty crazy weather down here lately, there was a lot of damage to trees as we were going down the road. Pine trees, snapped in half!
Friday 18th January:
Unfortunately we wont be home on the 19th as we'd liked. The only load they had that they could give us which heads north, is in Louisiana. So we got a load going from Oklahoma to Louisiana (which we're currently on). That delivers today, then we're told the load going north wont be delivered until "early next week" which we take to mean monday or tuesday. Sorry to anyone who might've wanted to call this weekend.
They've decided to swap us out with a different load because the area that this load is meant to be going to only has loads heading towards california, which isn't the direction we want to go. Unfortunately the place we delivered to messed us around for awhile so we wont be able to get as far as we'd like tonight.
Stopped at a local small town truck stop tonight which was really good. They had a restaurant next door and since we were both hungry we stopped in for a bite before bed. There was a bunch of older people in there sitting around chatting. Was really nice to listen to. They were awesome. Really nice folks.
sleeeeeep...i need sleeeeeeep.
Saturday 19th January:
Started our day about 5am and headed to LIttle Rock, Arkansas to swap out loads. Got there and thankfully he was awake so we could swap loads and head out. We decided not to push too hard yesterday, our goal was Alorton, Illinois (near St Louis, Missouri). Pretty boring day for the most part. I read for awhile on our way to the truck stop, and for awhile once we got there. Even managed to get a little World of Warcraft playing done (you really need high speed connections to play it, so its not often on the road we get high speed, and time to play - had to make the most of it). I played for about an hour before we headed to bed.
Sunday 20th January:
Heading up to Richfield, Wisconsin tonight because its pretty close to where we're delivering tomorrow morning. I'm hoping that we'll get told to just head back to the yard without a load so we can go home for our home time.
I'm a bit sad because Shana is leaving to head back to college today. We've been working really damn hard to get back in time because she thought she could leave as late as Wednesday. Unfortunately the weather isn't looking good which means she's going to leave today so she doesn't have to rush through bad weather.
I'm really looking forward to having some time at the house to relax and get a few things done. We're only going to be in for 2 days this time, then back out for 2 weeks.
Random fact: Monday is Martin Luther King Jr's birthday here. Its celebrated on the 3rd monday in January.
