Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life - R

So I feel the need to explain why I haven't posted in a while. It's silly, really. This is my 100th post and I got a case of stage fright. Felt the need to post something witty or meaningful or do a give away or something other than just the ordinary. But I'm a rather ordinary girl living an ordinary life in this ordinary world so here's my ordinary encyclopedia entry...

Range Rover - okay, I've said over an over again that I really want a Murano but if money were no object...Range Rover? Yes please!

Resident Assistant (RA) - I spent three years in college at OBU as a resident assistant. Loved it! Probably the most defining experience of my years there. I mean, besides the lifelong friendships created and the whole figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Resident Director (RD) - also known as a dorm director. Loved it! Probably the most fun working experience of my adult life. Went back to OBU a few years after graduation and worked in my favorite dorm (er, residence hall) -- Go, Kerr!. Loved my girls (the RAs working for me as well as the residents) and my coworkers and all the event planning...Trick-Kerr-Treat, Murder Mystery, Trading Spaces, etc. What fun!

Road Trip - I love the idea behind road trips. Scenic routes, tourist traps, cheap souvenirs, soundtracks, all of it! But the actual execution is a little less beloved. I get bored easily and I don't really even like driving all that much. The checking out the cities and shopping and restaurants and sightseeing are all good. It's the actually getting there that's my problem. I did, however, manage to plan a cross-country trip and actually follow through with it a couple of summers ago. The destination was Florida to visit my BFF (Kristin!). I meandered through Memphis up to Kentucky (Amy!) and back down to Nashville (Adrian!) and across a tiny sliver of Alabama straight down Georgia (skipped the day and night in Atlanta) and finally reached Kristin about a week after I left home. After a couple of days at her place we headed west and spent a few days and nights in New Orleans (tattoo #2!) before I dropped her off to visit family in Texas. It was a good trip all in all. I'm thinking that actually buying an Airstream and a towing vehicle (Range Rover anyone?) will cure my dislike of driving. Right?! Because I love the idea of road trips...
