Best Laid Plans Pt. 1

The following minutes were typed by Jamie on Katie's laptop. Our first joint blog post!
3:17- Meeting begins!
3:25- Discussed motels, stuff to bring, and financial situation. Motel 6 are bitches. Actually, they're not. Free WiFi and mini fridges!
3:33- Almost booked first motel room.
3:34- Researched Nashville (aka Music City, though the concert options were depressing). Of course, the Agricultural Museum is free. Apparently there are no age restrictions for the Jack Daniel's Distillery tour? However, the JDD is located in Lynchville. Only fun, nice-sounding places are allowed on the road trip. Discussed desire to go to church in the Deep South as a joke, thus furthering our attempts to go to Hell.
3:43- Got off track...damn south. Quoth Katie: "Wherever we go, it's gonna be hot as fuck and humid as hell."
3:45- Creationist Museum? HELLZ YES. SOUVENIR CITY.
3:53- Reconfigured route to include Creationist Museum.
4:00- What to do with this extra day? Rogersville, Alabama sounds like a nice place. Albeit a lack of Motel 6s. Or any motels. Aha! Economy Inn.
4:10- Almost booked second motel room.
4:16- Reconfigured route to indicate state parks.
4:19- Planned sleeping places.
4:25- SLEEPING MAY OR MAY NOT SUCK. IT'S 90 FUCKING DEGREES IN TENNESSEE.
4:30- K: "We could buy a gun in Alabama." J: "I think they just give you one at birth."
4:37- Country Hearth Inn, Indiana = MILDEW (but good water pressure).
4:44- WTF Holiday Inn Express? W. T. F.
4:53- Have we found all our motel rooms? So it would seem.
5:08- Spending almost half our budget on motel rooms. Half left for food and gas. Possible? I think so.
5:12- Budget planning ends.
5:17- Booking motel rooms! No turning back now...shit, Katie booked the wrong days. Fixed.
5:26- Booking ends. Jamie driving Katie's dad's car begins. Jamie forgets to adjust height of steering wheel. Feels very small. Jamie almost rear ends someone on the way home and Katie flips a shit, immediately after apologizing for "backseat driving". Good laugh is had. Someone in a fucking cactus green Jeep is an asshole who can't stay in his own lane. Swervey-swerve-swerve.
6:20- Returned home safely. Jamie eats wonton soup. Katie eats some tofu vegan stuff.
7:09- Tent set-up test run begins. Successful. Lay in tent and contemplate usefulness of tent. Disassemble tent with minimum difficulty. Stuff tent back in box. Looks almost sort of exactly like it did before. Kinda.
8:02- End of tent set-up. Meeting over!
