Tonight was one of those rare perfect nights. I had to go visit my dad, which was quite a bit better than I expected, it seems like every time we hang out we get along better. Now I'm not really knowing what to do with all my pent up rage for him. He keeps being this nice guy and I am left going WTF?
Anyways, so I'm driving home and the weather is just freaking gorgeous. Cool out, a bit muggy for those of you not used to it, but I almost love the soupy feeling of the air down here sometimes. I'm just kind of meandering home, enjoying the night, listening to the radio. And I swear, every station I put it on had a song on that made me think (and sometimes say out loud) I LOVE THIS SONG. Puttering away, I sang along, danced along, bobbed my head and basically made a complete ass out of myself in front of all of the lovely people driving next to me. At one point, I'm singing REALLY LOVE YOUR PEACHES WANNA SHAKE YOUR TREEEEEEEE, I'm smiling like a madman singing it and kinda shimmying back in forth in my seat when I look over and a car full of middle aged white guys in suits are laughing their asses off at me. I just smiled and waved and kept on rockin.
Sometimes driving at night, when you can get outside of the city, the air smells strange, almost like fresh sliced cucumbers. I have yet to figure out what makes that smell, if it is one certain plant or just a combination of a few, but the air smelled like that tonight. The grape vines growing in the trees bordering the roads were silver in my headlights. Coming into town, I was the only car in the road and for just a brief second I wanted to keep driving. I thought about heading up towards Fort Worth and spending the night at the B&B my husand I shared on his R&R. I wished he was with me, but not in a sad way. I just knew he'd enjoy the night with me, and I wondered what he was doing. Probably getting up to start his day, showering, getting dressed, going out to do whatever it is he is doing. I think I wasn't sad because for some reason, as cheesy as it sounds, I felt like he was thinking of me too. I hope I sent him some of my happy vibes tonight, instead of the bluer ones that tend to come out when I am alone and it is dark.
I'm in a really good mood, just a genuinely, non alcohol induced fantastic mood. I have to get up kind of early to pick up my stepdad from the airport, and I have to work tomorrow afternoon. I hope this feeling can last just a few more days. If I could put this in a pill I wouldn't even try to sell it. I'd give it away for free.

A: Jeeps are loud. Very very loud. The soft topflaps around something fierce.
B: Jeeps can drive just about anywhere....but tires can not. Stupid people leaving stupid nails lying around.
C: You can never get the top up fast enough when it rains.
D: Breaking into a jeep is as easy as unzipping the window. On the plus side I have locked my keys in the car with the engine running 4 times now and I've never had to call anyone.
Other than that they rock. Go get one now.
