I already miss Cinnamon... and I haven't left yet

I got up this morning and it was SNOWING!!!!!!! I LOVE the SNOW! And
ESPECIALLY in Tennessee. That just doesn't happen very often. It put
me in a happy mood on my way over to Ruthie's place. :) Ruth Collins
had a writing appointment today. I REALLY really like the song we
wrote - but it is gonna take some practice before I sing it for
anyone! The phrases are long, so I am gonna have to learn where to
breath when I am singing it to make it sound natural. :)
We actually tried to make a video of "Lottery" (the last song we wrote
together... ) but umm.... there's no sound for some reason. I've tried
saving it in all different formats, but there's just NO sound.
Strange. I mean, I guess I could post it and make some subtitles....
but that's just not the same. :)-

We're leaving tomorrow to go off into the record-breaking-bitter-
coldness of Illinois and then up to Vermont. I've never been to
Vermont, so I am looking forward to visiting a new state. That is
pretty unusual at this point!

But it's 4 in the morning and I am having to concentrate way too hard
to make any kind of cohesive thoughts at this point. So I think I
better go to bed. I have actually started about 7 different paragraphs
and keep deleting them...

But I will say that I think our roommate has ESP or something. I was
thinking about how we have no food in our apartment (pretty typical
since we don't REALLY live there....) but then I thought... ooo I have
pancake mix and probably a couple of eggs....
I walked into the kitchen and drumroll please.... my roommate was
making pancakes. Now, this was about 1:30am so it's not like it was
breakfast time where that might be a little more normal. It kinda
freaked me out.

So I ate one of her pancakes. (Don't worry, she offered... I didn't
just steal it) and then James and I drove down to Columbia to pick up
the trailer. My parents are AWESOME and let us park the trailer their
house. Plus they always take care of Cinnamon while we are gone. So
we're spending the night in Columbia and then heading back up to
Nashville in the morning to pick up the guys.

I'm really gonna miss Cinnamon when we have to leave her in the
morning. I hate that part of roadtrips. :(
