I’ve been writing a lot about my road trip the last couple weeks. That’s because I’m still excited about it even though we’re at our destination. The new HHR that we got from our local GMC dealer has been a dream and we had great weather the entire way. But since it’s just my wife and I, we had to get creative in passing the time. Here are some things we came up with.
Audio Books
I don’t mean the traditional types of audio books that you put into the CD player. We would discuss movies that one of us has seen but the other one did not. We went into details as if we were telling the entire story from beginning to end. We would also ask each other questions during the story to get more detail. This passed about two hours going through Texas.
Call People
Since my wife doesn’t have a driver’s license, she was the only one that used the cell phone. But she put it on speakerphone and we called some old friends and family that we haven’t talked to in a long time. We got caught up and had a good time reliving memories. That passed a couple hours in New Mexico.
Make New Lyrics to Popular Songs
My wife is notorious for this. She likes to take a song that she knows I like and change the words so that’s the only thing I think about the next time I hear it. One of them is Hootie and the Blowfish’s “Hold My Hand.” She likes to sing “fold my ham” instead. It makes me so mad, but it makes me crack up, too.
Come back on Wednesday and read some more ways we passed the time.
