Up and back

The first trip to SF was successful. Louie was a champ in the car. After walking around the whole entire car he finally settled into his cat carrier and chilled the whole car ride up. The rest of the ride was uneventful. We started out on the PCH but quickly realized it was going to be a long trip up if continued on that way. So we switched to the 101 in Malibu--which is goregous! The whole drive up was goregous on the 101.
On the drive up I experience the first time I have gotten mad, i mean real mad at my husband. So mad that i was banging on the steering wheel. I was driving and needed to get on the entrance ramp to the highway leading up to berkeley. My night vision sometimes isn't that great coupled with a busy 5 lane highway and first time driving on it, I couldn't see if I had room to get over. E was busy fiddling with his mp3 player and wasn't either paying attention or just didn't think I needed help. Well I missed the exit and he was griping at me b/c I missed it and I just got so angry--more at myelf and partly at him. It's been a long time since I have felt such abundance of anger. I couldn't talk to him for a good 10 minutes. Finally what broke the ice is when the "are you going to San Francisco" started playing. Then I started to laugh and ease up. That is what he was doing--was putting together a play list of all the SF songs he had so we could listen and celebrate that we were there and accomplished what we have talked about and planned since May.
I flew back down in OC to go out with some friends tonight. I will pack and leave for Chicago on Saturday and fly back to OC on Monday. I think the plan right now is for me to drive our jeep up on Tuesday or Wednesday since we have not sold it yet.
