Too much stuff!

Technically, I've been moving since Easter weekend, so this weekend was the big move, meaning that I took all of my furniture to my dad's.  I hired a moving company to load the 17 ft. U-Haul for me, which took about 3 hours.  Of course, I paid for 2 so I had to go to the grocery store and get cash for the overage.  I must say that my movers were amazing.  They packed my truck expertly, so nothing was damaged in the move.  I was very pleased to get everything to my dad's intact.  In fact, my  friend commented on Saturday that this was the easiest move that he's ever done.  Although I am very thankful that it went smoothly, I wish that I was finished. 

Since I drove a one-way U-Haul, today I am waiting at the bus station in Dallas for my return to Corsicana.  I caught the bus in Comanche, TX last night around 7:00 and had an 11 hour and 20 minute layover in Dallas, so I am thankful that I had a friend with an extra bed. Not only was it my first bus trip since Woodstock '99, it was my first time riding the Green Line on Dart Rail.  I could get used to public transportation as I enjoyed paying only $4 (it should have been $1.75 but I didn't read the screen to see that I could ride the train without purchasing a day pass).  I was not prepared to sleep in the bus station, yet I may need to keep an open mind in the future.  I have looked into purchasing a Discovery Bus Pass for 60 days and try traveling by bus as a way to cut transportation costs between the big sales. 

This idea came to me last weekend when I was at the Houston book sale, well actually, as I was talking to my best friend from the hotel room.  I told him that it seemed to be cheaper to rent a one-way U-Haul truck and catch the bus back, than to drive The Beast with U-Haul trailers several times.  He make a wise crack about getting a bus pass for my book sale travels and I said that sounded like a good idea.  I quickly began researching and found that a 60 day bus pass is $566.  I already have 3 trips planned in June, well at least there are 3 sales that I'd like to attend, and the Tucson sale will cost at least $400 in gas.  I spend $166 more and get to travel for 2 months free...lol.

If I don't get nauseated on today's bus ride, I may just have to try Greyhound for my first 2 months of homeless entrepreneurship. Yet, I still have tens of thousands of books to move before I can begin the nomadic life.

Background

Howdy,
Either you've stumbled upon my blog, purposefully sought me out, or just decided to stalk me...I hope that you will find my life chronicle entertaining.  I am a soon-to-be completely mobile entrepreneur.  I've ran a couple of online bookstores for several years now, and have recently changed business models to go mobile.  Thus, in less than 20 days, I will be voluntarily homeless to champion my latest concept.  I am very excited, yet somewhat scared of this new venture, since I am leaving the safety net of my apartment, but hope that all will work out as intended.  This blog will be an account of the trials and tribulations of my journey. Stay tuned for my crazy adventure!
