Where the Heart Is

Only when you actually have no home do you realize how often people ask you where you live. Yep. Whether they be complete and utter strangers, new co-workers, or friends of friends, people want to know what state, city, or even neighborhood you’re calling home. And when you can’t give a straightforward answer, (”well, my legal residence is in Los Angeles, but I’m moving to New York next month, and I’m staying here in Missouri until then…”), you feel pretty lame.

Yeah, I need to come up with a new way to describe my current couch-surfing/daybed-stealing situation. Because seriously, it’s a Q that usually precedes a 1-second answer, but currently any questioners are getting a bit of a monologue. And we’ve got at least three more weeks of this schtick.

    …just wondering…what is the brand of that green/black rolling backpack-like looking thing? was that good for traveling? i’m wondering if i should get one for my upcoming trips. :)

    It was Eagle Creek. FABULOUS. Would DEFINITELY recommend it. Kind of still looks like new. I even rolled it for a mile at a time a few times…way better than hauling around a backpack (to me, at least).

    Thanks Jayna. Could you link me to it please? I would like to put it in my new Amazon Associates store. http://astore.amazon.com/ul0e-20/002-3158738-3104028
