Long time, no blogging 🙁 Just haven’t been in the mood, I guess.
I went home for Christmas. It was a long, long, L O N G journey home. 17 hours of dense fog, a sick boyfriend, and holiday anticipation makes for a tiresome trek, but…it was so worth it. Up until the moment I turned the handle on my parent’s/brother’s new home I hadn’t felt very Christmas-y at all. But as I stepped into their warm house and into the pinkish glow of the lit-up Christmas tree, I felt home. I felt stability. And I felt loved. Mom was up to greet us at 3 in the morning. Aunt Mary and her grand kids were asleep on the living room floor and Dad was downstairs watching TV. After hugs and kisses and checking out the new house, Thom and I settled down for a long winter’s nap 😉
For the sake of time….here’s a bulleted recap of the rest of the time @ home:
*Thom left on Saturday to spend the holiday with his children
*Mom and I shopped Saturday night and had dinner with Dad & Terry at Texas Roadhouse
*Spent some awesome muchMuch needed quality time with Tyler…we read and played a million and one games of Sorry. I guess the kiddo really did miss me…his hugs and kisses really showed it
*Made Chocolate Chip cookies per Santa’s request
*Ate way, way too much of Mom’s Christmas candies.
*Didn’t get out to visit anyone cuz I just felt too lethargic to leave the house. Sorry friends and fam :*
*Only took 3 pictures on the digital camera the entire time I was home. Took about 15 pics with Thom’s camera.
*Loved being home, but hated the blizzard and windiness 🙁
The drive home was so much better. Both Thom and I felt loads better and we made it home in just 13 hours…..getting in around 11pm. Then it was back to the work grind the next afternoon….and I’m working straight through til next Thursday 🙁
In other news….I had to make a call to the Amazon to inquire about my deposit that I should be getting back for my APT…and got some bad news about that noisy neighbor that lived above me. Apparently she was epileptic and she died in her shower….isn’t that freaky? I almost feel bad about complaining about her sexual activities so much. Except, the Yip-Yipping noise she made was quite annoying.
So…. I guess that’s about all that’s going on. I’m out the door and off to work in a few minutes…Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!
