I'm Backkkkkk

For now. I won't go into all of that right now, but if I happen to disappear unexpectedly, I am alive. Just not here.

The trip is over. I am back home. It was a horribly long drive. Never trust Mapquest's directions. It stinks.

I miss the family already. Actually, I missed them from the moment that I got into the van headed home. Mostly because I was dreading the 16 hour ride back to the (not so) Great Place. Kidding. I missed them because I love them. Duh.

While on this trip, I became obsessed with something new. I am not one that can say I do not have an addictive personality. Unfortunately. For me, my husband and my MIL. I began reading Twilight on Monday, December 22nd. I finished the last book of the series this morning. Now, I don't know what to do with myself. The series was so good that I couldn't stop myself from reading constantly. The husband had to put his foot down when I was going to take the book with me into the restroom of a gas station along the route. Sigh. Anywho, I am sure you are all wondering what the MIL has to do with this addiction? You see, I was at her house when I read all of these books (except for the 4th) and as I finished them, I passed them on to her. Now, she is addicted. Oh, the 4th one will hopefully make it to the post office tomorrow, Mom. Unless I decide to withhold the "fix" for a while. hehe I am EVIL.

So, after I finished the book this morning, I decided it was time to take down the tree and put away the decorations. I also decided this was a good time to rearrange the furniture. The husband loves me. Actually, he wasn't too hard to convince because he wanted to be able to connect his stinking game system to the internet and we didn't have a long enough cord. That is, until we were halfway through rearranging and he found a cord I had stashed somewhere. hehe Evil.

Now, we have rearranged the house, put together bikes and trikes, and I am stuck with nothing to do so I thought I would entertain you. I know, you are so lucky!

I have to mention that I was most not happy about returning home tonight when I realized that dinner wasn't making itself. Crap! Think I could convince the MIL to come and live in Texas so she could cook for me every night? I guess I will survive...and resume my cooking duties. Sure was nice...

We had a wonderful, exciting, busy, and exhausting Christmas. We went to Gatlinburg on New Year's Eve and it was all of those things too. Ha! Had to throw that in there. I hope that you all had a great holiday season!
