welcome home...
so i just got back from vacation... fun fun lol
the plane was awesome and it was so great to see most of my family and friends again. and the land. i'd missed it so much and i didn't get to spend near enough time outside. and not a single dip in the ocean! drat it all!! lol
i got to spend a lot of time with my mom and dad.. and my aunt and uncle.. and my crazy aunt and uncle lol. and my grandmom and my favoritest cousin ever. my sister? one random 3 minute meeting with her at the local blockbuster while i was visiting some old friends and co-workers. did we plan this? no, she just happened to be returning movies at that exact moment. otherwise we never would have said a word to each other on my whole visit. but such is life with her. always has been i suppose... but anyway; the friends! some of them lost and rekindled, others new, others the oldest and best of all.. i made a pact with my best friend that he would move out here with me if ever his girl and him don't work out. i hope they are together forever. whatever makes him happy.. but if not i hope he does the leaving. he's too good a soul to get hurt.. but anyway...
i got to see another best friend who is now happily into her 6th month of pregnancy. it was amazing to see her. i know they say pregnant women glow, but she really lit up. we watched the fireworks together, the whole time she was propped up against her honey with his arms around her and his hands on her baby-belly.. so beautiful. then we went to their house together and her and i sat on the sofa just talking, her shirt up and my hand on her tummy. he was moving all over the place the whole time we talked and with every bump there was an ear-to-ear grin across her beautiful face. i'm so excited for her and cannot wait to see them again!
we also went crabbing which i missed so much. and we ate at the old mill crab house... which i also missed so much! lol. i really enjoyed it all so much. and i got to see pirates 2. oh my god. just oh my god. wonderful movie! it was all about the kiss and the apple and *shivers* i'll just have to leave it at that.
i got drunk with a good friend and we got to let out some emotion, which is always wonderfully cathartic. and i got to see some little boys and girls who i had missed sooooo much. it broke my heart to see how much i had missed; how much they had grown.
and then, just like that, it was over and i was on a plane home. i missed my friends and make-shift family out here. i missed my job and my cat and my apartment. and i missed my doctor lol. i was sooo sore after all that travel! but now i'm back and life is returning to normal.. or whatever semblance of normal i present it to be. i got to sleep in yesterday and swam the afternoon away. then dinner and a movie with the sweetest guy in the world. and today? 3 hour long meetings within 4 hours of one another lol. welcome back to the corporate world ladies!!
