Moving stuff out of the awesome apartment back into my parents' house.  I know it'll be okay since I'm flying out in exactly two weeks.  But it's still a disturbing sensation. 

My sister called me tonight.  The parents are visiting her and BIL in San Antonio.  For some reason I answered the phone ( Read more... )

Had a garage sale today with the roommate and the parents.  We did pretty well, not fantastic or anything.  It was one of the college's homecommings so we think we might have lost some people to that.  We made it fun by getting donuts and a lot of people we knew came mostly just to say hey.  I now have more food-money for Prague!

I watched My Fair ( Read more... )

Today the parents told me they'd pay for half of my plane ticket to Prague.  0___O   I'm so happy and thankful they're as on board with this as they are.  I should expect better of them, but years of treating me like I can't tie my own shoes has kind of set into my mind.  Plus, they're super protective (I'm the baby) and tend to over think things ( Read more... )

Had Christmas with my parents and G-Ma today.  Tomorrow we're going to my brother's for Christmas day-Christmas.  Mom made our customary tamales and tortilla soup.  Hmmmmm.  I got a The Slanket.  Predecessor to the Snuggie and far cooler I must say.  Unfortunately I can't use it right now as it's almost 70 degrees outside.  It's supposed to get in ( Read more... )

Last night was my family/family friends annual Christmas party. These families I've grown up with and their kids and their kids kids now all eat a lot and drink and play games and generally have fun. I was made aware of this internet sensation I'd never yet heard of.
