Blah
Don't really have much time for a real update, I'm at Michelle's feeding her fish and stealing some fast internet to check my email to see if my flight for tomorrow got changed at all. I'm leaving Neenah tomorrow at 4am, my flight leaves Green Bay at 6:45, a quick flight to Chicago, a two hour layover and a quick flight to Detroit and I'll be there before noon. I had a good Christmas (but my grandma didn't want to come and spend the holidays with us, made me very sad and we have some serious decisions about what to do with her now, but that can wait until later). So Christmas was good, but I am ready to go. It was really nice to spend time with old friends from high school, but at the same time, sometimes I feel like we are trying too hard to pretend that nothing has changed when in reality, we are completely different people than we were 5 years ago. And a week is about my limit staying with my parents, I always feel like I am in the way there and that I am disrupting their schedule. So I spent a lot of time at Michelle's house to try to make that icky "no place to call home" feeling go away.
I'll excited to head to Frank's too, I miss him! I get to see Kate this afternoon as well, and that will be great, I haven't seen her since May. I packed this morning, what a chore! My parents were really not very smart and got me pots and pans and baking pans for Christmas, how am I supposed to get them to fit in my suitcase??? And they were mad when I asked them to just ship them too me, they said I could find room, well not really... So I brought them to Michelle's house along with a few things that I knew I wouldn't need and left her a note asking her to send them when she gets back into town. Cause really, I am not going to need pots and pans at Frank's house. And it irritates me that my mom didn't really think of the fact that I have to travel with all this stuff, she didn't make it the easiest for me.
So I'm a little stressed and ready to be out of here, at first I thought I should have stayed longer, but now I'm really happy that I didn't, I think things might get ugly if I was here a few more days. And besides, now I'll get to see Beth and Dave and Kristyn on Thursday or Friday and Gerard at the GLI. I miss my friends from Tech and I want to be see them :) Still don't know what I am doing for New Years, I put Frank on that task actually. He's calling Craig to see where he's going to be, or maybe we'll go visit Austin or something, we'll see. I think we might also try to take a trip up to Houghton for a few days to visit Squirrel and Jimmy and Sue (my old profs who could give me a little encouragement that I am not wasting time at grad school). So that would be fun as well.
Well, that was longer than I anticipated. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years :)
Miss you and hugs :)
