cold palm trees/ for courtney
Wow, do I have a lot of commenting to catch up on... the parents have dial-up.
So, I'm back and this was the least traumatic trip back to date. I suppose it gets easier each time or maybe I was dying to make sure the cat was okay and have a little (a lot) alone time. Each time I go home I realize how unique (different) my family is from others or at least from what I've heard. This definitely sounds petty and like a whiny little girl (but of course, that's what my family reduces me to usually), but my family (step-family specifically but real family sometimes) definitely values the get married, have babies, and obtain a mediocre job approach to life over any other. They are always like "um, what do you do?" if they aren't asking "you aren't married yet?" Well, I'll leave that alone. Meh.
Christmas was small this year, but I did get a new digital camera, which is all I wanted anyway. I will have to post a picture of the mummy nutcracker doll my brother got me in honor of my love of halloween. It was the most ridiculous, hilarious, best gift ever. Especially because on the base it says "2005" as if someone needed to memoralize the mummy nutcracker occassion with the year, last year.
I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to and those I did see, I didn't see for long enough. I hope some or all of you can find your way to FL at some point, but only if you make it for a Friday night 80s night. Where will everyone be this summer?
