There's no place like HOME for the holidays !
Yeah, I realize it's not Christmas anymore - but I already miss it! Who minds the nasty weather when it's Christmas time? I know I don't! The snow makes everything.... right... during that time of the year. Oh well... another year to go. I'm happy that i'm going home this weekend. It's my grandpa's "surprise" party on sunday... and I haven't seen the Printz side of the family in awhile so it will be fun! I'm also happy that Colin is coming with me! :) He doesn't come home with me a lot anymore and that makes me sad. Although I like to just spend time with my mom, it's still nice to have the boy with you. I'm excited to watch the sueprbowl with him, too! :) I think i'm going to be busy this weekend though, and I HATE having so many plans. I might be working, I told a friend i'd have lunch with her... and of course I want to see the Harvey's. What a weekend it's going to be. The one thing I LOVE about going home is waking up early with my mom and having a cup of coffee. We talk forever it seems like. It's a good "bonding" time. Haha. I have a wonderful mom. I know every mom is special to their... daughter or son in their OWN specific way, but i'm just so happy i'm not one of those people who isn't in touch with her parents. I mean, I could spend more time with my dad but it just seems too complicated for the both of us. BUT, i'm so happy I have this relationship with my mom. I mean, yes, i've always loved my mom more than anyone in the world - but ever sense i've left college we have gotten closer than ever and I love that. I guess a lot of kids take their parents for granted when they're at home. I can say it, because I was in that situation before. Well, anyways! Sometimes things get old in Mt. Pleasant. If you lived herre, you'd know what I meant. I love my roommates & all that jazz, but I feel so much more AT HOME when i'm actually.... at home. Let's see. Right now i'm watching Spanglish and it reminds me of my Uncle Mark because we saw that in the theatres together. He really liked the Spanish actress. ;) ! Ha. It makes me both happy and sad to watch movies that i've seen with my Uncle Mark. It's a feeling that I can't describe, I guess. It's really hard to lose someone so close to you, which i'm sure a lot of people have experienced. Alright, I wrote a lot in this entry so I suppose i'm done. HOORAY for it being the weekend! (Almost...)
