Home At Last

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

I am so glad to be back in my nice, quiet, uncomplicated life. (Uncomplicated? Did I say that? Hmmm.)
So let's see what I did the last few days.

Friday

• Went shopping with my mother, who bought me a pair of capris and a bunch of make-up.
• Split a Sante Fe Burger at Ruby's with my mom for lunch. Yum!! Throw in some chili cheese fries and a strawberry shake, and you make for tummy ache.
• Did some work on the project, and clarified a few things. OK. So really it was the first stumbling block, but we all recovered nicely and progress was made.
• Thought I lost my cell phone and my mother called all over to all the stores we had been to that day looking for it. What a great mom! (After the project crisis was averted, I made everyone be quiet as I called the phone. Eventually found it in the sleeve of my shirt which I had hastily taken off when dealing with aforesaid tummy ache.)
• IM'd with Jack Bauer.

Saturday

• Got up early and read blogs.
• Played with PhotoBooth with me and the nephew. Sent pics to Jack Bauer.
• Went to the beach at Corona del Mar. The beach I grew up going to. Built a sandcastle with my nephew and got about 100 buckets of water (today I am sore).
• Ate Chinese food for dinner.
• Fell asleep on my sister's couch at 9 PM, for which my sister scowled at me. Apparently, I am supposed to have more energy. Not when you are not used to dealing with a high-energy 3-year-old.

So all in all a busy trip. But I did not kill anyone, or beat myself up. Everyone was not nearly as annoying as I was expecting.

Vacay Update

Yesterday's highlights, or lowlights as the case may be:

• Trip to San Diego County was uneventful, but long. Didn't do anything exciting, so I guess it cannot really be a highlight. Sorry.
• Got into a bit of blog talk with my mother. Hmmm. She ask if I considered blogging. Dangerous territory. Yikes! I changed the subject.
• Took a couple of really cute pics of me and my nephew with his new birthday present.
• Did some of my super secret project stuff. (Am I building enough tension in that, or what?)
• IM'd with Jack Bauer a bunch.
• Emailed friends.
• Had pork ribs for dinner.
• Had lunch a great taco stand down on Hwy 76 in/near Vista. (Oh, how I love authentic tacos. Open the southern border!! I need more tacos!) So this was actually the highlight of the day.

I told Jack Bauer that I was in bed blogging and he asked if I was live blogging sleeping. Humphf! I wish I could. You would see what crazy dreams I have.

Silence is golden

Everyone is out of house. It is amazingly quiet. I've got about 20 minutes to myself. Ahhhh!

Here's a picture of me with my morning coffee. My dad was in the Navy a million years ago. Jack Bauer and I picked up a mug for him a few years back when we were in Annapolis.

Army is much cooler than Navy! :D

Sneaky, sneaky

I'm sneaking away right now.

Shhhhhh.

Quiet time here in the morning. Thank goodness my body still thinks it is 2 hours later.

Ooops! Here comes someone. Gotta go hide.

Bye.
:o)

Hitting the skies

I'm off to visit the family in SoCal. Blogging might be kinda hit or miss, but I will have my laptop with me so I can escape all the craziness.
