Whew. Back at work, and I wasn't greeted by an angry mob, so it seems that no one noticed I was gone--either that, or I left things in pretty good shape for people to babysit my stuff while I was away. Thank Jebus.

Trip was very nice. I needed it badly. Not much to report on that--just did my usual: sleeping in, knocking around Starkville, and eating all sorts of lethal foods. God bless Waffle House and Dreamland.

Grandmother seems to be kicking along just fine. I always worry about her, but she amazes me by contiuing to do her thing just as she always has. Most active 86-year-old in a wheelchair you'll ever see. She finally released the quilt she's been working on for me for a couple of years. It's so awesome. I'll post a picture when I can.

Dad's still Dad. I do wonder what I'm ever going to do about his living situation; his house is still unlivable, though he continues to live in it. I guess one day there will be some sort of crisis there, but until then I don't really know what to do about it. In the meantime, he seems to be fairly happy somehow.

Was great to see Mom too, of course. Seems weird that I hadn't seen her since Christmas. We were spending a good bit of time together there for a while, and I miss that. We have a good time just bumming around. I did kick her ass two nights straight at Boggle. I was too wise to let her pull out the Scrabble board, though.

I was just telling Mary and Heidi that I had just about every kind of food I was jonesing for on my vacation. Mary asked what what miissing. I said, "Well, I didn't have a chance to get any crawfish, and I really would have liked to." They looked at me like, "Oh my god, it's true--there are people who eat those crawfish things, and one of them is standing right here next to us." Silly yankees. They don't know what they're missin'.

I like Southern girls. I like that they wear T-shirts and shorts to Wal-Mart but still put on makeup and fix their hair. I don't know what else to say about that, but there it is.

I want to go home and sleep. I showed up for work the day following vacation--isn't that enough, for crying out loud? I should be dismissed early. I do have a day to take off for my birthday coming up, so that's nice. You can take it anytime during the month of your birthday. Might take it Friday--dunno yet.

Strike's over!!! I should finally be getting a RAISE on my next paycheck. About freaking time. I've been working here for--wow, I've been working here for two years as of last Wednesday.

So what's going on with you folks?

Welcome back, glad you had a nice vacation.


On a side note: I looked outside my apartment today and uh, no Waffle House?

Thanks!! And I know, I totally dropped the ball on the Waffle House thing. If you want to know the truth, I had one all hooked up to the trailer hitch of my Mom's SUV, but as soon as I tried to pull away, a gang of waitresses ran out and put the smack down on me, screaming that I could take their Waffle House to Yankeeland only when I pried it from their cold, dead hands. Them chicks is TOUGH. ;)

I am very dissapointed. I thought, "well maybe they wouldn't let him take it on the plane."
Damn waitresses, don't they know we are in Bickford's hell!

Ack!!! If they only knew. Oh well, more for us!

And this comes from the people who eat . . . well, I have no idea what they eat, but I'll bet it's nasty.

I've missed you!

Yay for vacation. Yay for returning to LJ. Yay for forking over some of that Waffle House that I know you smuggled across state lines. ;)
