Hello, peeps.
I am still on vacation. I know. Crazy, right?
Where did I leave you? I was headed to the casino in my last post I believe. Well, that turned out to be a lot of fun. I lost about $40 out of my Winnings Fund that I keep set aside strictly for gambling. So, that was a no harm, no foul. When you consider that was an entire day's worth of entertainment and tons of fun... well, it was money well spent:)
After that there was a Rehearsal Dinner. The most notable thing from that event was the CUPCAKES. You read that right. Hand to God, I ate the best cupcake I have ever had in my entire life at the Rehearsal Dinner. It was so good, I ate a second one. Sooooo good. I should have taken a picture. However, I was in a state of delirium and didn't think of it. My nephew's wedding was the next day. I will write more on that later. A lot more going on at that event than awesome cupcakes.
We are now visiting my mom's best friend, my uncle, and all of the rest of the family that live in these parts. So, there is rather a lot going on every day. Ironically, even when there isn't... it feels like there is. You know what I mean? Yeah, like that. You know how easy it is with a best friend to pick up a conversation, even though a year or more has passed, just like you talked yesterday? It's not like that with certain members of your family. Just sayin.' Not naming any names, but there are some people in my family that are all lit up when THEY are talking, but as soon as you or anyone else says something, it's like you can see the light switch turn off. Let me tell you, spending time with those folks make for very long days. On the other hand, it does make you appreciate other family members all the more. So, everyone is good for something.
Anyway, we are waiting to get past the holiday before we make the long drive back south.
I think we will probably spend a few days in Georgia once we start moving that way, visiting with old friends who live there. Hey, why not? So, it could be another week before I actually sleep in my own bed again.
If you are traveling this Memorial Day Weekend - be safe out there.
