Home on the Range

It's been a couple of days since I've posted, and in that time I've traveled to Arkansas to visit my parents. I drove across Virginia and Tennessee to get here, and ended up stopping overnight in Bristol, TN to sleep and rest before I drove all the way here. It was a welcome relief to the usual drive, drive, drive until you get there that we normally do. It feels good to be home again!

Not too much is going on here, not too much has gone on since my last post other than the drive. I'm looking forward to going into mom and dads pool for a swim. It's overcast and a little cool, though, so I might be a bit skeptical about jumping in, because the water is probably going to be real cold. It can't be any colder than the water on the lake we jumped into up in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago...that water must've been 45 or 50 degrees! Certain parts of my anatomy crawled up inside of me for warmth! We'll have to see how cold it is here.

I just had a godsend on an apartment. I signed up for roomates.com and a lady emailed me telling me that she has a beachouse she wants to rent a room out in. It's furnished with utilities included, and only $600 a month +$200 deposit. I can more than handle that! It'll make my life so much easier being up there with a place to stay. I just hope she's okay with the two cats. I don't think they'll be happy, but we'll find out.

Nothing much else is going on around here. I woke up early this morning (got a phonecall from work) and Greg didn't get out of bed until almost noon. Mom made philly cheese steak sandwiches for lunch before her and dad headed off to work. Grandma is here now watching Erica, who is being a little pill! I'm trying to teach her to say "excuse me" and "please." She can say them when she wants to, she just doesn't do it. So I'm trying to coax her into it. We'll see.

Since I don't have much else to say, I'm going to cut this short for now. I'll try to post when I can as things go on around here, but, hey, it's Arkansas, not much goes on here ;)
