Back to Texas

Well, vacation is over. It is back to the daily grind. I really wasn't looking forward to coming back to work and, as today is drawing to an end, I haven't changed my mind. If anything, I am wishing I wasn't here even more.

First, let's get everyone filled in about my vacation. OK, Pretty good flight up. We went to the Mall of America one day. Ate lunch there. Went to Snoopy land for awhile. I bought 2 pair of Van's at the Van's store. I made a karaoke video for my step-mom for Christmas. we rode the light rail from the mall to downtown and back. My nephew LOVES trains. We ate dinner at Hooter's. Left the mall and went back to my Step-mom's house. One day we went to Wal-Mart. Ate at White Castle that day. One day we went to meet a friend of my sisters. We went to eat at a pizza place then went back to here home and let my sister's kids play with her kid. One day we went to another small town and walked around looking at holiday decorations and then we ate at a soda fountain. Stopped at the park for the kids to play on the way home. Went to see my dad's tombstone. We spent most of the rest of our time at home. Just kicked back, reading books (I got finished with 2 and started on a 3rd), watching some TV, sleeping in, letting "Grandma Katie" play with the grandkids.

Now, I'm sure you noticed, this vacation REALLY centered around my sister's family. The ONLY thing I did because I WANTED to was to go to the Mall and shop at the Van's store. Now, don't get me wrong. It was a good vacation. It is just harder to enjoy when I don't have a family to share like my sister does.

Now to what you have all been waiting for - - - - - - - - - - - - the depressing part of the posting. Does anyone out there know just how many attractive ladies are at an airport? What about at the Mall of America in Snoopy Land? Let me tell ya: LOTS !!! And if it doesn't suck big ones sitting and seeing them all as they pass without so much as a tiny glance in my direction.... I sure don't know what does suck. That was probably one of the worst things I've had to experience in awhile. The typical "kid in a candy store" scenerio. And I hated it !! If I could stand not being near fast food places, I could really see me living in a small cabin in the middle of nowhere. I could be the Unibomber 2. Not that I want to bomb anyone. I couldn't even do that for pleasure.

Well, enough of my WONDERFUL life for now. Later.
