I’ve spent the weekend back at home, and had a great time! At first, I didn’t tell anyone I was visiting home, because I had so many plans and no free time, and didn’t want to say, “I’m coming home, but won’t see you” to anyone. I feel a little guilty about that but really, I didn’t have time!
On Friday, my mom picked me up and, although she tried to keep it a secret, she had a secret Indian food feast in the trunk. I smelled the garlic naan yumminess and the secret was out! We came home and Logan got a lot of love, and then we dug into the food, which I’ve been craving for a couple of months! Friday night was pretty relaxing. I studied a bit…couldn’t avoid it completely…and hung out with Logan, and went to bed nice and early…with Logan in a ball at my feet!
Saturday was spent with Mark and Noah, who just gets cuter and cuter and cuter. His language has exploded. I got into the car and turned around and said, “Hi, Noah!” and he waved and said, “Hi!” Last time it was work to just get him to wave at me! He was quite entertaining, demanding (”More,” “Doggie,” “Other doggie”) to see Logan and JoJo pictures. I loved being with Mark…wish I could see him every week, or twice a week again (didn’t realize what a luxury that was, eating sushi with him twice a week!) Saturday night, I attended Danny’s fabulous Halloween party, dressed in bat antlers. Mandi and I carved a pumpkin. Despite Mandi’s cutting off of the pirate skeleton’s eye and nose, we sort of won first place in the contest (we got second, but it was rigged to let the only kid win). It was really nice seeing everyone there, and Mandi and I solidified our next week plans (yayyyyy…she’s coming to visit! Downtown Sacramento! San Francisco! Napa! Spa! Food! Chocolate!).
Today I went to Oak Glen with my mom, a yearly tradition which I always enjoy. I was a little disappointed before I went, because I knew I couldn’t buy food to eat for weeks, like I usually do from there (apple bushels, apple pie, etc.). However…I thought of how awful Safeway produce is anyway, and conviced myself that I could squeeze some apples into my suitcase! They’re still sitting on my bed…I haven’t tried to pack them yet…
I’m leaving soon for the airport…and want to go spend the last hour with Logan!! It was a great weekend!!
