A LOOONG DAY..

Am I right ladies? I know I am...

Yesterday was such a long day. Boy child #2 had to go back to the dorms. When he came home it looked something like this.

But when he had to leave I was like this.

We had such a nice holiday with him. He's such a good kid. He's only an hour away but we sure do miss him and we don't get to see him nearly as often as I would like, which would be every day! 

On the way out of town we had lunch at Culver's which is this really awesome burger joint. The food is so yummy. My son opted for the triple Culver deluxe burger. I had the rueben and it was to die for! After dropping my boy at the dorms and checking out his awesome room. He's done a great job decorating. I headed over to my lit'l sis' to visit for a bit but not before snapping this handsome pic of my son's photo off of the "all people important" board at school. He's an RA (Resident Asst.), which means he helps settle the "newbies" in, makes everyone feel welcome, he's a mediator and an enforcer of the rules. He's also just your all around go to guy if you have questions about dorm living, college activities, classes, etc. He's there to point you in the right direction and to help make your college experience awesome. My son is phenomenal at this!

After saying my boo hoo good byes to my son I headed over to my sister's place and was greeted by these two blessed creatures, Brandy and Lilly. Brandy is the blond, Lilly the brunette. I just absolutely love these furry family members. They are just the best. They're not yappy, they don't jump on you. They greet you, show you their toys, let you sit in their favorite chairs, give you a lit'l bit of lovin' and then just let you visit. They are the perfect hostesses.

And then there is Mr. Kitty and my favorite - sshh don't tell anyone - Ping! Mr. Kitty is very sociable and will come out and say hello to everyone. Ping is much more selective and she likes to make an entrance. She doesn't like everyone but she LOVES me so I really feel like I'm in with the kitty in crowd.

Mr. Kitty and Brandy

And my beautiful Ping. 

I know, I know.. 

She actually belongs to my sister 

but she loves me too!

It was long day of traveling and getting in and out of vehicles, too much sitting but the visiting was great, however, when it was time to come home I was ready and fortunately for me a nice bottle of Riesling, a couple of Xanax and several dvr'd episodes of "Castle" awaited me and soon I had nodded off into a much deserved sleep of the dead! 

What's on my agenda for today??

Yep. Pretty much.
