Since I've moved to Tampa many people there...and even family here...will correct me when I continue to call NC "home." However, as many of you would agree...home is where your family is, where you feel more comfortable than any other place in the world, and where you can't wait to return. So I consider myself "home"... with the best, most incredible family around! And of course, Bill is here too...in conversation, shared stories, laughs, instructions (i.e. "Honey..make sure you update the virus protection on your computers there :)), and spirit - no question.
My trip here has been awesome and exactly what I needed. My mom and dad have graciously hosted not only me, but Maxxis and Kenda. They've kept their own cats 'contained' so that my babies can have the run of the house and not leave with anymore battle wounds :) Maxxis and Kenda might as well be at home too considering the excessive treats they both received yesterday while dad was puppy-sitting (that's right, dad...I noticed how much I had before I left) and the fact mom lets Maxxis cuddle up on her couch...just like we do at our house. I think everyone likes each other equally :)
Mom and I have certainly enjoyed some retail therapy and before I explain...I KNOW retail therapy (same as camping out with a pint of Ben and Jerrys) is NOT the way to deal with separation from Bill. But when I truly don't shop for myself much at all....even Bill said "good for you, honey" :) So now...I explain: I got myself this FABULOUS purple, tailored, and pleated coat. It is SO sassy and I'm in love with it. Who cares that Florida hardly dips below 50...I've always said, it's not how comfortable you are, but how good you look! And dang...this jacket looks GOOD! (pics to follow for all of you who know I'm "apparently" obsessed with purple)
Today mom and I go in search of rugs for the Tampa house. Our puppitos are having a ball with the carpet and if I want it to survive the year...we have to do something. Mom says "ollie's" has area rugs for $60-70 bucks! I'm psyched!
Lovely stay at home...awesome family...memorable time.
