First, an announcement: Kevin’s coming over for Christmas!! He’ll be here tomorrow night! So let’s all keep our fingers crossed that the weather isn’t so bad that his flight can’t land. (we’re expecting a snowstorm tomorrow.).

And now, on with our regularly scheduled programming….

Now that I know Kev’s coming over, I’ve got a more positive outlook on things; and have been listing in my head the good things about being here. Here are some, in no particular order:

• I get to drive.
• I get to see my best friend every weekend and spend time with the girls.
• My niece recognises me.
• Shopping with Mom like we used to do.
• Lots of baking.
• I get to see the newest episodes of everything on TV, like Greys Anatomy, and the Mentalist (and have recently discovered an affinity for a show called ‘Castle’, which is pretty cool.)
• Knit, knit, knit! Am a knitting maniac lately.
• Time with my parents.
• Every time I go out to buy cigarettes, I get ID’ed. (The smoking age is 18). That feels pretty good.
• Taco Bell, Wendy’s and Amigos
• Hersheys
• Netties (my favourite restaurant)
• Crab Rangoon at the chinese restaurants
• Old Navy
• DVR cable…pause live TV!! It’s amazing!

and a few others.

This being listed and recognised, I would still like to go home now. I’ve appreciated the things I’ve missed and now what I miss is Glasgow, my friends, my flat, and my cats.

So, please, everyone, keep me in your thoughts, positive thoughts about me going home. And if anyone knows anyone in the home office, please ask them to get their finger out and speed things along a bit.

Thank you everyone, I hope you all have a happy yule!
