Things
I have done while on vacation here in the good ‘ole Midwest:
Got lost in Wal-Mart
Cuddled
my beagle
Exercised
with mom
Coffee
with dad
Napped
Slept
in
Went
to bed early
Snarfed,
nommed, and generally devoured dozens of cookies.
Watched
roughly eighteen million shows about renovating homes, buying the perfect home,
and one show where you get to do both and then choose.
Things
I have not done:
Blogged
(or even written, L) with consistency or passion
Eaten
kimchi
Missed
my cheesebox apartment, my diet of peanut butter and eggs, or the Busan subway
system
Not
missed my friends in Korea
Taught
English
I’m
not a huge Christmas fan (call me Scrooge; I dare you) and I’m definitely not a
fan of New Years—yet another arbitrary date that signifies nothing except that
we are still breathing, our hearts beating, and 365 days have passed. Frankly,
I can’t be bothered because I’m busy soaking up the last few moments of
home-iness before hitting the road again.
Don’t
get me wrong—I’m going to Australia, New Zealand, and possibly Singapore on a
dream vacation; I’m not unhappy. But home is truly something special and
nothing to be rushed. As George Moore, an Irish novelist I'd never heard of before, said,
“A
man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”

 |
| Snowy time. |
 |
| Love having a car. Love driving. Absolutely hate hate hate scraping it off in the mornings. |
