A Camping We Will Go!

Thursday morning I will venture off into the wilderness with my parents and younger sister. (And by wilderness I mean a camp ground located one hour north of my childhood home...) Anyway, after agreeing to go with them I began to realize how unbelievably homesick I am. I haven't seen them since February 7th - my dad's birthday. I'm so excited to spend time with them and get away from Birmingham for a few days. Of course I'll miss my Frank and our cat-children, but it will be nice to be away from work.

Here's where things get scary... I love my family dearly. I truly have fantastic parents and a great sister, but I can attribute MOST of my bad habits to them. I am so worried about the food they're going to bring. No doubt there will be sodas, chips, and snack cakes out the wazoo. My only redemption will be the ability to jog somewhere at the camp ground. Maybe I can convince Erica to go for a hike with me.

*sigh*

Welcoming Spring!

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. ~Ruth Stout
