I’m back.  I experienced unseasonably warm weather while I was in New England, due to some tropical weather systems they had move through there.  I stayed in NJ with Uncle N Period and Aunt Bird, and on Monday morning when Uncle N Period was driving me to the airport (at 5:30am), it was 80°F.  And humid, let’s not forget.  But it was good to see my family and attend Grandma’s memorial service.  I also saw my nephew Bubba, who is now 15, taller than me and as skinny as a rail.  I’ll see everyone again next month, when Mister and I finally take our honeymoon to visit the family and New England in the fall.

I was so excited to see Mister when he picked me up at the airport Monday afternoon.  I miss him so much when we’re apart.  Like now.  Oh yes, now.  He’s in Houston for work, cuz he works in insurance so he needs to be there.  I dropped him off at the airport last night and won’t see him until Sunday at the earliest.  I’m hoping to get some stuff done around the house while he’s gone, but I always say that when he’s away.  Tonight, to kick off my lofty plans of getting stuff done, I went shopping at Target, came home and made myself a dinner of macaroni and cheese.  Not even the good kind - it was the store brand boxed kind.  Then I watched HGTV and *gasp* 90210.  I’ll tell you what, though - I won’t be watching 90210 again.  They say you can’t go home again, and that goes for the TV shows of your youth.  Reruns, fine, but a new generation?  No thanks.

I’m glad I took an extra day off when I came home.  I took Tuesday off as well, which worked out just fine because I got to spend some time with Mister before he had to go.  I did laundry for him and spent some of the day setting up my new computer.  My old computer just doesn’t have the capacity to do what I want it to, and rather than upgrading it we decided to get me a new one.  At first I was just going to use the laptop as my main machine, but after spending last week before I left transferring all my stuff from the old computer to the laptop, Mister wanted to take the laptop with him to Houston to have something to do when stuck in a hotel room without BBC America.  He said it wasn’t fair for me to be without a computer when he’s away, so we got me a new one.  It has a CD compartment on top a cupholder and everything!  We also got me some new speakers because the ones I bought in 1999, while they do technically emit sound that resembles what I want to listen to, they had this nauseating, AM-radio effect on my music.  So new comptuer, new speakers, and no Mister is where I’m at this very moment.

I’m finally getting around to reading the Harry Potter books, thanks to Mister’s influence.  I finished Goblet of Fire on the airplane back here, and started Order of the Phoenix yesterday.  With the delay on the latest movie, I’ll be done the series and will know what I’m looking forward to by the time the next movie comes out.  Speaking of which, I think I’ll hit the hay, read a bit and fall asleep with the book open on my chest.  Only Mister isn’t here to put it away for me and turn off the light.
