Yes, I'll miss The Real Housewives and Top Chef and whatever other new show I'm bound to be addicted to *BUT* I'm doing something better. I got off my stripey-tight covered butt and am hitting the road!

It only takes 158 days or so, 6 different UW program changes, 2 jumbo-sized boxes of tissues, 3 surprise vaccinations, countless re-packing of your backpack and your entire piddley life savings to get to Cambodia, Thailand, France, Italy, Spain and New Zealand... Wowie bun bun!

Let's see how I do...

Home!

Here's where I started crying:


Man. I can't believe I'm home. I'm ready for it but it's overwhelming. I don't know what to do with myself. Like, where do I even start???

I bawled my little head off when Kathy picked me up from the airport. It was just seeing a familiar face and that feeling of home right away. The life I left 6 months ago no longer exists. It's so strange. I'm teetering between complete terror and absolute excitement. I have no job, no apartment, no partner... everything is different. I keep telling myself that it's all going to be okay and that things will fall into place for me. Adrienne has made it her personal mission to find me a place (so sweet!) and has already found me a house to watch for a couple of weeks. It's nice to know I don't need a place until July. Save some money!

So, it's my first day back. I woke to this:

Kathy's girlfriend, Heather, made me a pot of coffee this morning. I guess this is how Kathy lives now, with Heather bringing her coffee in bed, taking out the animals (there are 4 dogs here currently), and bringing her laptop to her so she can wake up slowly perusing the internet. I certainly never did that shit. (SCORE Kathy!) I am happy to be the lucky recipient of overflow!

After crawling into the garage that housed my car for 6 months (the door is broken, so Kathy had to go in through the window), my baby started up right away! I was fearing the worst- jumper cables, flat tires, rats in the engine... So now I just have to get my tabs renewed and I'm off for a haircut (CAN'T WAIT!) and some apartment hunting. I look forward to a lunch from Seattle Deli (holla!) and seeing what, if anything, has changed about my favorite city while I've been gone.

I'm home. Crazy business!
