I am glad to be home. :)
Backtracking a bit though, on monday I picked up my car. What was supposed to be a quick "get in sign the papers hand over the money get the keys drive out" turned out to be a three hour long ordeal. Because I was taking the car to VA to get it registered and stuff, there's a lot of extra paperwork that needs to be done. The dealership was supposed to do that before I got there. But they didn't. Poooo.... So I had to sit around and wait forever until the paperwork was all sorted out. But then I had a new car! Yay!!!
Laura came over after that. She made my last day at home much more bearable. We watched PGSM and ate twizzlers and I used her as a pillow. I called ben while we were watching and I think we confused him. We also established that laura must be a princess because she can't remember her past.
The next morning I woke up far too early to pack the car, but still managed to leave later than I wanted. I was on the road by 10 and in traffic by 10:30. I continued to sit in traffic until after the merge on the NJ turnpike. Then for a short while I got to try out my shiny new cruise control.
But then I hot more traffic. Poooo. So at 2, my dog and I stopped for lunch. I bought her french fries. That made her very happy. Also the chance to pee after 4 hours made her happy.
Then back on the road, with lots and lots of traffic. Ben called me and we talked for a lot of it. That made the traffic a bit more bearable. Strangely enough, thinks started moving again when I got halfway through 495. I had really expected that part of the ride to be the worst. Especially during rush hour! I guess everyone was off from work.
Ben's flight was delayed, so I took a nap waiting for him. When I went to pick him up, I got to drive around the airport many many times while waiting for ben to get his bags. The police wouldn't let me stop and wait. Stupid police.
I was so happy to see ben again! I missed him so much! :) He looked like he was happy to see me too. :D
We got fast food for dinner because we were both too tired to make anything. Then went to bed. I was sooooo tired! I slept really well! Being home is a good thing!
Hmmm, I think now I'm going to go back to bed for a bit. Then I'm going to clean and do laundry and wash dishes. Oh, and pay bills. They are all due next week. Oh! And ship christmas gifts! (Now that there are no lines at the post office. Yes, I am a bad person.)
