Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'...

I can't wait to come back to Texas for Thanksgiving! I really miss home sometimes. I can't wait to see my family when I go back, especially Jacob. We've got some catching up to do! I'm also looking forward to eating some good southern food! I really miss good salsa, soft tortillas and breakfast tacos! (Is it strange that I don't think of those as Mexican food?)

I also miss cheap beer, especially Lonestar! I might have to wait 'til I go back to Austin to get that, since Bowie County is in denial about being a true, beer-selling, Lonestar-drinking Texas county. One of these days they'll wise up...

I'm also really craving some time in the wilderness. My happy place, the place my mind visits when I'm too frustrated or tired to think about work, is a trail leading up into the mountains, just me and my pack and food for a few days.

Some things I do NOT miss. Driving is probably the top of the list! I have not once wished I had a car, or wished I was back in Texas so that I could drive. I also do not miss Olive Garden, Chili's, Texas Roadhouse, Outback, Johnny Carinos, Cracker Barrel, TaMolly's or any of the other chains in Texarkana. (Ok, I sort of miss Chick-Fil-A.)
