I went to visit my parents this weekend - a trip that's been in the works since Christmas.
It was bittersweet to spend time with their pugs - made me miss the old beast, but as Dad promised they put me right to work - they had a party today for President Obama's inauguration.
So we did party prep and we did it big.
Here was the table, laden with chow:
It was a terrific party - all the other liberals in the neighborhood came. I love that my parents have friends in their neighborhood - it makes me feel better about not coming down as often.
It was a good weekend, but I'm exhausted. Right now I have some clothes in the washer and some in the dryer so that I can pack a bag - I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon to spend a big ton of time in Ohio.
Ironically, my rental car is from Ohio, or has Ohio plates, at least.
And speaking of...
They totaled Dixie.
So, once I get back from Ohio, and the money arrives from the insurance agency, I'll be car shopping.
I can say one thing with complete certainty.
My next car will NOT be red.
Other than that, who can say?
Time for a bath - gotta do my pre-travel shaving.
I know, I know - too much information.
As usual.
