Lunchtime-Vacation Update

Oh the joys of lunch time. 60 entire minutes to eat (usually taking up a measly 10 mintues), browse Facebook, and finish any other tasks like paying bills online (am I weird if I actually enjoy doing this?).

Once in a blue moon I will actually venture out into the world around me when I need to get something from the store or put gas in my car so I can drive home and not worry about running out in the middle of heavy traffic. So I was pretty proud of myself for remembering I was low on gas and should probably fill up on lunch so I wouldn't have to bother with lines and more traffic after work. As I was pulling up to the pump I had a slight panic attack as I was desperatly trying to recall which side of the car my gas can was located. Really? You go on vacation for a week and can't remember how to pump gas in the car you've been driving for over a year?

To answer my previous blog's question of whether I would lose myself on my vacation and break myself of the mundane tasks of everyday life...this was an apparent yes. Although I had no problem being taxied around by family it is a little discerning to think that going just a week without driving I would forget how to function in a car.

As for the trip? It was amazing. At first I was worried about leaving my home, my boyfriend, my job, my quiet room. But in the end, it was well worth it. For those of you who have me as a friend of Facebook, I apologize for the constant photo and status updates along with "checking-in" everywhere I went. I haven't truly gotten to enjoy all the nifty features of my phone and I just wanted to share all my experiences with everyone. One thing I could have lived without was the heat...I thought I would be completely prepared seeing as I am from California but oh was I wrong!

Many thanks to my grandparnts, Felisha and Dallas (yes you! haha), and the Fadelys. I have never seen a family so connected and ready to do things for others and have the patience to share Felisha and Dallas with me. It wouldn't have been the same without all of you and I'll never forget the memories I made on this trip. I hope to visit Texas again soon! I am determined to convince California, Idaho and now Texas to relocate so they are right next to each other. Wish me luck.
