On the Road Again...

Happy Holidays to you all...

It's been a busy month...
(Retail sucks!)
(Dry-cleaning sucks!)
(Waitressing sucks!)
Okay, so the first, just cuz I had to stay until four in the morning a few nights to clean up...
The second because it seemed slow until the last half hour when it got super busy and I got out late...
The third because people aren't eating out during the holidays in order to buy presents and such...
But, actually, I love all my jobs, so, well, who cares?
...plus I happen to be lucky enough that I had Christmas off in all three areas...

...that, and they like me enough to let me take a month off...

So I drove down to Nebraska, all by myself, barely getting lost, making GREAT time (eight hours vs. ten), plus I left earlier due to some...complications...n I arrived just after four am this morning.
Ouch.
But I had great music the whole way, n I didn't go off road more than once (!), and after the first two or so hours, I didn't have any issues, no freak-outs, no crying fits, nothing.
A good drive, actually.
And, I figured out why I almost ran out of gas last year when I came down here...
Apparently I didn't stop for gas in Omaha but kept going on to Milligan...
Sometimes I'm such a dummy. =)

I'll be here for about a month, helping out and all, making things easier for Jess n taking care of Liberty and all...I'm totally psyched for the whole thing, actually, and I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew (for those of you who don't know, despite the fact we're thinkin 'boy,' the nurses actually couldn't tell, one thought 'girl,' the other thought 'boy,' etc.). It's nice to be here for the main event, unlike last time where I didn't mean Berti until Christmas.

Speakin of Berti, it looks like I need to get her cleaned up (think cheesy popcorn!), so I'll end now, but I plan on keepin up with this a lot more, so I'll ttyl...
