friday blues

So it's Friday, I'm tired of being productive (! at 8:20am) and I am feeling sad about missing out on lots of things....so....prepare yourself for Charissa's homesick list...because it's growing by the day.

1) Today is my little sister's recital. My mom, dad, sis, brother-in-law, unborn niece, and 2 of my aunts and uncles are all going to Virginia for Maria's senior recital. This is a big event in her life and I'm sad to be missing it.

2) 2 days ago one of my best friends from my old job had a baby! and I'm not even there to meet her!

3) Another bff from college has a little baby growing by the day and I can't be there to see him doing all kinds of crazy things either.

4) Vegetables. yes, I know this is weird, but I miss them so much! When I do see them they are usually cooked...and even that doesn't happen every day. Oh summer garden how I will pillage and plunder you for delightful treats when I come home.

5) Olive Garden.  right now its number one on the list. A decent plate of pasta (that doesn't involve ketchup in the sauce) and a warm breadstick.

6) driving my car! I can't wait to see my Taurus again (say what you will)...turn on the tunes and drive wherever the heck I want (as gas permits, of course).

I think we'll leave it at that right now. No sense letting my emotions run away and forget that I still have a whole day ahead of me. Not to mention 15 weeks til any of these things can be realized.

And on a completely unrelated note, but fitting in with the "blue" theme...

I designed a t-shirt for our MCC Honduras team and worked with a friend here in the neighborhood to print them for us. It was really fun and I was so proud of how they turned out. So, enjoy!
