Mom and I went up to see my grandparents today. It was actually a really pleasant visit. We got to spent all day up there, just hanging out and talking and chatting. Nana telling stories about when she worked in Washington D.C. during and after WWII. Stuff that I'd never heard before. And then it was out to dinner at a restaurant that served more food on one plate than any twelve people could eat. After that, it was a quick trip to see my uncle, aunt and cousin... finally gave cousin K. the dvds i promised her at christmast. All my concert video from the last few years and a few albums worth of music that I thought she'd like.
And now I'm home watching the end of Independence Day.
Tomorrow.... is planless. I'm going to see if I can't get in touch with my high school BFF and meet up with her for ice cream or something. And then on Tuesday it's going to be a "Hey, hey, the gangs all here" kind of night. Me, both of my parents, my dad's college BFF, and our old next door neighbors, their daughter and her daughters. I'm hoping it's going to be as awesome as I want it to be. These are the people who pretty much mean the most to me in the world. I'm a heck of a lot closer to them than I am most of my family, and it's kind of a big deal to be getting everyone in the same place since my parents divorce (thank god Mom and Dad can play nice most of the time.).
And after the dinner, I'm heading off to Dad's to stay until Monday. During which time, I will hopefully finish the cleaning out of his apartment of clutter that I started at christmas.
My vacations... so boring. But I like them.
Ugh.... but I do have to put an hour or two in on work tomorrow. Why, oh WHY did I agree to telecommute?
Oh, right. So I'd have plenty of vacation time left for Christmas and concert shenannigans.

I like them. I like setting them off more than watching them. I prefer watching them to just hearing them (that can be unpleasant actually). Tonight we (my father, sister, a friend of hers) went to watch the show on the river. It was nice. It was a year ago that CG and I first met. It was at a party, and there were fireworks. Tonight I had the next best thing to her being here (well, no, second best. I would, perforce have preferred to have commodorified present, if CG couldn't be here, and vice versa). I had CG singing on my iPod while I watched. The last bits of the show I was listenig to Fernando, while the mist of the river drifted like smoke over the hillside I was sitting on, and the crescendo of lights was being blanketed by the powder of the bursting charges. Not as much fun as loading the tubes, and running the wire, but I didn't have to strike the frames either. On balance.. a pretty good evening.
