Jun. 8th, 2009 06:51 pmToday has been exactly one year since I moved out of my home. It's been... a learning experience. I can't even reread the entries I made around this time last year because I get this overwhelming phantom homesickness that makes me feel like I'm doing it all over again because apparently I've got eidetic memory when it comes to some things. I'm so glad I never have to go through the first move away from home again. So glad.
My dad informed me today that he has the official word that he'll be laid off from his job in October. And that's just... awesome. The pros to this situation is that he's already retired, 55 and already done his 30 years, and this job is really just a way to earn more money. But it's a long drive and he kind of hates it, so. But still. Money. Economy. Just awesome.
I had my first undertow at work a few days ago and now I think I'm addicted. I'd seen them made before, but never had one. Basically mine was a half a pump of caramel, an inch of cold soy milk, and then you pull two shots of espresso into the cup. Instead of letting it fall right in, you hold a spoon under the espresso so when it falls into the cup, the espresso actually sits on top of the milk, forming a perfect double layer in the cup. The layering actually stays intact when you drink it and it's pretty much extremely awesome. This is yet another example of Starbucks = Stockholm Syndrome. :(
This Saturday my family who currently lives in Hong Kong is coming to town, so we're all getting together for a chili cookoff (and maybe my dad's peach cobbler to boot) so I'm really looking forward to that. The weekend after that my sister and I are driving down to Key Largo to spend the weekend and I absolutely cannot wait. Mostly I'm excited so I can stop feeling so freaking miserable.
ETA: Okay, maybe not SO miserable:
HOW MUCH OF A DORK IS HE IN HIS LITTLE SWEATER. Thank God for golf charities, apparently.
