Home again, home again, jiggity-jig!
Jun. 14th, 2009 06:55 pmThat went more quickly than I thought it would! It only took a little more than two hours each way, thanks to 'Simon' (our GPS) finding a slightly more convoluted but much faster route. So, now we're all here... my mom, dad, brother and me. We had a roast dinner for lunch and I was good and had boiled potatoes instead of roast, and no Yorkshire pud :P
Anyway, my dad hasn't changed a bit XD He was 20 minutes late and, at the last minute, needed a pick-up from the train station. Then when we were packing up my brother's stuff, he vanished, and reappeared 10 minutes later with a shopping trolley that he'd got from God knows where O.o And then insisted that we use the trolley to move the stuff, even though it was near impossible to push up a steep and lumpy hill. Then he tried to bring stuff that belonged to the apartment and get my brother to leave some of his own stuff ^^; ...It's gonna be a long week.
Driving home was kinda funny. Even though we went in separate cars and weren't actively following each other, we kept ending up right in front of each other on the motorway and even arrived home after two hours still nose-to-tail. That's never happened before, so it was kind of cool.
My brother is a tall, quiet, gruff-voiced fellow now. It's funny because I'll always think of him as that chubby little kid who idolised me and spent hours playing awesome adventure games with me when we were both little. He's strong, broad-shouldered and a man now, which is kinda hard for me to accept, as it seems to have happened overnight (because I see so little of him). I hope we'll become closer over time again because once my mom is gone, we'll really be the only family we each have left.
I have a couple of ideas as to what song(s) I'll do when I do a voice-post... whenever LJ finally fixes the non-USA voice post numbers. Alternatively, I could boot up Adobe Audition and just record an mp3, but that takes effort.
I wonder how often I should weigh myself to see how I'm doing. I don't want to do it too often and get disappointed... maybe once per week?
Edit: Please?
Almost hatched!
