Visiting home

I'm visiting my parents right now, and it's been a while since I've been here. Not sure how long, maybe since Christmas, or maybe sometime after that, but it's nice to be home sometimes. My mom spoils me. Seriously, there has been fat kid food galore. Ice cream, cannolis, carbohydrates in every form...yup, it's probably a good thing I don't live here anymore, or I'd weigh 500 pounds. Still, there are some nice things about being at home:

1. Old friends. I spent the evening watching the Academy Awards and playing cards with some people I have been close with since the dawn of time or, more realistically, second grade.

2. Tom Hanks' very brief announcement of the best picture winner. Seriously, the guy didn't even say who was up for it. I heard "Blah blah Ingrid Bergman/Humphrey Bogart winner is Hurt Locker." I swear the director lady hadn't even made it off the stage yet. Still, I was happy, because then I could go home and eat more of the fat kid food that is sitting here with my name on it.

3. Pomegranate Lemonade. Not only is pomegranate lemonade delicious, but for some reason, whenever I come home, it is warmer here and the snow stops. So it was warm enough to drink the lemonade and pretend it was summer. Always a bonus.

4. California Dreams reunion shows. Ok, so it wasn't a full show, but check out Jimmy Fallon's show site to see the CD cast all together again, singing the theme song while Sly shows off his incredible abs. Mind you, it's been a zillion years since the show was on, so they have all gotten old, but it's definitely worth checking out if you've got some time and you ever liked the show.

And now I'm sleepy...
