It's going to be
a quiet holiday around here this year. Taylor decided to spend a few more weeks in WV with her grandparents, so instead of going and picking her up today, I went to visit her instead. Read: drive two hours, pick her up, feed her, buy her some stuff, give her some more money and come back home. I did stay and chat with mom for a little bit, and dad and I had our typical "how's the car running...do you need any money...how's the job going?" banter that we usually engage in. I would mention my conversation with my mom, but it's never very positive and basically exhausting.

I admit it. I'm kinda disappointed that Taylor opted to stay in WV for two more weeks. But I can't say I blame her. It's hard to make new friends in the summer, and to be honest, some of the kids I'm seeing around here are...well...strange. Or, they seem that way. Plus, with Lou and my work schedules, Taylor would be stuck in the house most of the time anyway. So, better she enjoy the summer back in WV with her friends. She'll have the school year to make friends and make a life here.

Right now I am home ALONE! Lou and Jake (the friend I mentioned in an earlier post) are having a "boys night out". As long as it doesn't end with the need for bail money, I'll be happy. So, I'm sitting here after just taking a shower, sipping Dr. Pepper and debating about whether I want to make a cup of Suisse Mocha coffee. I think the answer is yes. LOL

So, I'm going to put some water on for the coffee and then I'm going to start working on my book again. I really want to finish it before the summer is over...and I means final edits and everything. A book deal would be a pretty cool Christmas present, don't you think?

Later!
