Collin's Home!!

....so after a week of being gone, he's home! It's so very weird to me to have any of my family members gone. Am happy he's home. He confessed to me that last year he was incredibly homesick the entire time. And how he was so happy that he wasn't as homesick this year. Broke my heart to know that he was homesick last year and didn't say anything.

....Oh! Before I forget, my young man promoted to the next level of scouting...he's now a Second Class scout! Am very proud of him for his efforts. I know that you've all heard me piss and moan about the times that he appears to not give two shits about much. But he worked his buns off this past week and had a blast. So for that I am incredibly proud of him!

.... Friday afternoon one of the guys at work asked me what I was doing Monday evening. Aside from my main karate class of the week, I am not doing anything. So where will I be Monday? At a town council meeting, being the American face for my company. Sweet! The problem? NONE of my professional clothes looks anything less than a potato sack on me....I really hate to shop these days....for anything. So I'm not entirely thrilled by this, but I'm going to have to buy a professional set of clothes that doesn't make me look any more homely than I already am. *sigh*
