Miss me?

Well if you do, you're in good company. I'm told by people who I know well enough to know they wouldn't lie to me just to make me feel better-- that they miss me too! A lot has happened and changed since I last posted. I can't believe it's been almost a month!

Lets do this the rapid- fire way:

*~* Left Colorado for DC
*~* Stayed with Amanda in DC for 13 days- bonded with my God-son and attended Amanda's baby shower for baby 2.0.
*~* Attended a "foodie" expo in DC
       A few hours in the Morning was just for Military Spouses- really cool. Watched a 1 hour cooking demo by Guy Fieri (of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives)
*~* Met Dr. Jill Biden (was floored by the number of people who do not know who she is)

*~* Visited my Granny in NJ.
*~* Returned to Germany.
*~* Fought with my car and WON!
*~* Drank the Pinterest Koolaid and liked it. I'm friggin hooked! I'll be sure to share my favs.
*~* Missed blogging. Missing my family. Missing my friends.
*~* Still missing my man, and awaiting his return.
*~* Became the proud new owner of a Kitchen Aid mixer!! (I know you won't have to hear/see about it anymore on I Want it Wednesdays!!)
*~* Started Christmas shopping TODAY (crap I'm behind, especially if you allow for international shipping)
*~* Currently I'm still trying to acclimate to the time change. Out of the 5 nights I've been home I've slept through the entire night once. And tonight I'm up for the duration. Super. Hoping it pushes me over the edge for bed tonight.
   ~* Also, Currently still working on unpacking my luggage and boxes I mailed myself, but I've successfully washed the dust off of everything in the house. (scoff... priorities you know).

I think that's about it. I'll be elaborating on some of these things over the next few days or so. I think my bloggy-break did the trick. I'm more into it now. :)
