Time, definitely not enough

So far...lots of food, a little too much rain for a couple days making the worst traffic going from China Grove to Charlotte not good, wasting some time at Carolina Mall instead of a good rock climb on Black Friday wasn't my idea, weird games into the late night hours, watching Abby use her funny methods of figuring out math calculations in her head, tried to figure out why pictures of me as a koala & giraffe were on a Christmas tree, lots of movies(Casino Royale, Happy Feet, Cars, Over the Hedge), good time with friends & lots of family, experiencing the new "Wii," explaining to dad that owning a fast car doesn't mean I'm going to jail, showing Dave his future Aramark learning location, wondering why we need 2 Best Buy stores 10 miles from each other, holding Abby back from eating the world while trying to get Charlie to eat before Abby, still continue to fix computer problems even though I am on vacation(why me?), racing Paul and his new car(and winning), sneaking into the YMCA for free, having a great workout with mom and hearing her talk about the "good" muscle pain a few days after, surprising mom 2 days early at a Japanese restaurant by driving 17 hours straight from TX to NC, still wondering why the stereotypical life has to be based around lame work/careers making good vacation times the only good times, trying to get through the first holiday season without Matt around, despising leaving NC in 2 days, and then some...

Good to see...The Browns, all of the family, the Millers, Kristi & Joel(and little Joel) & Brett, Mike, Bett, Dave, Richard, Ken, Emily, Jerry, Scott and Anne's baby Lauren...etc. For those that had to work or were busy, I'll be back for Christmas.

If I lived at home still I would not be as "scale-friendly" after this week. Anyone want to be my own personal chef when I head back to TX next week?
