What to do...the Home Edition...

Well, folks, it's only 12 days away...wow. Can you believe it? I will be back on US soil in less than two weeks! And not a moment too soon! Let me just say, while I have had my fair share of trouble finding things to occupy my time here, I have created the ULTIMATE list of things to do (as well as eat) when I arrive back at home. Seriously, I have probably put more effort into this than homework lately (a good thing?...). In no particular order...

While at home, I have to...

- Perform "The longest hug EVER" in O'Hare International
- Hang out with my family and friends!
- Webbs?
- A Wicked Chicago Excursion
- Walk aimlessly through Wal-Mart (c'mon, I miss it!)
- Target, as well
- Catch up on "the shows"
- Play with the niece for a good 4 days straight
- Assist Jessi in planning the Wedding of the Year (next year that is...)
- Literally sit in my room and do absolutely nothing
- Use the oven (again, I miss it!)
- Cook A LOT for the fam and friends
- Drive...a lot...
- Play with niece some more!
- Texas Wedding!
- Do not think about the current school situation while planning my future years
- Make people laugh/smile
- Watch good ol' movies including "Clue"

While at home, I have to EAT...

- Pumpkin and cream cheese bread (NO idea where this came from, but doesn't that sound AMAZING!?!?)
- Bacon and horseradish dip (same explanation as above)
- Anything but pasta
- A hot dog (same explanation as the Wal-Mart item)
- Gramma's pork and potatoes (mmm....)
- Apple / lemon meringue pie
- Nachos
- FAST FOOD!
- Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich with a medium fruit punch and a Caesar Salad
- Culver's Buffalo Chicken Tenders with cheese curds and a vanilla shake
- McDonald's double cheese burger Mighty Kids meal with a blue PowerAde
- Burger King onion rings
- Quizno's...anything...
- Noodle's & Co. Japanese pan fried noodles with chicken, lemonade, and flatbread (guess I lied about the "No pasta" thing...but Noodles & Co. is always an exception!)
- Starbuck's Holiday Drink (the peppermint hot chocolate...yummo)
- Pretzel Maker original salted pretzel with honey mustard
- ABC Chicken salad sandwich with salad/soup
- Great Wrap's Tupelo Turkey on a spinach wrap with fries and lemonade
- JIMMY'S GROTTO pepperoni ponza rota!!!
- Barbierie's (SP?) pizza and garlic bread...yummo!
- Tuna Casserole
- Chancery food
- Chicken, cream of mushroom, and rice casserole
- Sunday ham, cole slaw, potato salad...
- BP CHICKEN!!!

This is sick...right? Well, I don't even care! I will probably gain more weight at home than freshman year of college...that's backwards...

I'm so excited for you to come back!!! I can't wait! I'm very sorry that I won't be able to come get you from O'Hare - but you'd better get in touch with me as soon as you are back. When does your flight get in? I'm so EXCITED! And let me know how many of those things I can help cross off your list :)

PS Would you be interested in being a guest speaker in some of my classes? We can work out an educational angle on it!
