From Whence You Came

Once again I have traveled back into America's sweaty crouch, otherwise known as South Florida, to help my parents with their move.  After a 4AM drive into Kansas City that included London-style fog, a hitchhiking deer, and my lovely locks being licked by the sweet morning dew as my dome hung out the car window @ 60 mph, Nickie and I arrived at MCI Airport in time for me to board.  I am glad she waited an hour and made it home safely.  From my windowseat the plains of Kansas/Missouri looked like the upper canopies of the Amazon Rainforest.

The Jerbinator was all too quick and eager to pick me up.  In return for such a favor, I didn't check a bag.  Had my Afternoon (veggie) Delite by taking an entire Whole Publix Sub straight to the food hole.  Spent the rest of the day packing, stacking, and slacking.  Was able to get a few more boxes into the Lippin-Pod before pickup/dropoff tomorrow.  Finished the evening with a delicious homecooked meal by my wonderful mother.  After dinner was cleared by Jerb and thirty minutes had passed, we swam awhile in their insanely warm pool.

Looking forward to seeing my sister Vanessa tomorrow.

What follows is a short list of things that only happen when in Jerby's presence:

Times Jerby has described the move, the house, the future as "weird" = 19
Times Jerby has said "Piece de reisistance" = 2
Times Jerby has worn ankle-length "night wear" = Ongoing
Times Jerby's had the hiccups after a meal = Every

P.S.  I'll try to post some pictures before I leave, for flippin' sakes!
P.P.S.  This is a blog-off, I challenge Nicolette to post more than I do before I get back to Lawrence!
