Alone again, ...............

Alex left a few days ago. Thursday morning to be exact. it didnt take long before the house just felt empty. it was actually. His game box and controllers were missing from the living room. His shoes and various pieces of clothing were no longer left in the living room, here or there. His room was suddenly empty and all the clothes were gone, stuffed into his car somehow. He did leave one small pile of clothes in the garage next to the washer that he no longer wanted. its not like the clothes were worn out, they werent. he doesnt wear is clothes out any more. I gave them to a friend who will give them to her grand children or some other kids that will be able to use them. I miss him already.

He is on his way to New Jersey, Mcguire Air Force Base. He is taking the low route, going through texas, Oklahoma and then up towards the east coast. He was going to go I-80, but that would mean he would have to drive through the snow and bad weather. It is snowing all along that route, so the lower route turned out to be a better decision, he hasnt hit any snow yet. His car has this system in it where he can talk on his phone and it goes through his speaker system. I can talk to him and feel good he can still pay attention to the road.

Anyway, the party we had for him turned out so good. Everyone had a great time and the DJ was absolutly AWSOME. He kept the music going all night long, and people danced all night, well at least until 11 when we had to exit the room. We ended up with around 50 people, and it was a blast. I dotn remembert if I wrote about this before or not. I put the pictures on my facebook page cus they load easier there.

Well, last night I had to work. it was my day off so i was forced in. I was hoping I would get to go home early, but that never happened. I am so tired right now, and I should take a nap, but I dotn want to waste the day away sleeping. I haveto go in sunday night at ten, rather than 12, so that means I have to go to sleep earlier tomorrow. It will feel like all I got to do this weekend is sleep. I want to do a little better than just sleep. I dont want to clean either, but I really dont want to sleep all weekend. what a conundrum for me.

Well, I probably should get off my tired ass and do something. maybe repack all the christmas ornaments into the box I bought to repack them in and put them in the garage so John can put them up in the rafters. maybe I could decide where to put the new wireless printer I got  for christmas. shuld I take down the old one? then what do i do with that one? I could give it to my friend, she doenst have a printer. I dont know. I also need to chnge the sheets on my bed, but then i may just fall down on it and then I would go to sleep and there goes the day.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well, I need to make a decision and I could go on for a long time like this, but then I would lose your attention, if I havent already. so I am off for now to decide. see ya ll later.

  3. So glad the party went off so well and everyone had a great time. I hope and pray that Alex makes it safely to the base and doesnt catch too much snow. As far as the printer goes...I would actually keep a while, just incase you find yourself needing it..hopefully you wont, but ya never know. (Have learned this from experience) Now..go take a nap! LOL

  4. It's kind of sad when kids leave isn't it? Hope you got your nap in.

  5. Besides the fact that he would have his car on base, why didn't he take a "military hop" and fly back to base for free?

    You guys sure treated him right! A going-away party! Awesome.

  6. I took that nap and it felt good. alex made it to Memphis, Tennisee yesterday. He said he hit a few patches of ice, but no snow. He only has 1000 miles to go and two days to get there so he is going to take his time for the next two days and only drive 500 miles a day. When he called, he was in a rolay crown hotel and they gave him a king room on the tenth floor for only 85.00. Pretty cool huh?

  9. I hope he stopped by Graceland - they were celebrating the King's birthday this weekend. Glad he didn't hit too much bad weather - I imagine he's not really used to ice and snow - but he sure will learn about it in New Jersey :)
