Colby is on his way home! He's spent the last five weeks at school in Montgomery, so while we've definitely had more contact than we do during his aeroplane flying trips, it's still been hard to be in this awesome new place without him. I can't wait for him to get back so he can start experiencing the city with me. And I plan to enjoy every moment he has at home, because from the sounds of things, he'll probably be spending the greater portion of the next three years away from home.
But before we explore the city, we're heading down to Florida for the weekend to visit some friends and see the shuttle launch eeeeeeaaaaarly on Sunday morning. Early as in, the launch is at 4:30 am and we're supposed to show up THE NIGHT BEFORE. And then stay awake for the black and gold Super Bowl! Heh. I'm sure it'll be fun, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm not quiiiite as excited about the launch as Space Nerd Captain Colby.
I'm also happy to say that I'm starting to feel more excited about blogging agan. I'm not sure I'll ever be back up to the once a day posting, but I've started adding blogs back to my reader and I'm feeling the urge to come here and write much more often than I have in the recent past. I'd pretty much deleted my entire blog roll just because of the pressure I felt every time I logged in by the hundreds of unread blog posts. I had also started to feel a quid pro quo pressure that every time someone visited here, I had to add them to my blog roll and start reading and commenting religiously. Before I knew it I was getting hundreds of page views a day, but I also had hundreds of blogs that I felt like I "had" to read. Anyway, point is, I'm getting back into it again, and it's so nice jumping back into blogs that I hadn't visited in months.
Well, Colby will be here in about 8 hours and I still have many miles to go to make it appear that the house has been spotless for the entire time he's been gone. I hope you all have a marvelous weekend and in honor of the Super Bowl, I'll say something that is embarrassingly grammatically incorrect:
Who dat! Who dat! Who dat say dey gonna beat dem SAINTS!!!
You're Welcome - from a faithful reader who does not have a blog, so you don't have to feel pressured into reading it. ;)

Sooooo - maybe Colby would be the one "child" that would be interested in my scrapbook about the space program from whence I was a youthling???

So glad he is coming home. Enjoy the time and have a *blast* at the launch. I have a photo of me as a young child with the 1969 apollo launch in the background. (Yes, I am old!)

Sorry the launch got scrubbed! Are y'all sticking around to try again tomorrow morning?

Glad Colby is home and that you're getting back into blogging! I don't know how daily posters do it, I think posting as often as you feel like is just fine!
