Lucky bamboo

I'm lucky.

I thought about that last night.

I told my neighbor I had a friend coming in from out of town and she laughed and said "you always have friends coming in from out of town!".

After thinking about it I realized she was right. I do have quite a few friends who live out of town :

Sara and Jo
Summer
Stephen
Christian
Mandy and Syn
Diane and Jason
Jeff
Terri
Zac

This is not counting the countless family members I have that live out of town.
I love weekends when they come to visit. About a month ago it was Sara, Jo and Jeff (with her comes K. and Susan), about two weeks ago it was Stephen, last week Christian visited and this week Summer and her new boyfriend are coming (with her comes Chancey).

If I ever feel unloved I need to remember all these people who actually go out of there way to travel and visit me. I feel so selfish because I never travel to see them, even with my brother being a manager of a airline. I am just such a homebody, though. I am sure that is a "trait" of me being a Capricorn. I like MY home, MY bed, MY animals, MY livingroom, MY kitchen and MY garden. I have never been on a airplane (except as a baby when mom and I flew back from Germany), I have never been out of the southern states and I am one of those wierd people who really don't like tourist attractions like theme parks and famous places.

I think that is why I "nest" as much as I do in my own home.

My mom says she hates vacations with me because I am always complaining about wanting to go home. The first few days are alright, but I reach my limit once I notice my cats are not around and I want MY home. I went to Six Flags once and hated it. I never want to go back. On the flip side I went to "Rock City" and "Ruby Falls" the next day and LOVED it. Maybe I am just a nature person.

In February Paul, I and his whole family are venturing out to Disney World in Flordia (if it is still there and only if Jess will be a love and feed my babies) for a whole week! I have never been away from home that long! The only thing I am interested in there is the "Haunted Mansion" and the animal one...I can't remember the name.

Anyhow...the point of this entry is to brag about how lucky I am for having so many great friends that come to visit me.

Not to leave you homebodies out either...I also have:

Jessica and Joel
Shanna and Brad
Jimbo
Katie
Kevin
Travis
Krik and Chris
Cindy, Tim and the boys
Renee
Gina and the girls
Kat

I hope I remembered everyone and just so you all know "I love you all!"
