Home in Houston. It feels very normal to be here... nothing really all that abnormal or different. My parents are both thrilled to have me here; I think very much I get my way with words from them so it's interesting to speak with them at length.

Yesterday was fun - I landed in Houston around 1 Houston time, and just went home. Spencer took me with him to go pick up Matt on the west side.... and it's always fun to take a ride in the pimpmobile. Dad went with the three of us to a Gun Show out in Pasadena... which is a helluva long way away. Spencer's turned into quite the firearms aficionado - I think he's going to take me trapshooting in a couple days.

So far I'm just happy to chill. I might go see Ardy, or maybe go over to Caryn's place. My Mom wants to take a look at the benefits package information for the companies I'm interviewing with... so it's nice she's looking out for me.

We just got home from a brief trip out in the rain to get a Christmas Tree... tonight it's decorating time. So all's well here. Eating snacks...drinking beer.... I can't wait to get my grades.
