California Dreamin'

What a BEAUTIFUL day it is here in the OC. I should be at the beach soaking up some rays,but instead I'm here with Jax waiting for the workers to finish Super Sister's kitchen. Honey has already left Arizona to pick me up so my chances of hittin some waves are pretty non existent. My sister asked me to stay longer,but a Doctor appointment and an interview prevent me from doing so. I'm hoping to have my driving restriction lifted. I told her after the appointment I would come back. I was toying with the idea of taking the Amtrak. The particular route I would have to take is one that goes across the states and ends up in Florida. It only goes through Arizona on Thursday and Sunday,but the not so fun part is that it's arrival/departure times are at 11 p.m. Taking into consideration that the train station is an hour and a half away from home is kind of a downer and I don't know if they would let the car be parked there for a week or so. I had pondered taking the train back today,but unfortunately I also have a lifting restriction to add to the driving restriction. I could leave some things behind if need be. Seeing that I brought my Wii and laptop I'd have to leave my clothes behind because I rather be naked than leave my toys behind! I usually over pack for my trips. Over packing means sometimes I'll bring the lap top,camera and scanner or depending what art medium I'm into I'll bring all that along. The Cub's say that if mom can't fill the trunk somethings wrong. I fill the trunk of things that I bring back with me,not with things I leave in california. When Honey and baby Cub left Sunday they had a backseat filled with stuff to take back. My grandma had gone thru her lace/ribbon stash and gave me treasure upon treasure and then she went through her thread stash and gave me spools of gorgeous embroidery thread. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work with my machine. I had also bought Lola a sweater,a snowbunny jacket and a perfectly pink crate. I have no daughters,Goddaughters or nieces so my puppy love and Jax are the next best thing. Call me crazy but sometimes the fluffiness in me just has to come out. It's funny to me that I even have a "fluffy" side because I am by far a "fluffy" kinda girl. There was a point in my life that I had a mohawk and yes my hair has been blue,purple and even blonde! There is still a Punker gene left in my body and I know that the middle Cub has it. When I leave tomorrow morning,I know I am going to miss Jax. We've come a long way in a week. I will have to leave Super Sister a list of when Jax has to go out and which stick she likes to fetch best. I can't wait to see Lola and I wonder what bad habits the Cubs have shown her or let her get away with. What can I say, My life has gone to the dogs!
