Home and it’s been a long day, and at the same time it’s been a great time. My dad, Deidre and I have Tuesday night dinners together and honestly it’s wonderful. Occasionally I get to cook and clean up for someone other than me and then we watch the biggest looser together.

My day often starts at 3:30am and on these nights it doesn’t end until much too late to get a decent amount of sleep and it’s all worth it. After work I have been going back to the gym to get more cardio in and then heading over to pops to cook dinner. I think some sort of family dinner is a mainstay in my life. Growing up it was manditory, in college I found family with various groups and would often sit and share a meal with them. And now it’s back to the original, we look different and we aren’t fighting over who sits where and I’m no longer made to eat peas (yuck) our sourkraut (yeesh) and no longer am I made to put meat on my pasta… (thank you vegetarianism) but it’s home.

And regardless, if I remain here or eventually move again (not planning too anytime soon people, but it could happen) I think hope that family dinner’s will remain in my life. There is something comfortable about sitting and sharing a meal together and for a little while calling a group of people home.
