Missing my Summers

It's been about, oh 3 or so weeks since I've been back in MD and I am missing it already. I will be back home in about a month or so, but it's not the same. It's summer, I should be at the beach, or a cousin's house, or going out for late night Rita's/froyo/ice cream runs. Lately work has been so draining. By the time I get home I just don't want to do anything. And it can get tough sometimes when you don't have anything to look forward to on the weekends. By all means, I always look forward to the weekends, just to be able to wake up late, lounge around, and not have to be anywhere. Also there are weekends when we do have plans. But boy do I miss those rowdy get-togethers and nights of loitering. A part of me is very excited to start a life here in OK. I am very happy with the new job (even if it's all day non-stop on your feet trying to solve the world's menopausal issues). And I am totally excited about the new house. However, 2 days ago I was driving to work early in the morning and a song by O.A.R came on and for a moment I just wanted to keep on driving West and end up on the coast of the Pacific Ocean :) This particular song always, always reminds me of my trip to San Diego. This song became my California 2008 trip theme song. Dang song kept playing over and over on our drive down there. But it was good. And I just love it when I hear this song. I can remember what it felt like to be driving down the coast with the ocean on the right and mountains on the left. It's probably the fact that I'm right smack in the middle of the continent and have no ocean within reach. What to do, what to do. A trip to San Diego would be the next best thing.....
Move over, Vi. We're gonna be heading your way! (hopefully semi-permanently in a few years!)
