A short week... hopefully

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. I remember thinking last week that I had so much to update but looking back everything is a blur and not much sticks out in my mind. That's the thing about work weeks, all the days just flow together and you get into such a routine that the only parts I remember are the weekends. I guess I better get use to it, I have another 40+ years to go.
As for the weekend, it went by way too fast. We arrived into a rainy Manasquan, but luckily the rain quickly passed, and it turned out to be a gorgeous weekend. I had two full days of sunbathing, and I could have laid out for a third, but I was pretty exhausted from the 3 nights of partying. The food, beer and company were all great, and I didn't encounter anything similar to the weekend prior. I finally met Lucy, Nick & Dana's Cairn terrier, she was so cute and sweet and reminded me of Buffy. Buffy was my cairn terrier who we had to put down in May 2003. Buffy lived for 19 happy years, and she has been greatly missed by our whole family. We got Kasey several months after and she is a little more hyper, but definately adds life to the Steinhauser household. Anyways, I played with Lucy all day, and she was the highlight of my weekend. I also met Nicks wife, Dana, who was very nice to me, and I enjoyed talking to her this weekend. I met lots of other fantastic people too, and it was nice to be surrounded by such great company.
I'm looking forward to this weekend because my cousin Andrea will be joining us once again for another weekend at the shore, and hopefully this time she won't hook up with a 40 year old! I hope this week flys by! Today at work seemed to go by a little faster than usual and I think I finally might start to enjoy my job. Not that I didn't before, it's just taken so long to get the hang of everything.
I got a card from my mom and dad today, and although I love it here, I still miss home a lot. I cry when I think about all the little things I'm missing out on. Like Dad screaming at the dog, or Ashley freaking out about NOTHING. I definately miss my moms food, hugs, and just her being there in general. I still feel like I little kid. I look at myself everyday before work and think "this can't be happenning." I want to ride my bike to 7-11 and run through the sprinkler in the back yard. I want to fill up the plastic pool in the backyard, and drink KoolAid.
The reason I love the shore so much is because for one day a week, I can act like a kid again. I'm not sitting at a desk glancing at the clock every minute, or thinking about what I am going to eat for lunch at 9:00am. We're out in the sun, laughing, and goofing off.
Well that's all for now... goodnight all ~
