red starburst are my favorite

I am sitting in our hotel in Little Rock. Mom did really well traveling so we decided to keep driving. We will not check into the apartment until tomorrow night. We don't have to be at the hospital until Thursday. The trip was good. My dad kept the air conditioner on HIGH (yes HIGH) the entire trip. We stopped at the Mississippi state line, then we stopped in Olive Branch, Mississippi, for a Wal-Mart trip and at Chick-fil-A for drinks. We stopped again somewhere (I am not sure where) in Arkansas for dinner, and the again at a rest area about forty-five minutes from Little Rock. The Durhams and the Cordells and the Morrows sent us two huge boxes of snacks and a basket with note cards and crosswords and things like that. I opened a bag of starburst and I ate all of the red ones I could find. That can't be good this close to bedtime.

I just won my bid on eBay on the comforter for the guest room. I am working on the guest room stuff and I am not even home! Yay me! The comforter I wanted was from The Company Store and they ran out of the size I needed. I thought I would check eBay to see if they happened to have it listed, and they did! What are the odds? The only thing is the person that I bought from is a new seller so let's just hope I get the (right) item that I purchased. And The Company Store no longer has the shams to match, so maybe those will turn up on eBay soon.

Brooks was super-sad this morning when I left. He watched me load the car. He was very excited because I usually pack the car and then get his stuff and we go to my parents'. But today I said, "No, Brooks stays." The look on his face broke my heart. Chris and I said a pretty quick good-bye since he had to be at work really early. We didn't really dwell on me leaving. But Chris did forget his eye doctor appointment tonight and I am not sure if he ate dinner...poor Chris. I miss them both terribly :*(
