I gave him my heart, and he gave me a pen.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

I have been neglectful, I have just been in a shitty mood.

We went to Las Vegas over the weekend, and we had a great time. The purpose of the trip was to see J's brother as he is being deployed to Iraq. My father, step mother, step sister and brother live there too. My FIL, MIL, BIL and step brother also came out. It was stressful, but, the best weekend I have had in a looooooooong time.

I have a weird relationship with family. I have felt for years that as long as we didn't live close together, we would get along better. I realized that isn't the truth. The truth is that I should not live with them. I have a sister currently living with me, and it is not good.

We were leaving on the red-eye Sunday night and I was actually sad to be leaving. We landed in Florida, drove home, and it didn't feel like coming home, it felt like I was just going to where I live. I went to work yesterday (that was a bad idea), and I just felt out of place. I tried to blame it on jet lag, but that isn't it. I don't know, I am just whiney, and this is why I haven't posted. I don't want to be a whiney blogger.

I just found out my dad is taking me to Vegas for my birthday! I can't wait!

What's funny is I felt the same way about my family; I didn't really get along with my parents until I moved out of the house. Now that my mom lives 16 hours away and I rarely see my dad, I kind of wish they lived closer.

That is a kick ass present. Where are you staying?

Grr, sorry to reply almost a week later... I suck at keeping up with comments.

I don't know where we're staying yet. Caesar's Palace? MGM? Somewhere like that.
