One and Only

So I did that thing that you see in 80's movies when the girl gets asked out by the popular guy to the big dance. I flopped on the bed, screamed the loudest scream and kicked my feet like a giddy school girl. Why you ask? Because I packed up EVERYTHING and now I can sit back and relax. I mean that is what I am telling myself as I scan every room in the house to make sure that I am not forgetting something.

I can not wait till I get the heck out of here and back to NY. Not that staying here was horrible, but it was not easy. I don't like people who knock on my door at 6am to ask me if I have the portable phone. I never do because nobody ever calls me on the house phone and I never call out. Even if I did have it, if they paged it, they would know and that rude awakening would be warranted. The worst part about it was that when the kids were in Florida with their dad, he would call at 1am and since there is a phone hooked up in our room, the phone would ring and wake me up. At one point I unplugged the phone and went back to sleep, only to get yelled at because apparently the answering machine is also in my room. Ooops. Anyway I can say that my stay here was long enough and I am ready to be out.

Nick says I am just excited to be home, and that is quite true, but I think honestly, I knew that this moved was coming for a really long time. I still am not supposed to talk about it, but I have know for over 4 months! I have stayed quiet for a long time about it, and since his co-workers don't check my blog, odds are that he won't be fired before he gives notice after his year mark, which is Tuesday. The best part out of all of it is that I finally have five CNY things back in my life that I really love.

1- Midyork Public Library System- You honestly don't know what you are missing until it is gone. I miss REAL libraries more than anything. I haven't read a book in over a year (unless you count the Twilight Series) and I am due for a good read!

2- O'Scuggnizzo's (pronounced O-Skin-Eats) - which is the place I know that has the BEST foccacia sandwiches I have ever tasted.

3- Packy's Pub and Cavallo's Wing Nights- There are places down here that have wing nights, but sadly the wings are sub par, and people put breading on them. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ABOUT? Pat maybe you can explain the obsession with Jersey people liking breaded wings.

4- Saranac- The Saranac Nights in Utica at the Brewery, as well as the Seasonal mix cases. They are something that I have missed for a while, and I think that when I get home I am cracking open a nice Pommegranate wheat in honor of my move! Though I will be moving in the middle of the night tonight, so maybe I will have to wait till tomorrow afternoon.

5- Last and probably not least. My friends and family. Almost ALL of them are there. Nick's are kind of scattered over four states, but mine are all in NY. It's nice to be close to them, and I can't help it if I am a sucker for CNY.

I <3 CNY!
