Checkin' in halfway through my summer in the states!

Hello!

I'm not sure if anyone is really 'following' me anymore, but I decided I could still use this as my own personal tool to vent or just to write when I feel like writing.  Maybe for no reason at all!  So, cheers to you if you are still reading!  And thanks, I guess, for showing an interest in me!

I'm halfway through my summer in the states.  I have done, at times, a lot of nothing.  I have also made a point to see as many friends/family as possible.  There are still a few people I'd like to see and some I'd like to see again.  We'll see what the next month brings.

September 25th is my day of departure back to Spain.  I have mixed feelings about my return at this point in time.  I really enjoy being here with all the things I'm familiar with and the people I care about.  It's no surprise that I love Kansas and my family and friends.  I have fallen into the comfort that all this familiarity brings.  Part of me really doesn't want to go back.  I want to have the opportunity and hopefully take advantage of the second chance, but it feels much harder for me to leave right now.  In a month, I may be singing a different tune, but right now, that's how I feel. 

I've spent a lot of time on the couch at the Cook Ranch.  While I am super unproductive, it has been awesome!!  I feel pretty worthless, though.  I need to get my ass in gear for a little excercise and self-improvement.  I feel zero motivation because the thing I missed most while in Spain (aside from the obvious friends/family) was the food.  And all I want to do is take in everything I have missed while I am gone!  I've definitely taken in that delicious Taco Village on numerous occasions, but I'm still missing out on Red Lobster and Freddy's.  :)  I know it's not a good thing, but man... I've missed these goodies!!!  And spicy food!  Oh, I've missed it.  I'll get my mind worked out.  I will.  I've made it public knowledge, so now I have to hold myself accountable.  Definitely a little motivation there.

I've been doing some reading these past couple weeks.  I finished Tucker Max's third book, Hilarity Ensues.  OMFG, it's hilarious!!  It's raunchy, but if there are any young readers checkin' out my blog, check out all of his books!  They are hilarious!!!!  And they're all true.  He's the world's biggest a-hole (self proclaimed), but he's honest to who he is and what his intentions are.  Gotta respect that.  Anyway, his stuff is not for the faint of heart, but you can check out his site if you're feeling dangerous.

I'm just starting on the whole Fifty Shades of Grey thing.  I'm a little into the first book and I feel, almost naughty, reading it.  I don't typically fall into what everyone is reading, but I fought the Twilight thing (thank goodness!) and I still haven't done the Hunger Games thing (yet), but I decided to give in to Grey.  I'll let you know how that goes.  :)

Well, I'm gonna close on this short little entry.  Just sayin' hey!!  Hope life is good!!
