Homebody

Sometimes, my couch might as well be permanently attached to me, or is it I should be permanently attached to the couch? Anyway, anyone who knows me surely would say that I'm a bit of a homebody. I think having a family has sort of exacerbated this problem a bit, I just don't want to go anywhere anymore, at least not without the family. I just like sitting around watching Jackie do stuff, learn new things, explore, and have whatever types of adventures an almost two year old thinks they are having as they wander around the house touching and looking at things. I like watching whatever type of strange communications she has with the dog, they seem to understand exactly what the other one is doing, or wants. I like the sense of wonder.

I have to travel for work again today, I won't get to see Jackie until probably Thursday night. While we were away she was back in New Jersey having fun and we missed her, and I'll miss her again this week.

I used to love my monthly sometimes weekly trips to Denver, but since the wedding, and Jackie's arrival, I like them less and less. Luckily, the trips have been a lot less frequent which has been a blessing. I'm not saying I don't ever want to travel ever again for work (I'm sure that when we have teenagers, I won't be able to travel enough), but some times it can be a real bummer.
