OK ~ SO I CAN'T STAY AWAY
Only 24 hours into my vacation and I am on the Internet blogging. But I missed a whole week of not communicating with all you guys. So I am bumming some Internet airwaves from the next door neighbor's wireless setup. Shame on me.
Seriously, I am simply at the halfway point of the road trip up north. I'll be leaving from my mom's house in the SF Bay Area later today with all the goodies loaded in my car, and her, for the FINAL DESTINATION - Lake Tahoe. It was so good pulling into the East Bay yesterday...that home feeling came back. I just don't know if I will ever get northern California out of my system. It is so vastly different from southern California - at least I think so. I managed to see my brother's recently purchased home that he has been remodeling under my direction, long distance most of the time. He's done a pretty good job of implementing the plans I laid out for him and even the furniture I selected for him looks great. He's excited and that is what matters most to me.
After the bro's house I headed back up to mom's and there I crashed for three hours. I am still feeling the sleep DEPRIVATION (does the word look familiar?) from finals. But boy did I need it and did it feel good. And then the biggest event of the day for me...an actual home-cooked meal. I haven't had a decent meal in over ten days, thanks to all the work leading into finals week and then studying, building, etc. There was no time to cook so I often simply nibbled on something in the refrigerator, had McDonald's, or ate Taco Bell. Needless to say I dropped several pounds. I am down to 183 and I know I have lost muscle mass. Really discouraging after spending four months building up 20 lbs in mass. I am down 10 lbs. now.
Now your probably thinking, "what did he have for dinner?" Pan-seared, thick-cut pork chops, fettuccini in a tomato herb marinara sauce, sliced avocado and Romano tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and wine vinegar, and garlic bread. That was finished off with a chocolate eclaire. Man, oh man was I content!
Guess it's time to shut down the computer as I'll be off shortly. But don't hang me if I slip back on to see a few comments. Hugs all!!

Tony what diet plan is that where you can eat Taco Bell and McDonalds and still loose weight. Are you sure you don't have a tape worm?
He does Pete - and he has named it "Harvey" - he has taken it on vacation with him and will be bringing it to Florida - wonder if United will charge him for an extra ticket?
mdinner sounded good
glad to hear you are doing well.
man o man - I want you Mamma to come to IL and cook for me!!! Have a great time in Tahoe!
Gald to read you're enjoying your much-needed time away from everything. As for the home-cooked meal, yum!!!!
Let me know if ya have any leftovers!
I'm gaining as much as your losing.
Lord, I wish I could be eating Mom's homecooked meals, McDonalds, and Taco Bell without gaining weight. As a short fucker and a sitdown-at-my-desk-all day job... I am cursed with pudge. I must do more cardio! I am glad you are enjoying time with the family and vacation! Good for you! I'll be right on the bottom of you (NV) on Thursday at 8:30am!
Pork Chops!?! What happened to my invite?!
those sunrises have sounded wonderful, I know your having a wonderful restful time, soak it up man!
I always blog on vacation. Maybe not as much. Besides, it keeps me off the porn sites!
o.k. I'm officially missing you now.
