All My Bags Are Packed

“Good Lord, we’re only going home for the weekend,” Ryan said as he looked at my bags. Considering I typically live in my pajamas or bathing suit when I’m at home, I admittedly over packed for our weekend at my parent’s house.

In my defense, only the bright blue duffel bag is actually my stuff. Sadie’s dog goodies are in the other bag and the black bag on the ground is my computer which I need to keep up da blog. So there!  

A trip to see my family is always full of fun and food, and last night was no different. When we arrived, my mom immediately rattled off a list of everything she bought at the grocery store: deli meat, the fresh bakery bread with the specs of little nuts, six different kinds of ice cream (I’m not lying), Oreos (Ryan’s favorite), berries, pineapple, veggies, pretzels, Kashi cereal… the woman would not stop talking and my mouth would not stop watering.

Dinner was ready within an hour of our arrival.

I filled by plate with a bit of everything and also made myself a roast beef sandwich because I was dying to use the fresh, nutty bread.

Well aware of Ryan’s intense love for Oreo’s, my mom also surprised us with this fantastic Oreo pie for dessert.

My sister had not arrived yet and the four of us did a number on the the cookie pie. Only a small sliver remained… oops!

About an hour or two later I helped myself to a large bowl of Edy’s S’mores ice cream for two reasons: 1. I’m home and can eat like a kid again! 2. It’s Limited Edition! It could disappear at any moment. 😉

We spent the evening catching up and laughing while Ghostbusters was on the T.V. in the background. “Who you gonna call!?”

I went to sleep feeling (overly) full and happy. 🙂
