The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same.

I haven't been home to the Cape since Christmas. One thing I can certainly rely on when traveling home is that I know nothing has changed. Let's be real - it's Cape Cod, maybe one t-shirt shop is a candy store now, but that's about the extent of it. Whether I am returning from Virginia, Belgium or Boston, I know exactly what to expect. I like the comfort of rolling down 28 to see the Cape Cod Mall is still standing, somehow the Pancake Man is still in business, and I'm always curious to see what the old DQ by the Melody Tent will be this season. Remember the random picture of a dog on there? wtf.

Anyways, I really needed a weekend out of the city. I've been really busy, and not just with work. My mind has been all over the place, I've had so many "interviews" recently that I can barely keep track of them, and my apartment can get lonely with my weirdo roommates. I'm training for a marathon, I'm trying to get promoted, I drink too much. ahhhh so many things. Heading back to my roots was the perfect refresher, I feel great.

However, I must add - it's also the perfect reminder of why exactly I moved out in the first place. I know my Mom reads this (hi, Mom I fuckin' love you), and I'm SURE that she agrees. I like having my own space and doing and saying whatever I want, whenever I please.

Let me tell you, It was amazing walking through the door Friday night to a home ass cooked meal and wine and a big ass TV. aaahhh the perks of home are endless. I even started my laundry and magically it was finished with my second load the next day - what  whattt!!. I mentioned that I needed to go grocery shopping and my mom HANDS me her credit card. God, I love home. God, I love my mom.

I also discovered Friday afternoon after the office easter egg hunt (nips instead of candy) that I would be running the last leg of the marathon. Yup, no pressure - I just had to cross the finish line before our agency competitors. NO BIGGIE. So, I've been running as much as I can.

I went on my favorite route on the Cape this weekend - five or six miles. There was an obstacle course though. Apparently they are working on the bridge down Keveney Lane. I had to jump over some barbed wire and pass through the "trespassers will  be prosecuted" sign. WTF - this is my running route, besides what's the big deal? Oh - the bridge just ends. Like, there was just bridge then the ocean. I somehow jumped over. I figured this was great practice for Warrior Dash.

My parent's house is right by Gray's Beach now, or as I like to call it bASS HOLE :) - I've had several interesting nights at the end of that boardwalk. Need to get creative when you're at the 'rents house for the sum and bars close at 1 AM....

Today was the first time in four years I was home for Easter and it was fantastic. My first year away at college I spent it in the dorm, my second year I went home with my bestie, my third year I celebrated in Amsterdam and last year my boyfriend of the time visited. I made us an Easter basket filled with Jack Daniels and scratch tickets. This year's was great though I love my family and I love food and I love eating food with family so it was great. Also, I was visited by my favorite two little munchkins - my stepbrother's kids. They're the coolest kids ever, and I despise children. So that's saying a lot.

"being models" - she's adorbs.

Back to the grind tomorrow, but guess what? I'm looking forward to it! I feel so refreshed and my head is somewhat on straight. I have a feeling it's going to be a great week. PLUS Stepbrothers is on right now - great start.
