Not Tan??!! How dare they say I am not tan!! I am tan!

Now that I am home and caught up on sleep I thought I should blog. I know people have been missing my post since I blogged so much while I was in Israel. I think my posts are so popular because of the clever nature of my blogs. I was known as the witty one while we were in Isreal.
As most of you already know, or have probably assumed, I am back at home safe and sound. My trip home was long and tiring. Actually, the trip was not bad until I was on my flight into Chicago. My flight into Canada was late and by the time I grabbed my bags, went through customs, ticket lines, and security, I barely made my flight. I have decided that I hate flying into Chicago. The flight was so bumpy and the landing was the scariest part of the whole ordeal. I was more scared while we were landing than any point in Israel. After landing we started our six hour trip home. All I did the next two days was sleep. I could not keep my eyes open.

It has been an interesting few days. And by interesting i mean that my life has been uneventful and completely boring. I must admit that I am slightly depressed from disappointment. All I want, more than anything, is to be back on the mountain complaining with Jessica about how we don’t want to be on the mountain. I think part of the reason for my depression is that I have been building this trip up in my head for five years and I want some closure. I want a picture of me in the sarcophagus. I want to climb into the cistern. Maybe next time I can help work on the cistern if Dr. Schuler opens that square again. Hmm...yes...this is a wonderful idea. This means I also have a year to talk Dr. Schuler into making this happen. And of course when I say "talk" I mean cleverly work my magic with subliminal messages so that he thinks this is all his own brilliant idea. This does mean that I plan to go back sometime soon. I am really hoping for next year but realistically I am not sure if I will be able to afford that. But I can worry about such things later.

I must admit that I do feel bad for my parents because I have been in a permanently bad mood since arriving home. At first it was exhaustion mixed with disappointment. And now it is disappointment mixed in with real life junk. Bills I don’t know how I am going to pay, job hunting, moving, and more expenses I don’t have money for. I realize this was all waiting for me no matter when I got back but I was not expecting to have to deal with any of this stuff for one more week. But whatever, it will all work itself out.

Speaking of bad moods I was went on a walk to cheer myself up today and someone said that I did not look tan. This crushed whatever spirit I still had. Not Tan!!?? That is all I had going for myself since returning home. I may not have been able to spend a whole month in Israel but at least I am tan! I might as well crawl into a hole.

On a much lighter note the rumors that are being spread about me are rather funny. I think my favorite is that I left Israel to do some sightseeing and I almost could not get back into the country. I was almost detained by the army. I am not sure which army. That is small town living for you.

Tomorrow I am going to Kat’s wedding. I can’t wait to see my little girl all dolled up in her wedding dress. I cant believe how quickly my katda is growing up. If I remember I will take pictures and post some of them. I know all of you are dying to see more picture of me.
