Snooki: anyone who knows me knows this goes without much explanation.
Barq's rootbeer:in the UK you have two choices.. either Diet coke/diet pepsi or Coke/pepsi. Dr.Pepper is also a close runner up on this list. And free refills and ice practically don't exist.. so I'm really looking forward to paying 1.75 and gorging myself on as much soda as I can possibly drink.
The Edwards Clan: I cannot wait for some quality family time playing dominoes, chowing down on grandma's casseroles and FAMOUS cherry cobbler (Lesa, good luck getting more than a small slice!), and watching the boys open their Christmas!
Sissy Girl: Cutest lab on the block with the sweetest little soul. Can't wait to see her jump up on that window ledge when I walk through the door!
The Mum, Brat, and Bub: I can only imagine the tea, movies, couch snuggles, and large amounts of Christmas cheer and netflix. It will be an amazing break away from the big city with this crew.
My "Queenie" size bed: Terrible picture, but you get the idea. Lots of sleeping in the middle of my pillow top, lots of spooning of things like magazines, books, dvds, etc. #singlegirlprobz BUTTT seriously, watch out Queenie (and squishy pillow).
Cat Christmas Sweater: Unfortunately, this gem got left behind. Don't think for a second if it had made the pack list that I'd be too embarrassed to wear this baby around town. Trust me, I would wear it proudly.
Acambaro: This will be the first stop when I get home. The number 15 (Chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and beans and rice) or do I want the number 25 (Carne Asada tacos)???? Decisions, Decisions.
Christmas on the Bentonville Square: Beautiful every year. Cannot wait.
Driving/Honda: I might be a little rusty, and in all honesty the idea of driving scares me right now. But I know once I get in the car and start singing loudly to some Tswizzle that I won't give it a second thought.
Leisurely Reading: Can't wait til I can read something that doesn't use complicated jargon (ie intrinsic, discourse, psychoanalytic, anything having to do with visual theory/methodology)
My Dearest Clo Clo: I will be making the roadie down to Dallas for some time with Chloe. I can only assume trips to Sprinkles, City Tavern, and Whole Foods will ensue... I HOPE!
Besties from Bville: "Lets do something awesome." Enough said. I am thinking a big group hug will be in order on this one.. and I know Lori will agree (and Alex will have no choice).
Katie and Tay: Looking forward to some home cooking and cocktails with these two. Never a dull moment at the Surlys'!
Max: He is the cutest puppy friend ever, and the perf companion for movie days. He is spoiled, but who can resist that face?
Pickle Chips: Alex will call me disgusting, but when I walk into that glorious Walmart store I will make a B line for these suckers. And I'll eat the whole can.
Pop-Tarts: Not a huge pop-tart fan, but I've been craving them like crazy! They are nowhere to be found here. Boo.
Press Room: Looking forward to joining the frands and Clem for Tom Collins and cucumber and goat cheese on bread. DEEEElish!
Puppy Chow: Lori- you get to stir, Alex- you melt the butter and chocolate, and I... I'll get the powdered sugar ready in the bags and try not to screw anything up. Any way it goes, we have a crap ton of puppy chow to eat while we watch whatever is on Netflix in the back room at Clems.
Tusk and Trotter: You best believe I'll stop here day #2 for some Purple haze and Fried Chicken and waffles with that delish carrot cream.
WALMART: enough said.
Apple Glen Elementary: My old stomping grounds! Already have a visit planned to see my peeps (Tina, Wendy, Sara, MC, Carrie, the whole specials crew!)
Clem: Where his house is always home. Can't wait to hear about whats new on the entertainment scene and listen to the jams on Sonos. YES!
Stucky T/Buzz/Bird/T: I will no doubt catch some slack for this, but I really can't wait to see Buzz and roll around on the Lassiter's living room floor with him and Lo (possibly watching an Amanda Bynes movie somewhere in there...)
Dolla bill: My money will go much further.. and I won't be paying out the patootie for a sandwich. This sounds stupid, but really, you have no idea how much crap costs here.
Sushi King: Spicy Fried California roll please!
Outback Steakhouse: with Burgie!
Pandora radio: If you are on a UK internet server (aka, I am in London all the time) you can't listen to Pandora. Its a huge bummer, especially with the holidays coming up! Can't wait for some Backstreet Boys Christmas Stationnnn!
Hog Nation: looking forward to being surrounded by a community of people who (mostly) share my love for the hogs and my State. (Yes, that is Bill Clinton- REPRESENT!)
Kennedy Coffee: Maybe I should have put this up with my Leisurely reading, because I'll most likely be doing it here with a Velvet Elvis or Mint Mud Slide.
Mostly, I'm just looking forward to being back to what I know best... being in a southern state of mind.
See ya in 25 days, Arkansas!
We are all ready to have the welcome home Acambaro party!
