Homesick

I've been away from Charlotte since about 12:30 on Sunday afternoon and I do NOT like it. It was bad enough having to leave her, but Sunday morning didn't make it any easier--Brian hit the main water line into the house with his lawnmower, so we had to go buy the stuff to fix it and he didn't get the yard done in time for me to leave. So I left about 30 minutes late, and got to my coworker's house late, and didn't have time to get food, so I was super hungry.

Our hotel room is straight out of Miami Vice. Note the plywood shelf bed with thin mattress pallet. Next time we'll dispense with the "mattress" and just go for the bamboo mat. I'm sure it would be more eco-friendly. The fine art behind the beds, though difficult to make out in the picture, is two richly-colored Mediterranean renderings, which clash nicely with the otherwise pastel decor. My roommate Melissa is spending our free time busily planning the last-minute details of her impending nuptuals. Run away, Melissa, run away!!!!

Anyway. We're having fun and learning lots. Our instructor is nice enough, though she is a bit boring and blah for my style...we get free books though, which is always nice. The worst part, of course, is missing my baby! I was doing ok until I talked to her babysitter last night, and I could hear Charlotte chattering away in the background. That made me sad. Sigh. But, in looking back through my recent pictures of her, I realized that it's been like, a whole week since I posted any here, so I've selected a few for your Charlotte viewing pleasure. Hope you enjoy her as much as I do! <3>

She is such a cheeseball!

Silly Mommy, that's not a hat!

This is how she sleeps...at the foot of her crib, against the side.

Silly cheesiness!
