Tea Sipper

I traveled home to see my parents for Easter this weekend and knew that I would be in for some sleeping in and eating out. It was smooth traveling home, except for the bit of unexpected traffic when I was 20 minutes from home. :( We went to eat lunch and run a few errands (visiting the new Target), before returning home for an evening nap that turned into going to sleep for the night. I slept 12 hours last night and it was wonderful.

In the midst of errands yesterday, I remembered something that was said last weekend while I was visiting my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law. I remembered something that was said that took me by surprise. While at nephew's baseball game, I met his grandpa. When introduced, he said, "Oh, is this the tea sipper?" What does that mean? Does that mean I don't burp and fart on command? Does it mean I eat with a fork, occasionally lift my pinky when I drink something, or talk like Larry the Cable Guy? Does it mean I don't like holes in my clothes, wearing camouflage, riding 4-wheelers through mud, shooting things, or drinking beer? Then, in that case, I guess I am a tea sipper. But, come on...I know that I am definitely not what others would refer to as a tea sipper. I guess there could be worse things to be called?????????

I woke up this morning to run (by run, I mean walk) a 5K...but at least I did some physical activity, and quite a bit of it too. Then off to the Houston Museum of Fine Art to see the exhibit on Pompeii (which I will be visiting the real thing on my vacation this summer). It was really interesting...especially how they created the molds of the people who were trapped under all the volcanic ash and debris. We also visited an exhibit called, "Where Clouds Disperse". My 4th graders could have made a much more exciting exhibit. But apparently it's modern art in Korea. They are so modern at everything else, they need to catch up in art!

It's been a wonderful visit to home. I usually enjoy seeing my cousins, aunt, and uncle (favorite cousins, aunt, and uncle) while I'm home, but they went out of town this weekend, so that's a bummer. I'll still enjoy my time home and will have to come visit again or have them visit sometime soon.
