Visiting the Moms

So I drove up from Orlando, Florida yesterday to visit my mom in Roswell, Georgia. It started as a nice drive but when my check engine light came on and my 11-year-old Honda Accord started giving me problems in stop and go traffic, I started to stress. Pretty bad.

But I'm here now and it's always so relaxing. Mom moved down to Georgia from Wisconsin somewhere around my Sophomore year of college, and also married a man she met on eHarmony. Makes me wonder if these dating sites actually work. Did for them I guess, can't argue that!

Last night we had an awesome dinner on the grill with blackened grouper, corn on the cob and peppers, onions and broccoli. It was amazing. Sounds simple, I know, but it's the little things in life. After my uncertain car ride, it was all I wanted to just have a nice meal and watch a movie.

The movie we watched last night was Knight and Day, which I was very skeptical about before but it was oddly good. As much as I don't think Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz make sense as a match, the movie was an on purpose over-the-top, almost parody of the action flicks Cruise has done. It was fun though, even though I couldn't help but ask why Diaz's character wasn't freaked out by the fact that she was on an empty flight, even though it was sold out. Durr.

Anyway, I came here to get away from everything and think. Definitely did some praying on that car ride up. Hopefully I come to some sort of profound realization, lol. That would be nice.
