No Parents Week
Well, I was able to watch the sun rise today, and the traffic on Powers isn't so bad at 5 AM! I dropped my parents off at the airport this morning. They're flying to Williamsburg, Virginia, and they will be there until Tuesday. A friend of my parents', a retired Delta pilot, offered them plane tickets to anywhere they wanted to go. For awhile, they wanted to go to Switzerland . . . then they changed their minds and thought that Costa Rica would be a great place to visit. Last month, though, they settled on Williamsburg because it wouldn't cost as much. My Dad has seen the town before and he loves the Colonial history, so I'm sure they'll have fun sightseeing (and taking a break from work). All I know is that if someone offered me free tickets to anywhere in the world, I wouldn't even think of traveling within the United States.
While they are gone I'll be in charge around the house. I'll have to take care of the dogs, pick my sister up from school, cook meals, clean bathrooms, wash dishes, prevent Joe from bringing girls over to spend the night like he tried to last time my parents were away, etc. I'm sure we'll get along fine without my parents, but it will be a little strange.

So, how is your week without parents going? You told me once that you can't cook.. What do you eat there, Andy?

I can't cook very well, it's true. I usually just make a sandwich or microwave a Hot Pocket when my mom doesn't cook. Lately, though, I've been learning some simple recipes like quesadillas and . . . well, that's the only one, actually, but I'm really good at it. My mom made a few meals before she left and put them in the freezer, so I'll just have to warm up the entree, make a salad, etc. I'm sure I'll survive . . .
