Better Than Kansas

On a quickie trip back to Los Angeles to visit my family (all of whom were home except ME!).

In the past 24 hours, I have...
...flown in on a bumpy ride from SJC to BUR
...seen the whole family
...eaten Din Tai Fung dumplings brought home by my dad (who offers food to express his affection and who brings back special dumplings every time I go home)
...created Simpsons "avatars" of the four kids and pasted them on the wall (promotion for the Simpsons movie coming out on July 27)
...learned that Jeremy has a signature snore (he starts to wheeze, like asthma, culminating into a little snort, cycle starts again)
...seen Matthew's dream car online
...exercised with Samantha
...eaten lunch at the Santa Anita Mall with Matthew and Samantha
...picked up Jeremy from Clairbourne
...drove to Burbank with the sibs to see the 7-11 turned into a KWIK-E-MART, complete with Buzz Cola, Krusty-O's, pink frosted donuts and Squishees! There was a line around the building! It was fun to see, but not spectacular. Ah, fond memories from the Simpsons!
