Homesick.....

I don't know what it is..... but homesickness struck really hard today. I think it was the weather. It's cool, fallish, and cloudy. When I looked outside, it looked like Central Texas fall. =( My Texas. Every time I glanced outside I thought I should be able to just drive to my Mom's house. sigh....

It's a good thing I had quilting class today. I would have brooded around the house all day crying about missing home. lol A funny thing was after a few people showed up to the class, someone noticed my t-shirt of my brother's highschool football team, and asked if I was from Texas. I said yeah. Turns out all 4 of us that were there first are all from Texas. So I shared my homesickness, and we talked about Texas for a few minutes, how we all missed it. That helped a little bit. =)

Then I spent the next 3 hours learning how to work my sewing machine (again,) and cutting my first color of fabric for my quilt. I am very excited! I hope to have all my fabric cut before the next class two weeks from now, so that I can start my sewing. =D

I think its just that time of year. I've been feeling homesick too. For Sicily. for Texas, for my friends and family. Maybe lonely is a better word for it. :(

Perhaps it is just this time of year. I think also, because we were home last october, something is triggering that longing to be home. I miss my family. I miss how it used to be. Not like it will ever be the same again, but you know.

yeah! I'm so excited about this quilt. :D I'll have to take a pic of the fabric I chose. Thanks for the quilt design suggestion. I'll check those out.

too funny about the word verification. How fitting. hehe =) I hope you get over your homesickness too. I hope mine passes soon, we have 9 months left here... Ahh well... miss ya! =)
