You know, I've never been one of those people to broadcast my NJ pride. When many of my college friends first met me they thought I was from a small town in PA until they heard my "accent." In fact, someone actually thought I was from France freshman year. When I asked him why, he said, "Because you were quiet and wore dress pants a lot."
So I don't exactly embody the typical Jersey girl. (I do however love the Sopranos, Bon Jovi, going down the shore, tattoos and cutting over several highway lanes at a time...that counts for something, right?). Regardless, I miss the bajesus out of New Jersey and all the dearly loved faces and places that wait for me there. Just thinking about going home this weekend gave me an extremely comforting feeling today.
This weekend I'll be seeing my mom and stepdad's new place for the first time, which sounds beautiful. It's in a "New York luxury" styled apartment building, and my mom is crazy about having central air and elevators. She deserves every bit of it and I can't wait to enjoy enjoy it with her.
Hopefully I get out of work early tomorrow so I can get on my way to the good ole Garden State Parkway. Tomorrow I actually get to start processing basic teller transactions (with guidance) so wish me luck!
