Flaring my nostrils wasn't working anyway.

I got to work today and immediately tried to wiggle my nose in a desperate attempt to teleport back to Texas. When I left a week ago to go visit my friends from college, I knew I was going to be miserable when I got back home. I love Chicago, but I hate being one thousand miles away from my boys.

But then tonight, I was uploading some more pictures to Flickr and basking in the memories. I was on the verge of tears when I came across this one.
