On the plus side, this week is a short one--I leave Thursday for not-quite-a-week visiting the family. And, as it turns out, I might be up in Chicago for part of the trip! When they found out I was going to be in IN, a couple friends asked if I wanted to come up. They already had plans but are trying to rearrange them. And I need to talk with my family again to make sure it all works. If not, they offered to take Tuesday off and meet me half-way for a meal. Either way would be nice but going to Chicago would give me a chance to see other people too. The thought of the long drive up there for such a short period of time doesn't amuse me but if it can work out, I'll gladly do it. And if it doesn't work this time, Jim and I are planning a two or three day trip up there when we go home for his block leave this summer. His old co-workers want to see him/us before he deploys to Iraq. As typical guys (DH and his co-workers), I didn't expect they'd all keep in contact very well but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well they have. It is good to feel missed. :) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this trip. In addition to being excited about seeing the rest of the family, I especially can't wait to see my baby cousin. I can't believe he's two months old and I haven't yet held him. I told his mom to arrive plenty early Monday and plan to stay late so I could get lots of time with him. Forget my other cousins Monday, I just want him! ;) previous + next + currently + archives + notes + image + design + host + other reads + guestbook |
