winter weather
well, it seems that every year this time the upper midwest decides it should have a winter storm just for me to drive through *ugh* i leave to pick up the rental car in an hour and then it's home to finish packing. looks like it won't be too, too bad tomorrow...just a constant state of precipitation, which is frustrating. add to that the fact that i'll be going it alone this year and i must confess that i'm not particularly psyched about the trip. i know that it will be nice to be back at the cabin, but i'm also a little freaked out by the fact that Ford and i haven't really spoken since last Thanksgiving. there was massive drama with the North Dakotan last year that lead to some extended silence between my lovely Aunt and myself. i imagine we'll touch on the subject tomorrow night when it's just the two of us at the CLB. a few beers later and our emotions will be laid bare.
Little Italy will be traveling south to her mother's for turkey-day. i'm going to miss her somethin' fierce. when is it that we will be celebrating all of our holidays together? perhaps when i'm willing to give a little on the cabin trip...or when my family decides to pick up and move east...whichever comes first i suppose.
tonight, Italy's last serious girlfriend is stopping by to take her out to coffee. The Nun is living in Cali these days...she actually is a practicing Nun...which is encouraging on the jealousy front. *smile* i'm not concerned, more curious than anything. though i'll confess i'm a bit nervous about meeting her and about Italy seeing her again. they haven't seen one another in about 2 years. part of me wishes i could be a fly on the wall of the coffeeshop so i could see how they interact when i'm not there...not because i'm trying to catch them in something, just so i can witness that other side of Italy that only the Nun reaches...cuz isn't that true of all of us? that when we have a relationship with someone, especially one that spans 2 years, they reach a certain part of us that no other person will again...and that is not a bad thing, necessarily...just makes me curious.
anywho, i suppose i should get some more work done before i leave to pick up the Ford Focus i'll be driving back to Michigan tomorrow. hope that thing handles well in the snow!
have a marvelous turkey-day if you're celebrating turkey-day...and if not, well then, have a marvelous week anyway!
