I hope we can meet up once or twice more before we dissolve into the heat and humidity of the South.

You are a great lady, btw.

dag. you, my friend, are also great. is it definitely THE SOUTH, then? and not just south of michigan? and when? it will happen, we will meet up once or twice or maybe more before then. maybe a beach and food will be involved? and ber and marf?

and count on hosting us hensleys in 2009 when the harry potter theme park opens in orlando because THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. you, me, our husbands and all our muggle kids.

July 7 - 15 is the move target (yeah, I realize that's a week, but we're giving ourselves some time to plan). I have applied to things around here, but... Michigan isn't doing well for us at the moment.

I'd give up vital body parts to stay in Michigan. Kalamazoo, specifically.

You bet there will be guest beds waiting for ya'll (I'm practicing, see). We're depending on becoming the vacation home base for folks to keep us sane.

Little Miss Bryn has plans to grow up and be a rock star... or a princess at Disney.

Yikes, I wasn't expecting that anonymous June 5 2007, 22:27:59 UTC
Yes, yes...but what if I *know* I'm not doing my best? (I have actually always gone by that, the, "do your best" thing.) I am proud of myself and I am actually quite happy though you wouldn't know that if your only knowledge of me was through my (whiny) diaryland. The failure I was speaking of wasn't exactly me in this case...the failure I was referring to was the failure I have had to get anything right here. You know how you have a favorite pen and everything is much easier with your favorite pen? Making lists, writing, paying bills? Well, I've been using a crappy pen for the two years I have been here and I haven't been able, no matter how hard I try and search, to find a decent fricking pen to live with. THAT is the failure I was referring to. I don't like it. Most days I am okay with it all, but sometimes (and right now is a vulnerable time in my life, personally) I just get fed up with it and then I whine and I bitch and I cry and then it's gone and the next day I'm chatting up the produce girls again and life is good ( ... )
