Going Away Again
Guess where I’m going tomorrow. Guess. I’ll give you a hint: I’m not going to West Virginia.
OMG, how did you guess that I’m going to Michigan? You’re so smart.
All the girls are going camping with my inlaws this weekend. They’ll be about two hours away from Chesaning for two nights and then I’ll join them for one night, unless it’s absolutely necessary that I join them sooner. I don’t think Maya has spent more than one night away from me at a time, but I’m not really worried about her. She digs my inlaws (and my inlaws’ food) and I know that if she’s having issues, they’ll call me. We used to camp with them for a weekend every summer when we lived in Michigan, but this will be the first time it’s happened since we moved to Columbus. Excitement abounds. I told my inlaws to just tell me when they want them, and I’d be sure to drive them up there. They requested this weekend, which turns out to be very convenient for me because my cousin is getting married Saturday. Wasn’t it lovely of her to plan her wedding around when we would be up in Michigan anyway? She’s always been sweet like that. I think I’ll put another $3-5 in her gift card just to show my appreciation.
So I’ll be packing today. I did my laundry and grocery shopping and baking yesterday. Baking? Yes, baking. My father-in-law needs to be compensated with chocolate chip cookies. He’s diabetic, so maybe I shouldn’t bake for him, but when I don’t bake for him, he whines about it. On the other hand, when I do bake for him, he tells me he’s diabetic and he shouldn’t be eating stuff like that. At least, I think that’s what he’s saying. It’s hard to understand him when he’s cramming cookies into his mouth.
Anyway, I’m going away again. I’ll miss you. I’ll be back Tuesday. And I’ll miss you.

What are you going to do first? Visit Dollar Daze or Dollar General? Make sure you save some time in your schedule for Family Dollar!
Kidding! My sister enjoys coming back here, too. It’s all about the cool folks who never got out, right?
Have fun!

@Carol, the hardest part of my trip is fitting in all of the dollar stores. Just kidding. I love coming back to see everybody. I just wish I could plan my trips better so that they always fall during book club.
@Erin, I suppose it’s too much to hope that you’ll be hanging out at the library with Qwilleran in tow.
My hubby will be up there with me on Friday, so I won’t get too crazy.

Can’t you throw in a little of “Can’t wait to see you” to those of us that won’t be missing you because you’ll be in town?
Oh, and if you want company on your dollar stores tour Diezel will be happy to go with you.

@mechelle Of course I can’t wait to see you. When I said, “I’ll miss you,” I was talking to The Whole Internets, I promise. I’ll miss talking to you on The Internets while I’m in Chesaning, too, cuz there ain’t no party like an Internets party cuz an Internets party don’t stop. And stuff.
