hold on for this.


"I'll pay for you to go down there and your room. need a car? get one too"

so I'm going to go after all.

My new Dealer is Frank Wilcher and he is a genius for hiring me back.

Damn Ed that is great! I hope that when I finally land a job I find a sweet deal like that.

What's your route for your travels? If you're coming even somewhat close to the Baltimore/DC area we'll make something happen, even if it's just for a quick soda stop.

My chilly ***** Holland will be home Friday. less than 48 hours away is airport time. I am so doing the snoopy dance. So glad she is going to be here but I am sure after 6 weeks of socks on the living room floor, soda cans under couch, sour milk in forgotten somewhere cereal bowls, toothpaste in my sink, and Taylor Swift (oh God no) downloaded on my computer I am sure I will be okay with her going back to her dads. Nope I lied. I would do anything to have all that back in my home again. (insert big tear filled sigh here) I miss ALL of her.

okay happy thoughts happy thoughts

what is everyone doing this weekend?
Going fishing Saturday on Lake Superior for lake trout and salmon. Camping the rest of the weekend.

Melissa and I agreed that we both can see the light at the end of the tunnel so instead of traveling it alone we will meet in the middle and make the journey together.
