  • I woke up at 2:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  I finished The Start of Me and You within 5 minutes of my alarm going off.  Coincidence or fate?

  • I just up and decided to make a huge career change that requires me to go back to grad school. At first I was pretty intimidated but my H is being so supportive and for the first time in awhile it feels AWESOME to be excited about work. Also- I'm already loving the couple of necessary book buying binges I've had at B&N and on Amazon.

  • My oldest left for DC for her 8th grade trip this morning.  I am excited for her (and jealous- I want to go!) but can't even IMAGINE what is was like for my parents when I went away.  At least I can touch base via text if I want.  I'd be shitting myself if I had no contact for 4 days with her!

    I went to Russia for 10 days and Sweden for 1 day, when I was in 8th grade. It was not a school trip but a couple teachers were going, a few parents and several of my friends. This was in 1992 so I definitely had no cell phone. I don't know how my mom did it either. I would lose my mind.

    Right?  I went away somewhere every year from 8th grade on.  I don't know how they just let me go LOL

    I might be going to Columbus in July for work.  I have family there, but I just keep wondering how many Nestie's would be available for a GTG?

    Also, Boston's a lovely place this time of year. ;)

    I'm not much of a traveler so my experience is limited.  It's not a great driving city, though it's not impossible either, but I think it's pretty kid friendly.  Lots of museum, aquariums and historical things that will be over Audrey's head, but still fun for her.  I remember 'throwing tea' off the ship in the harbor.  There's also a Thomas the Train theme park opening this summer.  And TONS of stuff a short ride out of town.

    This is a fabulous story. :) It is
    so something I would do. And also, I would hate video phones. I can't stand face time and skype. I feel awkward.
