miss me

I'm flying out to Minnesota in the morning to go to a conference for work. And I extended my stay so that I can visit with some VIPs. I'll get to see my friend from college (Mary- more on Mary after the visit) and then drive to Wisconsin to see my grandfather, Papa Buck (mayor of Wisconsin) for a couple days. He's a hoot. A scotch-pushing hoot. My most vivid memories of Papa Buck are when he would give the little girl version of me sips of scotch and I would cringe! But eventually I stopped cringing... hrmmmm.

I've never been up north to Minnesota or Wisconsin and I will report back. Oh, yeah, I'll be gone until Tuesday. If I can find a computer I will give you an update on my fab mini-work trip/vacay...

I'll miss you blogland! Will you miss me, too? How will you occupy yourself while I'm away?

TELL ME EVERYTHING.

I must admit, you'll be missed--your adventures are keeping this homebound mama sane pretty frequently these days :)

thx for stepping up with swoons, and p.s., I totally needed the reminder to write Sandra Bullock my own version of your letter

Yes, I'll miss you, even if I don't go near a computer till Monday.

Have fun! My granddaddy evidentally had a little jones for booze, but he didn't share. Dammit. I probably would have learned to love it long before I hit 35.

I don't think I know you (I graduated '07), but I know we have mutual friends. "Out of My League" and her husband are friends of mine :).
