like a book tour without a book
November 9th, 2009 @ 4:15 pm | life | Post a CommentI’m not sure how exactly it came to be November already, but in case you’re interested in hanging out with me on any weekend left in 2009, it’s not going to happen. I am about to enter a period of Insanity and Frequent Flier Miles and say goodbye to sleeping in my own bed on Saturday nights.
Where am I going? Next weekend we’ll be celebrating my sister-in-law’s upcoming wedding with a 80s-themed bachelorette party sleepover in suburban northern Virginia. The following weekend the husband and I are visiting friends in Charlottesville, and then it’s off to Seattle for Thanksgiving and to celebrate my grandpa’s 90th birthday. But we won’t let cross-country travel wear us out! Just four days later we fly to Charleston, SC for the big family wedding. The weekend after that I’m heading up to New York City to see my sister, who will be there for a conference. Finally just before Christmas I’ll have one weekend at home before we leave once again for Delaware for the Christmas holiday.
Plus I was just in New England a few weekends ago, so I feel that I’ve got about half of the United States covered with my travel plans. A pit stop in Tulsa would get me to the midwest - OH WAIT, I did that already once this year when our giant jet had an engine go out midflight and forced an emergency landing. Oh Tulsa, those were some fun times.
Of course I’m sad that I’ll miss Christmas in Denver with my family this year, but I’ll go in January instead. That is, if I don’t die of H1N1, which I will surely catch while breathing recycled, germy airplane air. Perhaps I should invest in one of these:
I want the mask with the snout! We were talking about getting them the other day as a gag cos a guy on my team was out of work with swine flu for the past week (I don’t know how we all managed to avoid it) and we thought it would be hilarious if he came back and we were all wearing stupid masks.
Then we realised that would just actually be really immature and a waste of money…

i personally like the mask with the beard on it, that’d be a good look for you, haha.
and as for all that travel…good gracious woman you put me and my insane summer to shame, have fun though!

holy crap, I’m exhausted just reading this.
When we went to Florida a couple of weeks ago, my mom totally brought masks in her purse, just in case anyone was hacking on the plane. Thankfully, nobody was and I think we made it home safe. WHEW.

Um, firstly–wowza on the travel plans! Holy crap woman! You’re a tornado!
Secondly–love the masks. Although the chic, trendy, hip leopard print one just looks like you’ve got a pair of leopard-print panties stuck on your face….not a good look.

Hi. I was wondering if you could put me in touch with the Bride from the Charleston wedding your attending? I run a Charleston Bride site and we’re looking for some 2009 brides to pass on their knowledge to our 2010 brides.
