It never rains...

missroseroseSo I've only been prodding my friends to come visit for, what, a year and a half now?
You guessed it. Two different sets in March.
Fortunately one of them is my friend Monica, who is an extremely undemanding person - I warned her that we'd be a bit tighter on cash than we might normally be, and she said that was fine. And since she's one of my best friends, I know she's not just being polite - she'll probably be perfectly happy to just wander around town and eat dinner with us at home. So we won't have to worry that we're not showing her a good enough time.
Also, for once we'll be able to hang out without her boyfriend/fiancee/whatever nearby. Not that I hate him, exactly, but he reminds me way too much of my father in how he treats her. So that's one major stress point gone. And since her daughter will be at home too, she'll be able to do things on the spur of the moment! It'll almost be like we're 21 again!

Date: 2011-02-10 11:54 am (UTC)Getting down there is something of an adventure, as I don't have a license yet and don't have a vehicle of my own yet (although I have a permit and the car I'll end up with it residing with Jer's family). But once I do, well, visiting down there is at the top of my list for things to do.
Now if I can just get the hang of surviving a parking lot and backing into a space, I think I'll be alright...

I'd have gone to the whole con, except I don't have the mindset to manage it this time around and my actual Con money went to PHXCC and will hopefully lend toward PAX Prime again this fall. Hopefully.

Aside from, perhaps, cats and dogs, certainly if they were kittens and puppies. Still. Hope you get to relax and bask in the warm glow of happy-good friendtimes.
