Bye!
Edited on Sun Dec-14-08 10:46 AM by MrsGrumpy
So this is it. I'm taking off today for Houston. I was supposed to leave at 8AM but I overslept and then starting wondering why I put such constraints on myself. I'll be without internet until around the 18th, although I will have internet at the hotel that we'll get to really late tonight.
I've spent the last couple days at PassingFair's house with her family and there is such a surreal quality about this. She, and her family, are the one thing I will really miss. That and Tigers games with 1gobluedem.

Thanks everyone for your support (or enabling ;) ) of me over the past few months as I decided to do this. Now, is the "Holy Cwap! I'm actually going..." moment.

Talk to you soon.

1. Happy Trails to you
Happy Trails


Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

9. Good Luck MrsG.
It must be exciting and little scary at the same time. I think you've made the right decision to start over in new surroundings.

Best wishes for your new beginnings. :hug:

There are lots of good people in Houston. The Texas Forum is the best state forum on this site, imho. Hit those folks up if you need anything.

15. Why are you coming to Houston, Mizz Grumpy?
Enjoy your stay here. And feel free to PM me for free tourist advice. I know where most of the cool stuff is. Sadly, you missed our one day of snow (Wednesday night, lasted about 4 hours before returning to the state of slush that is our natural flocking).

40. You should see my eyes now...
:( :hug: I miss you so much already. I'm somewhere in Terre Haute, IN. Merlin "soiled" his cat carrier so we had a bath (first bath for him in his whole life) and is quite angry with me. Licorice is hiding under a bed somewhere and Jess wandering. Good times.

Thanks again for all you have been and are to me. :hug:

41. ***We're safely at a Drury Inn in Indiana***
First leg done. a few unhappy cats and a whacked out dog. Don't ask me what Merlin did in his cat carrier. But... we're no worse for wear. I'll see you all on or around the 18th.
