My much-loved niece, the Queen of Bad Television, is on her way at this very minute, on a bus from Washington D.C. to New York to spend her dental school mini break with us. She'll be here till next Monday and I'm excited to see her. I have a little idea in my head that if my daughter is off this weekend, we might even hop a plane to Chicago and hang out, the Normal family (inside joke), together again. Or else we'll just paint the town in New York. I'm in a house of mostly men these days, my husband and son and my son's friends. It will be nice to balance the scales with a little bit of woman company for a few days.
Whatever happens, I know y'all are going to have some fun!
ReplyDeleteMary, we sure will, as I'm sure you will be having some fun of your own this weekend! We'll pace ourselves, lol.
DeleteOooh, is she taking BestBus from my neighborhood (Dupont Circle)? I will be on that same bus, heading to NYC next Friday--I'm taking my mother and aunt up to see the sights. Neither of them have ever been!!
ReplyDeleteSJ, I think she's on Megabus, but how wonderful to be taking a jaunt with your mom and aunt. Be sure to check out the High Line!
DeleteEven the possibility of a jaunt to Chicago is exciting -- whether it actually happens or not. (And New York is plenty exciting enough, if not!) Abbe Normal makes me think of "Young Frankenstein," LOL!
ReplyDeleteSteve, I think you might have hit on the Normal inspiration!
DeleteIs this the same niece who had the health issues? If so, glad she's doing so well now.
ReplyDeleteAh, the comforts of bad television! Enjoy :)
ellen, no, this is a different niece, but the one who had the health issues is fully recovered, and back in school so everyone's grateful about that. thanks for checking! xo
DeletePeople this age are a real blessing, aren't they? Their idealism and hope still fresh and everything possible.
ReplyDeleteVesuvius, everything possible. I love the very phrase. We can learn something from them when it comes to hope and idealism, I figure. Its part of why i so enjoy being around them.
DeleteRemember? You let us in on Abbe and Nota. Ha.
ReplyDeleteKimberly, and you remembered! :)
