Travelin' days

Seems like Sean is barely back home, and now I'm going to be taking off. I think my trip will be a lot more fun than his - I get to go see my big sis, my lil' sis, my big little brother, my other big little brother (why'd he have to ruin what was a good thing by getting big?), Mom, Dad, one brother-in-law, one sister-in-law, two nephews, two uncles, two aunts, two cousins, one cousin once removed, one boyfriend-of-cousin, and a partridge in a pear tree. Or some Bluejays in pine trees at least.

Even though many of these people are from Alabama, and even more of them have once lived there but have since fled the state, all of them are people I'd be happy to call friends even if they weren't related to me. Even the republicans in the bunch.

Tonight is laundry, and packing, and baking, and saying goodbye (again) to the hubby. And drinking a bottle of Shiraz that I decided not to take after I noticed it had a screw on cap. (Wine snob? Not me. I just prefer to travel with corked wine.)

And come tomorrow, I'll be on the road again.
