1-2-3-Go!

I am so looking forward to getting outta here. Even if only for a few days.

Heading the Parental Units home. We will be feasting on a bird and hopefully be able to go out for all you can eat oysters that haven't been fermenting in corpse juice in New Orleans.

So - I cross my fingers and hope for the best.

J went up early - I think she's having a good time. She's always happy to go. I am happy to see her go - so that I am happy to see her come back.

We have a drive ahead of us - but we are going to break it up into segments.

Since we spent Thanksgiving with HB's folks last year we dont have to do it again. But for some reason we have to make a stop. We just saw them about a month ago and it takes away a day that I can see my parents but - I will button my lip as I am glad I have a driving companion.

I rented a nice cozy car for sleeping. I can sleep anywhere. Airplanes and cars put me into instant comas. I dont know if its the hum of the engine or just plain boredom - I will bring a blankie and tell HB to tell me when we get there.

We are also making a stop to see his son. This is going to be nice because I have a restaurant that I keep wanting to go to and I think this may be the night. They have a great Sangria and the food is tasty as well.

I have been doing my Atkins again. I am starving. I eat a nice breakfast and my bag o' meat at lunch - but right now a bagel would really hit the spot.

I complain but that stupid diet really works and since I don't know the meaning of portion control it's a diet that works for me.

I will be having mashed potatoes though on Thursday. Ain't no dirty looks gonna stop me.

I will be at my Daddy's so I will just sic' him on the lookieloos!

So - I will talk to you all when I return.

Getting sleepy already!
