Going to the States is always a strange experience for me. I get to see the things I love (Target!, Boston Market, Mexican restaurants by the fistful, Sephora, and in case I hadn't mentioned it, Target!) I also see things I'm not crazy about. I always feel homesick. Then I don't. Then I do. Then I worship the TV a while but after a short amount of that, the worship's over (what the hell
To top it all off, the flights we're taking dump us in Detroit on the way and we're already tired by the idea, and we haven't left yet (and I'm not even going to discuss my thoughts about the flights, in case that whore Susan (hat tip reader Susan) is around and decides to send something to a shock jock blogger. I'm just saying.)
So we leave today to attend my friend's wedding.
Back Tuesday.
I'll see you then, at which point we'll be home and hitting the ground running again.
See you Tuesday.

Oh girl, I read "flights" and "Detroit" and nearly fainted from exhaustion just recalling the time I sat on the tarmac at that airport for eight fuckin' hours.
Wishing you a safe, hassle-free trip full of fun and trips to Target. Wait, is that redundant?
I miss my Super Target. Here I only have regular Target. Which is okay, but not the same.
(And listen: If you're ever remotely nearby--I guess if you and the man get your hearts set on a trip to beautiful Juarez, Mexico--you'll give a holler, right? I got a car. Sometimes it's even got gas in it.)

Travel safe, get here soon, and let me know when you're available. The clan is at your disposal this weekend.

I wish you were going to be in SF.
( Have fun though. I bet the Christmas socks are out at Target. And if they're anything like the Halloween ones, SCORE! Because those Halloween socks were like sticking your feet up a muppet's ass. I love those socks.

Bizarre - I'm flying out of Detroit tonight. On the off chance were there at the same time, could you walk around shouting "HI. I'm HELEN."?? You know, so I can say hi. Or, you know, point and laugh... ;-)

Hope you have a great trip. Atlanta's supposed to be nice this weekend but a bit nippy in the mornings and evenings, so bring some warm clothes. Oh yeah, enjoy the leaves changing colors, especially if you get anywhere close to the North Georgia mountains.
And you shouldn't have any trouble finding Targets.

Have fun in Atlanta, and Dave is right: the leaves have been so beautiful this fall! Enjoy the wedding (and the Target.)

if you'll be in Detroit airport for very long and you're bringing a laptop, it's worth it to plunk down some change for their WIFI. I would have shot myself without it on my way home from visiting my parents this summer.
