It’s nice to see you

One of the more fabulous aspects about moving to Pittsburgh is the amount of time I am getting to spend with people I like (with the sad exception of my husband, who has a lot of lesson-planning dues to pay at his new school, although we have painted side-by-side every weekend since we closed on the new house and I suppose that will have to suffice for the present).

Recently I had the opportunity to meet one of you Supafine readers at a coffeeshop in my new town, further cementing my fervent conviction that I have the coolest and smartest readership in all of Blogtown. Just this afternoon I got coffee with my BFF and old college roommate, a social event during which I laughed so hard and so long that I may have developed a brief fever. At this very instant I am surfing the web, reading Sarah Palin’s greeting cards and watching NUMB3RS in a cheesy Dorito fog of happiness at my parents’ house in Ohio, my children asleep upstairs. Tomorrow I am going to the Homecoming hoopla at my alma mater, BGSU, with my sister and another old college friend. We’ll be visiting the BG News alumni tent and bugging my other sister for a few hours (she’s a freshman living two doors down from the dorm room I lived in as an obnoxious post-adolescent).

All these little joyful meetups would be impossible to undertake if I still lived eight hours east of here. So I’m very glad we moved. I’m glad that my kids are finally able to keep my five siblings straight. I am glad that I’ve gotten to see my folks more in the last month than I had the whole year previous.

I do kind of look forward to getting my husband back, though.

I can’t even tell you how much I’m looking forward to seeing you! Or how glad I am that you’re so much closer now!

I can tell you: sorry I forgot to call Friday. You can push me down at the tent.

Enjoy homecoming…tell the Newsers I’m still alive and living far too far to hop by for a visit, unfortunately!
