Well, I'm all packed and ready to go, lugged my ridiculously heavy suitcase into work with me so that I can head straight to the airport at 5 for my 7:30 flight...that was not the most exciting part of my morning. It's actually kind of disgusting how much stuff I had to pack for this trip. But then I tell myself 8 days is a long time and a girl likes to have options. I did limit myself to 4 and a half pairs of shoes (which was not easy, I can tell you). The half pair is my flip flops. I really don't feel like you can count those as an entire pair of shoes. They're like glorified slippers that you wear in public.

There's a small group of regulars that always gets off at my bus stop in the evenings and we walk down the street together. It's a fairly common occurence as the days get colder that one of them will mention the fact that I'm still wearing my flip flops. I always explain that I will be wearing them until the snow on the ground makes it impossible (or at least uncomfortable). A few days ago we were walking and one of the ladies said to me, "you know, I find it comforting that you're still wearing your flip flops. Every day that I see you wearing them it makes me feel like it's not that cold, and I can handle it just a little bit better." See that? Wearing flip flops, healing the world one step at a time.

Anyway, it's pretty freezing here today, and EXTREMELY windy, so I hope it's a little better than this out yonder at my destination. Even if it's cold, I've never felt wind in Michigan like what I get coming off the ocean while I'm standing at the bus stop in the morning.

So anyway, farewell to Mass for the next week and "yes, Michigan!" to all y'all back home.

Looking forward to some great lakes, great times. :)

America's "High Five" can't wait to get you back, even if only for 8 days!
That story about the flip flop lady made me laugh out loud. See you soon!!!
