judecorpOkay, so I was casually looking at airfares to go home and see my family, since it looks like (FBI fingerprint backlog) I won't be working until sometime in September. My grandmother's 82nd birthday is at the end of the month, so I thought maybe I would go and surprise her.
There is airfare now (of course, since I decided not to go to the reunion) that is something like $131 + tax. Which is GREAT, but requires you stay through Sunday. Which means the weekend. (I wanted to go during the week, so I could still spend the weekend with Jen.)
Now I'm having all of these conflicting thoughts because I don't want to lose my weekends with Jen, but then I wonder what sort of codependent freak I've become in the last year. It's one weekend! But here I am, agonizing about it. Do I go home on a weekend? Do I stay here and not spend the money? Dilemma.

Date: 2003-08-13 08:12 am (UTC)I will miss you but you should GO. You will regret it if you don't and you haven't seen your family since christmas. You have the time off and the funds and the opportunity. YOU SHOULD GO. I will even take you to the airport.
I love you and will miss you....but *ahem*....you should go;) and you should go ON your grandma's birthday - not the day after.

Date: 2003-08-13 08:24 am (UTC)I think this is a good idea. I will think of ways to welcome you home after your trip;)
Ways NOT to welcome me home:
Date: 2003-08-13 08:47 am (UTC)2. "Sorry to drop you off and run, but I made plans."
3. "I was thinking while you were gone, and I don't ever want to have sex with you again."
4. "I baked you this gigantic onion cake!"
Re: Ways NOT to welcome me home:
Date: 2003-08-13 08:52 am (UTC)Mmmm...Onions!
Re: Ways NOT to welcome me home:
Date: 2003-08-13 11:25 am (UTC)Onions: One thing Christina and I always agreed on.

Date: 2003-08-13 08:56 am (UTC)6. Hi, uhm....you know your computer upstairs? Uh....well.....er....you should just come and look for yourself.
7. Hey, this is so-and-so. I wanted you to meet my new boyfriend before you got to the house and saw all his stuff in our room!;)
Heh, that last one made me choke....
I was thinking more along the lines of....
Hey, I bet your tired from your trip. Let's get us home and we can relax together and you can tell me everything that happened while you were away and I was cleaning up cat puke!;)
