OMG OMG OMG

OMGoshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Been so crazy this week!! Can't think, can't do much except cry. Been a weird week for sure.

Everyone is asking what are we going to do? Heck I don't know. What does everyone else do?

I think on the way home from the airport we will stop and have dinner. It will be rush hour and if one has ever driven Woodward Avenue in Detorit one knows how bad that can be!!! I live a few hours north of the airport so stopping for din din will be nice I think.

I want to take him swimming since it is my favorite thing to do in the summer and the winter (pool). Hmmm...maybe a midnight swimm. He can keep me safe from the fisheys.

Then take him to Great Lakes Mall and let him shop...lol he likes to shop.

Let him cook!!!! I bought some really good steaks for him to bar-b-que...um well he will just have to learn to use the grill!

I am planning a trip to Cedar Point too. I think he will really like that!!!

Perhaps a little quiet time up north would be nice. Around Lake Huron are some real quaint cottages and we would be all alone. A quiet reunion of sorts.

Those are my ideas, not sure how it will all pan out, but I don't care as long as he is here!!!!

Right by the airport there is a little Lebanese Restaurant called Beiruit. Very good food (and halal).. It's on Merriman road just north of the airport in the plaza along with Subway. Right before Crown Plaza hotel.

Cedar point is great! I'm going next week end!

OMG Chi!!! Its really happening for you. You have been such an inspiration to all of us.

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
