Onna Move!

So I am sitting in the airport in Toronto, waiting to board. A guy beside me must have just snuck a smoke in the bathroom, he reeks! The guy across from me sounds just like Albert Brooks (does not look like him), and is having a very long cell-phone conversation. N & J just left me, there were tears, then I went on the super express moving sidewalk, jebus but that thing moves. I lost my shaving cream to the security guys, and forgot to leave my cel-phone at home. I am sick, literally sick (cigarette man wasn't the only one stinking up the bathroom) with nervousness, excitement and regret. This will be the longest I have been away from Nicci in the last 10 years, and I have never been away from Jemima this long. That said, I get to hang out with the big girl, blow mind with Cool-New, and discover many new toothpastes. It will all be great

Going to China?!?

So I am off to China in 4 days to visit the big girl. That is right, she is living and working in China, and I am taking advantage of Chinese New Year to go and visit her. I won't lie, I am freaked out. I don't know the language, (6 weeks of University Mandarin don't count), I am old and fat, and I will be leaving Jemima and Nicci. Yes, I am freaked out. On the plus side, it is 3 weeks away from work, it is a chance to see my daughter after 4.5 months, and a chance to see things I have been dreaming of seeing ever since I first laid eyes on National Geographic back at Dr. Knowles' office. If I have access to Internet I will try and post on here every couple of days and keep sort of a running journal of what is going on. Freaked out.
