See Suzy All Sappy...

(My favorite picture of my boy... on our wedding day... see that sheepish grin?)

Ugg. Tonight begins my week-long lonely stint. (Already handling it well, huh?) Tim is on his very first "business" trip, which is a week of training at the World Vision main storehouse in Seattle. Translation: no one to wake me up and pack my lunch, no one to hold my hand or warm my feet at night, no one to tell me I look beautiful (esp. when I'm not!), and no one to be my moral support over a potentially long and scary week (storytimes are starting up, oh geez. And while I am so happy for his amazing opportunity and also immensely envious of the location he is in - okay, it's actually "Federal Way" which is 20 miles out of Seattle (and I've never ever been to the West Coast), I am more upset that I have to come home to an empty apartment.

And all this is making me extremely sappy. During Desperate Housewives this evening, a commercial for Hilton Hotels came on, explaining how "travel should make distances between A to B smaller..." and dang it all if I didn't start sniffling. (I was soon cured when my show came back on and Gabby had a cat-fight with a nun - good stuff.) Anyway, going to sleep tonight is gonna be a tough one. Hopefully my cats won't mind my snuggling!
