Carleen Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi friends, I find myself in need of another hall pass for Wed. August 23rd through Sun. the 27th. My family started up a small trucking company 2 years ago as a joint venture with my two sisters and their spouses, my mom and Keith and I. Well, this week I am required to attend a conference on DOT and Haz Mat regulations. Doesn't that sound like fun? The up side of it is that it is being held in St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Shucks, an all expenses paid trip to the Virgin Islands, I guess I can't complain too much. I may be in boring seminars all day, but at least the evenings will be mine and in beautiful sandy settings. I just hope that I can maintain somewhat. I know it will be hard for me to be in such a romantic place without my Keith. I've never been anywhere without him, I'm sure I will have my sad moments. I just hope somewhere in that time I can find some relaxation and peace too. Maybe, just maybe if God is merciful, I can even have 5 minutes of fun. So, I will miss you all very much, but I am off to swim in the ocean, burn my white white skin, and get sand in my crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzu Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sometimes being alone with the water and the sand is what you need. Keith's spirit is close wherever you go. Have a safe trip and more than 5 minutes of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
