So, y'all know how bad I've been wanting to go to Charleston lately. All this stress with the house and the girls have been acting like rabid howler monkeys. Anyway- Charleston just speaks to my soul. That place feels like my second home when I'm there. So, Brian gets a text from my orthodontist today (who is also one of his good friends). His wife rents a beachfront house every Summer at Sullivan's Island and takes their kids down there as soon as school is out and stays the whole Summer. Her hubby goes down on Thursday nights and stays with them on the weekends. Well, he asked B if we wanted to go stay there next week, since they have a family wedding and the house is going to be empty all week. I couldn't believe our luck! We decided that we would leave next Thursday morning and stay through Sunday. We were supposed to go to the lake, but that can wait. This kind of thing doesn't come up very often. I just have to find someone to keep Alice for those days (hoping Aunt Libby will be interested in that...) and we'll be set. I wish the girls were out of school so I could just take them down there for the whole week. They would love it. But- I have a lot to do here, anyway, so maybe this will motivate me to get it done. We're going to Folly Beach in June, so I am going to get a double dose of Charleston this Summer and I could not be more excited about it. At least I'll get a tan at Sullivan's Island before our week-long trip in June! Well- just had to share my excitement. On another note- if I hear anything else about Swine Flu I'm just gonna puke. I mean, in the US- 30,000 people die every year from the regular flu. No-one gets all out of whack for that. But we have this special flu come up and you would think the world was gonna end. The mass hysteria is almost comical. It seems the media will do anything for ratings these days. I am just sick of hearing about it. I'm sure something else will happen to take the attention away, soon, but seriously- give it a break. Well- I'm off to cook dinner. (And dream about being on the beach in exactly one week!!)Emmaline and Annelise

ok, ok, I just have to say one last thing about the swine flu- please don't puke....Theres been some very sad news to report: Kermit the Frog died today and his last words were, "That stupid pig said she was clean!!!!"
;} Ok you might puke anyway because that was so cheezy! But oh well, I am cheezy AND extremely happy for you!!! Go have lots of fun and forget about all your stress!!!
Rub it in, why don't you! While you are laying out, I'll be in the gym. So, you best be doing some running on the beach while you are there. Got it? I'm just kidding. Hope you guys have fun. -M
That sounds fabulous! I love the Charleston area too. I lived there in 96-2001 and thought I would never leave. Strange what love does huh? We still visit alot but, don't know if we'll get to go much this summer with all that is going on. Sullivan's is my favorite!! I lived right across the bridge in Isle of Palms in college...so many memories! You live in a great place too! We loved Greenville! What a small world! PS:I am sick of the swine flu hype too! One of my employees' family has been on house arrest all week! I hope she is not next! Ugh!
