Come Back And Kiss Me
It's a little short one from me today because as we speak I am getting ready to head to the airport to come to America!
Let's hope there are no cows on the train line, or public transport strikes, or silly nonsense about being put on standby for my flight, but I am knocking on wood because you know how jinxed I can be when it comes to travelling.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Several years ago Oh Patient One went to Sydney, Australia, on a business trip, and when he arrived home this is what happened...
Oh Patient One (very enthusiastically): "Michelle, you would LOVE Australia, it's completely WONDERFUL, it's totally FABULOUS, it's amazingly AMAZING, it's...oh, you'd completely ADORE it. And so would the kids."
Me (not so enthusiastically because I am now suspicious): "Okay, I get the picture."
Oh Patient One: "You know, there's a post coming up in the Sydney office. I could apply for it..."
Me (with a steely glint in my eye): "The kids and I have only just followed you here to America and you are talking about moving, again? We are living in temporary accomodation. All our worldly belongings are currently packed into a container and are currently somewhere on a ship on the Atlantic ocean. We have travelled over three thousand miles and we're still jetlagged, and you want to MOVE AGAIN? And besides, I'm sure I read somewhere that out of the twenty most poisonous creatures in the world, NINETEEN of them live in Australia."
Oh Patient One: "Well, it was only an idea. But it wouldn't be hard to get the container diverted to Australia."
Me (Crossing my arms in a huffy manner): " Watch out for the spiders and snakes. I'll miss you. Write often."
And then Oh Patient One winked at me, and I realized that he was pulling my leg. And then he crossed the room and kissed me. And then we both burst out laughing.

Oh, I love your stories about Oh Patient One! And YAY!!! I get to hang with Michelle in New Jersey! For anyone in the Springfield area, we'll be at the B&N on Route 22 on Saturday at 4pm - we're doing a group signing with Stephanie Lehmann, who is just awesome!
