for janie...
next week i will be away from you for a consecutive total of FIFTY-FIVE hours. this will probably be the most heart-wrenching FIFTY-FIVE hours of my existence so far. i have been away from you for a thirty-six hours before, but never over two days and nights like this.
TWO WHOLE FREAKIN DAYS without my little buttercup.
what am i going to do?
i can imagine spending the whole time i am attending this conference pining just to smell your hair after you have had a bath. the aroma of lavender and chamomile is so intoxicating, it even makes me sleepy.
oh...and we (your dad and i) think we have figured out what you are trying to say when we have always thought you were saying �what�s that?� you were really saying �what�s up?� which when i think about it, does make sense.
when you were just a little, itty-bitty baby, i would always greet you by saying �what�s up, buttercup?� maybe.....ahh.....who cares?
just hearing you say �wass dat?� is WONDERFUL MUSIC TO MY EARS.
you will be staying with nana and pop while i am gone to birmingham. please remember they are not as tolerant of your screaming fits of rage as i am. PLEASE remember that.
also remember that if you act really sweet to pop, he will probably sneak you a monsters inc blue-berry pop-tart when nana isn�t looking. he�s always been good for that kind of thing.
i still have a few days before i leave to go to birmingham...but it still looms over me like a dark cloud.
please have fun with nana and pop.
and remember what i said about the pop-tart.

xoxo
tell me i'm beautiful...
