I got a private message on the JokeADay message boards, from our Texas friends who are coming to visit. We've been so excited, planning and plotting for that glorious weekend. In the PM, David said, "We'll be there in just over a month!" The plans have always been for Labor Day weekend.
I thought about it, freaked out, then calmed down, thinking he just made a mistake. He meant "week" but typed "month", right? I PM'd him back and said, "Just WHEN are you coming up?" He said they were leaving on Friday, arriving on Saturday, September 29. I freaked again. I asked Kevin if he was SURE it was Labor Day weekend...he said, "yes" and double checked previous PMs to be sure.
Finally, 3 PM's into my conversation with David, I said, "Labor Day is in 1 1/2 weeks, you said you'd be here in a month....see why I'm confused?" He replied that he felt stupid and that he got two gatherings mixed up. They are having a chat-meet in their town at the end of September. They will indeed be here a week from Saturday!
WoooHoooo!
I can't wait! I know you all don't know them (although Mom met them once) but there will be many pictures on that weekend. Indulge me, won't you?
What shall I cook? What snacks will I provide? How can I stand the excitement, waiting?!
I still have the Ya'llapalooza concert this Sunday. That'll be a good diversion.

LOL, I freaked too, but for a different reason: Where you typed, "We'll be there in a month", I read "We'll be there a month."
So I pictured these people just moving in with you for 30 days. Whew.
Jealous me.
LOL on your mom's comment below!!
