Onward Hoe!

So I got a call on Monday morning from my friend Collice (of "Since Jews been gone" fame) asking me what I was going to be up to this coming weekend. I asked when exactly. He said the whole weekend. I said I had some plans. He said, "Do you want to go to Nashville?" I said, "Uuhhh...what?" Apparently the youth group he works with is taking a mission trip there later on this summer, so he's taking four of them this weekend to check things out and make a promo video to entice others to go as well. Two guys and two girls. Collice, being a guy, can't just take off with two high school girls in tow, so he asked me to go along as a chaperone. Ha! Imagine that! Me. Responsible for teenagers. It's downright comical.

But anyhoe, I told him that if he couldn't find anybody else, I'd see what I could do about my plans (which included a Cinco de Mayo party that I'm kind of sad I'm missing, but if my party dress doesn't arrive in time for it anyway, I don't know what I'd wear, so...). Well, he couldn't find anybody else. Or maybe he didn't try. I don't know, but either way, he didn't find anybody else, so I'm going to Nashville, TN this weekend! I look at it this way: Collice + 4 random teenagers + FREE trip to Nashville + Nashville itself + random video-making + Hard Rock Cafe + Dolly Parton = a pretty frickin incredible weekend.

And when I get back, I'm going to Wilmington for a few days to unwind. I have a few days off, and I think lying on the beach would be just the perfect thing to do with them. So if you need me, that's where I'll be. If you want to stress me out, though, don't call, or else the reception might suddenly "go bad."
