Dunno what it is in our family about surprise visits... I love the anticipation and the look on peep's faces when the surprise hits!
Long story short... oldest DD is moving from Philadelphia to Portland, OR... for several reasons... one of which is to be with her sweet boyfriend, who happens to be the son of one of my best pals (nursing school roommate). The kids all grew up together. He's in town to help her w/ the move and to meet all her friends before she moves.
So... dumb ex says he wants to throw a "bon voyage" party for her at his house (the house we built and I left in 1994... haven't really been back since). I was trying to figure out how to get there and planned to just tell dumb ex to suck it up and shut up about my being in HIS house. When I fould out he was going out of town and none of DD's fam was attending... I found a cheap flight and am going to surprise her AND to walk around w/ the video camera to see my old house... ha ha ha.
Old pal, mom of boyfriend, wants to sneak in too... called and asked our mutual friend (the neighbor I had such a bad and sad falling out w/ when we moved a year ago) to ask if she might visit w/ her while in town and neighbor said yes. She made her flight arrangements... and neighbor called a few days later to say she'd changed her mind... old pal coming to see me and DD, when neighbor isn't invited to the party makes her too sad... oh... and she forgot she wouldn't be home... sorry! After DAYS of calling, crying, begging... old pal got the airline to change her ticket for about 1/4 what they planned to charge her to change it.
Surprise is back on!! Both mom's get to see the kids.. and neighbor can go suck an egg!!
Leaving tomorrow afternoon... bon voyage party is on Saturday!! Can't WAIT!!!
