On the way home

Leaving Chicago now.

Should be home around 10pm depending on traffic.

Safe travels to you, my dear!!

Thank you! We did make it home in one piece, although the traffic in Chicago was pretty diabolical. 2.5 hours for 60 miles, but at least afterwards, all went smooth. :)

People out here are amazed that I didn't have a car the 4 years I was in school in Chicago. You now know why. *hugs you to ease the post-traffic stress syndrome*

Sending out vibes for a safe and uneventful trip.

At least you'll be in air conditioning. I might just Apparate to sit with you a bit to cool off.

Yeah, come on over! The sofa is rather comfortable, and we have an air mattress, too.

It's about time! I've missed you. Be safe, doll. xoxoox

I thought of you so often, wishing you'd been there, too!!!

Yippee! Please be safe... I will cross my fingers for no traffic, excellent weather, and friendly drivers!

Oops - that was me... didn't realise I had logged out!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-08-18 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
All that came true once we'd got out of Chicago, thank you! :) Now, to plan the next trips... LOL

You bad, bad witch! *admires you*

That icon? Made of Win!!! *wants* although I'd spell it without the 'e' *snickers*

I wish I had better graphics software when I created it - poor Lucius came out so tiny, and I'm quite sure he's not happy about that! *pouts*

so... "blond"? weird...

What will these Muggles think of next?!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-08-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, what software are you using? I have no idea with regard to graphics, but I know a few peops who create icons.

Colour me sad, but I'm looking into blond vs blonde. Seems blond is always used for males and can be used for females, too. But I need to look into it some more.

These Muggles? *quirks eyebrow*

Safe travels!

We're back home, and life is slowly getting back to normal. Whatever normal is! LOL

Have a good trip! We'll see you soon!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-08-18 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It was not a bad trip once we left the city. It felt as if the city was trying to keep us there, two and a half hours for 60 miles *grumbles*

Yes! See you soon!

[identity profile] snapemylove.livejournal.com 2008-08-15 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I wished I had known you were still in the area. I would have liked to have spent more time with you! The con was just so busy! *pout* Well, safe travels, karelia.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-08-18 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't even think how close you are to Chicago! I did spent a couple of days just vegetating by the pool, feeling overwhelmed and spent and in a way, just blah, lol.

But, damn! I would have loved to spend some more time with you! Traveling south anytime soon? I'd be happy to drive a couple of hundred miles to meet up. Just, you know, not 600 pesky miles. LOL

[identity profile] snapemylove.livejournal.com 2008-08-20 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm glad to hear that you made it back okay. And that you got some time to just recoup after the con. Still, I agree I would have loved to have had time to actually sit and visit. I don't know of any trips planned in the near future, but I will let you know if we do!!!!!

*sending thoughts for safe travel and happy homecoming your way, my friend*

I think LJ is messing around with me. If you get a comment that doesn't sound as if it was in reply to you, it wasn't.

Thank you for your good wishes. Can't wait to see you again.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-08-18 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, gosh, thank goodness it was less eventful! LOL! The biggest event was taking two and a half hours for sixty miles, but I can live with that. Once we left Chicago, there was very little traffic, so it was fine. *hugs* Hopefully see you soon!

Noooooo, someone has to stay there and relive it for me. It really does suck being in the Muggle world :(

Love Sonia :)

Although I'm glad to be home, I'm still sad it's over. Let's count down to next year, yes? :)
