Sassy left for a 10-day trip to Europe this morning. How exciting for her! How nerve-wracking for her mother! Very inconsiderate. I'm not sure what she's most excited about - the trip or the fact that she'll be in the country she wants to visit most in the world - Germany - for a 90-minute layover en route to Rome. Sassy takes German in school and has an obsession for all things Teutonic. She had an opportunity to take a trip to Germany as well, but it's for a 3-month stint and she didn't think she could stand to be away from home that long (thank goodness because I know I coudn't stand it - I've already forbidden her to go out of state for college).
