A Rainy February Friday

Dear Blog,
I'm conflicted.
Last October, for my 60th birthday, instead of gifts I asked if Keith & the fam would contribute toward a girls' NYC weekend trip for Skye, Kelley, & Kelley's mom, Betsy (Betsy turned 60 last year also).
All agreed:)

Keith asked if we could delay it till Skye's graduation this May, which means it would be her graduation gift as well.
I agreed.
The girls agreed.

Well, NOW is the time to make reservations.

But, Skye is graduating in May (we need to make motel reservations for the second weekend in May, in Blowing Rock--that equals money), she has applied for grad school (money required), she wants to move to a one bedroom apartment on King Street in August (which requires a chunk of a down payment), so all the above takes, guess what---$$$!

What is happening is great; the timing is not.

So, within the next 2 weeks (max), this grand idea needs to be sorted out.

Will we ever have enough money to do a girls' weekend in the Big Apple?
Do we just delay it once again?
Is it a frivolous idea?

My financial guy is not a happy camper:(
My major benefactor is not happy:(
Skye's major benefactor is not happy:(

Can he work this out?
Can we work this out?
Stayed tuned.


Prayers are welcome:)
