What's On My Mind

Decide for me, because I am RIGHT down the middle on this one. The Frames are playing in Seattle next month. I would LOVE to see them. Here's the thing - I can totally go. But I'm still wrestling with the decision. So a few pro / cons and then I want you all to weigh in. Because I'm being a decision wuss.

Pro:
-It's The Frames. Hello!
-I completely love Glen Hansard (um...boyfriend #2?)
-It falls on a weekend that Isaac rearranging his schedule isn't terribly painful
-Isaac is fine with me up and going
-I would get to go with lbs, which guarantees a good time...and finally (after 6 years!) meet Susan
-I would totally get to be there. Singing along with this:



-I could stop in at John Fluevog...
-It would be just for me...frivolous
-Seattle in November...(which, to me, is a total PRO)

Con:
-It's completely frivolous
-It would be SUCH a quick trip (we're talking less than 24 hours)
-It seems like a waste of our family vacation money fund
-I hate being away from Isaac and Sammy
-I would have to fly. Twice. In less than 24 hours. Is there enough valium in the world for that?
-I would have to fly and possibly plunge to the ground in a horrible twisted mass of metal fire ball (though, pro, my charred remains would be buried in the NWish...).
-It's Thanksgiving weekend (which isn't terrible, but I feel a bit of guilt over, even though Thanksgiving at our house is a sweats and movies weekend and I wouldn't actually miss THANKSGIVING itself)
-I would feel as though a possible girls weekend with Isaac's sisters next spring is an automatic no-go

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but for now that's enough. So...


(finally, the frames...seriously. Why am I struggling, again?)

As I was reading your pros and cons, I was thinking in my mind, "Go, go, go." Until I read the last one. But that's just because I don't know if that is something you look forward to and that would enrich your life.

Amanda - I'm not sure, to be honest. There is a whole OTHER pro/con list for that one! I would be ok missing it, for this one, though. I think!

Why not
Go. In a car. With Issac and Sammy?

tawnya said...

Well, now. That would solve everything...

The answer is obvious: GO!

But I might be ever-so-slightly biased on this one.

tawnya said...

Maybe a smidge. And I'm leaning toward going. Because it's so out of character for me, if nothing else!

Susan M said...

I'm only going because my husband said "You should go" and then got online and bought me plane tickets! haha. I'm a decision wuss, too.

That said, you have to go! Seriously, the Frames are worth it. And meeting Laurzia's worth it, too. She's way cooler than I am. We'll have so much fun!
