Reconnecting with Halloween Nut

So I finally managed to get through to talk to Halloween Nut last night. I'd briefly caught her online last week, but it was text-messaging to her mobile. Since she's temporarily out of a land-line phone, I promised I'd call her cell phone that night. I tried... and tried a few times more in the following days, but my calling card caused problems again. Nobody ever recognizes my number when I call, so they don't answer. And, unfortunately, I never got to a voice mail, either.

So I tried leaving her a message yesterday from MY cell phone... and finally got through. She called me back, and we got to talk for a while. Much to my delight, she's considering saving up some money and taking a trip in December (presumably during Christmas Break cuz she's takin her munchkins)... and after I wistfully commented that I really wish she could be here to see my place, she suggested she may possibly decide to take her trip here! Of my good, close friends, she is one of the few who has never had a chance to come to see me here in Missouri, yet.

I did my best to lure her with promises of home cookin every day and a trip to St. Louis. A lot can happen between now and then, but I really hope she can make it. Especially since I can't make the trip out to San Diego to see HER and Radish and Company this year. I'd be tickled even pinker if Radish could come too, but I'm not entirely sure how their relationship is holding up lately.
