You can take the girl out of the country. . . .

*  I am so grateful to my parents for sacrificing their time and money so that I could grow up in a small town.  (Even though my mom would admit the only way you are moving her from Enterprise is in a casket.)

*  I'm sure there were a lot of other things my dad would have liked to do besides drive an hour to and from work each day....that's 10 HOURS of driving a WEEK!!  Which computes to a whole lot of gas $$$$.

*  I know there are things in the city that you can't get in a small town.  But, that works both ways.

*  I have a work trip coming up that I am NOT excited about.

*  Did I mention I have to go on an airplane???  To a big city???

*  Did I mention I hate big cities that I don't know where I'm going or how long it will take to get there???

*  What if I'm in a cab and I get car sick or need to go to the bathroom???

*  YES!  This is what keeps me up at night!

*  To make matters worse, I got an email from the factory I will be visiting and they "wanted to know more about me".  I deleted that email in a hurry.

*  Then I got a phone call about the email I had not yet responded to....(oops).  "We're so excited your coming and we'll be going to dinner at least 3 times that week"  Say what?

*  I just know they are going to take us to some fancy schmancy restaurant I probably won't be able to pronounce the name of.

*  I will literally projectile vomit if anyone within 3 seats of me orders any kind of sea food!

*  I'm sure they won't serve the kind of food I like

*  Sorry!  I was raised in a hick town and have simple taste.
