Please forgive me ya'll. It's been beyond hectic at work the last three days and I left tonight (post haste) with only the thought of escaping.....alas, without my notes.
If there is any way possible I can get out of going to work this weekend, I'm going to do it.....and I don't feel guilty about it. (After 55+ hours a week, including work at home, for the last three months.....)
Everyone's reservation is confirmed. I am so looking forward to meeting all of you.....
CI, I can meet you sometime in SF or Santa Clara or Palo Alto...or...for coffee or lunch sometime! I go down to the bay area once in a while, and stay with a couple of friends in Woodside - or near Petaluma. And once in a while in SF. Once in a while in Napa. And when I drive to LA, I go via SF, although I don't drive all that way often. But nothing is sooooo far away that we couldn't meet. We should exchange info and pms and I would let you know when I would be down there...
Osso
Rae, I sure hope you didn't book me into one of those non-smoking rooms.
Oh, I know about hectic weeks. If I didn't this time last week, I sure do now.
lotsa lotsa shorts for Diane, errrrrrrrr i mean roger of course, to pick from.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
Roger ~ I was introduced to hectic with this job. This last week just happened to be the worst so far.
If I could trouble everyone except Roger, Diane, Joanne, Stefan and Ursula to pm me with last names, that would be appreciated.
Also, everyone except Roger, Stefan and Ursula ~ I need smoking or non-smoking preferences. I can't guarantee anything, but since ya'll are my long lost family (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink) you should get the rooms you specify.
Thanks guys.
I am going to spend the entire time trying to convince everyone that my Mother absolutely HATED cats before June 2002.
Rae, that's hard to believe :-)
Joanne, looking at the pictures makes it even harder to wait! We got our tickets on Friday!!!! I think BigDice will soon start counting hours. (That's good - so I don't have to do that ;-) )
Misti, too bad we can't all bring our animals along, too! Wouldn't they have fun! Well, we will have to settle for some pictures, I guess.
I swear, Ursula ~ she hated everything about cats.....
If you can believe it, I adopted another homeless one today.....she's being brought to me later.
I just read your post about the new kitty. Have fun!
Urs, I thought about that .. it would be neat if you'all could pack them in your bags, hehe!
If a person hates Mondays, what conclusions can we draw from that? Hmmmm......... c.i.
OH MISTI WHAT AN ADORABLE PICTURE!!!
Myohmyohmyohmy!!!!
Since I'm counting the days to my/our birthday with a 12yr old guest of ours, I can start counting the hours after that! 240 hours after my/our birthday, it's Take-off!!!
I'm one of very few people who really enjoy and cherish mondays, but that's because that's my only day off! I know about 55hrs+... Thank gosh, I can work well under stress...
c.i., I really don't hate Mondays, I just love the picture. Each and every day is a gift, whether it's the weekend or midweek, and I'm thankful for all of them:)
Babs, thanks, I thought so too!
BD, you better start conserving energy for your trip ... wouldn't want you to be zapped when you get here:)
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
