View Full Version : Which Cheffers Did You Meet At NC?

I'd love to know who you met at conference. I met many Cheffers, and it was so fun to see faces. I gave out my business card to non-cheffers with chefsuccess.com on the back as my tip. I bragged about how great everyone is on here.

I may leave someone out because I have bad memory. So feel free to correct me if you know I met you.

I met GeekGirl69 because she was my roomy! I met Red Sox on the bus on day two on the way back to the hotel after the last workshop of the day. At the Meet and Greet I met lots of people. I'll try to get it right by the business cards that were shared.

Ginger, I loved listening to you. I will never forget you. You made me laugh with your animation. I bet your shows rock! I met susanr613 on the elevator on the way to the meet and greet. I met quiverfull, Janetupnorth, di_can_cook, amy07, Kathy's Kitchen, Chef Bobby (wish I had taken a couple ear plugs:)), krzymomof4 (she isn't that crazy), Di Can Cook, RaeBates (love the flip flops in person), and probably others. I know I met more of you, but I'm sort of mostly going by the business cards I received.

Let me know if I met you and didn't put you here. Actually, I know there are quite a few more, and I'm sorry for leaving you out. (Amy07 and BeckyD's roommate for one.)

My cluster mate gave me a call yesterday morning, and again this morning. She was picking me up something at Merrill and a pack of mini cattys! Thanks for thinking of me, I am still so bummed that I didn't get to meet you this time around!!

Where are the pictures? I wanna put faces to names too, even though I didn't get to meet and hug all of you!!!!!

Yes! I put you in the list. I met you in the elevator. That cute little boy introduced himself after we were introducing ourselves. Then he asked us if we were chefs. We laughed and said "well...yes." Then we laughed. That was funny. I recognized you right away because you use your picture as your avatar.

I loved meeting more of our extended cluster...although the songs were interesting...

Kristi - she was sitting right over by you at the MnG (I think 1 person was between you)- she came in later.....long curly hair.....big beautiful eyes....is any of this jogging your memory???

I met everyone JAE met....except that I never did meet RedSox girl.

Daneen was my other roommate - she is a new Cheffer, she is in Amy07's downline.

Also - Coberly...come out and play with us! (I can't remember your screen name!)

I feel like since I wasn't there at NC (and I should have been there with you all) that I am gonna miss out on something here!!

lol

Just like a little kid, not wanting to miss the fun.

Paula was quite a flirt with "him"! We had more of an act but every group seemed to use our ideas and our people were chicken to go up!

At our Executive Banquet, each table had to make up a song about PC using the new products, or existing or other things...

Ours was to Do a Deer...from Sound of Music...there was quite a variety!!!!

Oh my gosh! I know who Pampmomof3 is! We chatted for a long time and I walked back to the elevator with her. The whole name thing is crazy. I can't keep track of screen names and real names. It's hard enough to remember just real names.

Sorry, Kristi! It was fun talking with you. I need to get some sleep. Now!

Ours was to the music of "I love Rock n Roll" but ours was titled "We love Pampered Chef".

Like Janet said, it was at our Exec. Banquet - we had an American Idol competition between the tables. At first I thought it was going to be hokie - but it ended up being hilarious. We laughed so much!

It was fun too watching our Exec. Director - Yvonne Mattson. She stood in the back of the room taking pictures of all the groups singing, and of the "judges"....and you could just tell she loves us! She was just beaming and shaking her head and laughing....

I'm with you Kelly! I keep reading the post and I told DH last night I will NEVER miss conference again!
Even though my reason for not going was my 2mo old beautiful baby boy :) I was "not right" the last 3 days, I kept looking at the clock trying to figure out what was going on at conference now? LOL

Glad you all had a great time...Hope to see you next year! (& hope to see some at Leadership!!)

I went to the MNG and walked around looking for cheffers pins and didn't see any so I left. I admit I was late because I was eating dinner at the Irish place there, which was soooooooo very slow LOL But I decided to leave, instead of waiting when I didn't see anyone, because I had lost my cell phone on the way to MNG so was to stressed to enjoy myself at that point anyways LOL BTW...I did get my cell phone back. Had left it in taxi on way to the Hilton. When I got back to the Palmer I called it and the taxi driver answered and returned it to me :) But I did meet Di_Can_Cook at Breakfast which was awesome :)

It was nice seeing Kristi outside of the M&G. I waved at her during the exec dinner banquet. (BTW, NuDirector was the one fighting with her downline about who did better in recruiting!)

In addition to those at the M&G I met Peachey (who took my pic during the tour) and Fluffy and JaneZapChef.

I'm sorry I missed meeting Red Sox girl! I did have a nice chat with Fluffy about New England accents, though. "I pahked my cah at the cawnah ..."

It was "play fighting ...." They like to joke like that ...

Sounds like other exec banquets were more fun!

I got there around 9:30 ... I think it was 11 when we broke it up.

Next time I am going to have to get all the bus schedules between the hotels and the key points of interest so I can save some money.

Bobby, we did meet, but I didn't give out my card. I didn't have very many and my tip on the back was chefsuccess.com. I thought I should save my cards for others who don't know about CS. I walked up to you all when you were sitting in the tiny area up in front. I didn't sit down until we moved to the larger area and rearranged the furniture. I was sitting between Rae and Krzymom. It was good to meet one of the men from here.

It was good meeting you too. I also met and talked to a few guys that were consultants. I was suprised Friday night when I went to the same lounge as the M&G was and sat at the bar. A lady in pajamas asked me if I was from PC. She was part of a group that did their Executive Banquet as a pajama party. I took a group picture with some of them for the guys at work that don't believe my stories of thousands of females at conference. LOL
Were there any cheffers in that group? I had pj's but not any that I would go out in public with.

07-14-2008, 11:20 AM
Very funny. I don't think I'd wear any of my pj's in public either. They aren't slimming enough!

It was so cool to actually meet.

Ginger totally cracks me up! And it was even better to find out that she's a "family" member too!
Rae was everything I thought she would be. Love ya!
Bobby - you must think I'm a stalker. After the MnG, I saw him everywhere! Thanks for sharing the m&m's!!:D
Jae - tool cool
becky -thanks for tolerating the two chatty cathies!
Kathy with a "K" - cool, cool, cool
Janet - WAAAAAYYYY quieter than I would've thought.
Krazymom - do you want a new name now?
Diane - sweetest thing!!

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone but thanks to all of you for your fun & laughter!

oh, and for the 2 who showed up kind of later. Please introduce yourselves here sometime!

I met everyone who met me.

I'll take the time to download pictures in the next day or two. I didn't get tons, though. The lighting was a bit funky.

The pizza was great! I highly recommend Giordano's. (My roommates and I had walked down to a steakhouse for dinner. Not wanting to spend $42 for a steak, we headed back the other direction with the intention of going to one of the cafes north of the Hilton. The rain that started as we approached the hotel didn't bother us. We had umbrellas. The lightening that started as we got about 1/2 block past the hotel, however, did. We went back to the room and ordered for delivery. Delicious!)
