Ok, so Melissa78 has just texted me about the temperature....here's what she sent:

"I have worn light cotton shirts w sleeves to my elbows, & I'm comfy. Gen Session today I think is warm. I'll let you know if that changes."

She says that she is having lots of fun, and that we are going to love conference!

Whoo Hoo! So excited!

Hope that helps!

Ask her if it's true that all of the workshops and meetings are all in one building this year! (please?

Looks like it Becky....yay!

Here's what she texted...

"Mine are all here @ McCormick ctr. One so far. Ate lunch yesterday in attached building".

McCormick Center is like 4 different buildings - so I'm wondering if she just means they are all in the same building?

It might be that they are all in the Lakeside Building - all of the restaurants/food court are in the other buildings, and it sounds like she walked down there for lunch...

Thanks for the info Laurie!

Carolyn, that's just awesome! Congrats on all your accomplishments and hard work! You have earned all of it!!!

Maybe I'll see you down by the surprise boxes again! I remember you gave me all your hotpad trivets last year, thanks so much, they were used very quickly! I'll be cheering for ya!

Most welcome....the first sentence was her first text....I sent another text asking if she was going to attached buildings at McCormick, and she sent the other part of the remander of "one so far". So I think they are all at Lakeside. = )

All festivities are in Building E--same building as Arie Crown--nothing on the other side.

Rooms are WARM. The only time I felt the AC blowing @ McCormick was in Career Club lunch.

raebates · 07-11-2009, 06:43 PM

Thanks, Deb.

Shawnna · 07-11-2009, 06:58 PM

wow...every time I have gone I have froze my toes off...lol I even had to leave one workshop one year because it was so cold I couldn't concentrate. I'm very cold natured.

When you say "festivities," are you referring to Career Club luncheon and things like that or are you talking about workshops as well? What I am getting at is...do you mean we won't be walking sixty-bazillion miles each day this year?

Exactly. EVERYTHING is in the same building--no walking across for ANYTHING.

Yippee!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!1

dannyzmom · 07-11-2009, 10:59 PM

I had my suitcase all packed and ready (I leave on Wednesday) with all my outfits figured out.
Then I went to the mall today...
There was a storewide 50% off sale at New York & Company. Plus I had a $20 off $60 coupon...now I have unpacked my garment bag and am re-configuring my outfits. ARGH.
I got this jacket and slacks set and am trying to figure out what top to wear under the jacket: New York & Company - Jackets - City Stretch Single Button Jacket - Petite
HELP???
I don't want to look like a restaurant hostess, kwim?

Gina M · 07-11-2009, 11:02 PM

It looks great Carolyn - sorry can't help you with what to wear under - I'm so not a fashionista! Have fun at Conference - I leave tomorrow

raebates · 07-12-2009, 06:06 AM

You'll look fantastic in that, Carolyn. I'd go for a pop of color--red, royal blue, emerald green. As long as you don't wear a plain, white, collared shirt you shouldn't look at all like restaurant hostess.

CUTE!! I think you look good in just about anything. So, like Rae says, anything but plain white would be great.

dannyzmom · 07-12-2009, 06:24 AM

Dangit you guys!!!
I was planning to go out today and get a simple white shell/tank like they showed in the picture with the jacket & then jazz it up with jewelry. No good? I am such a fashion disaster :P
Maybe I'll bring the jacket with me and browse thru a few stores like Chico's and Banana Republic and see what the fashion-forward salespeople suggest. I agree tho' - a pop of color would probably be best.

raebates · 07-12-2009, 06:52 AM

A white shell would work fine, but I think a bit of color would be even better. Of course, if you're talking about a stunning, focal-point necklace or choker, a white shell would be the way to go.

At one point during NC I'll be wearing a black jacket and white shell, but I'm adding a pop of color with the PC scarf. Plus, I don't have your long, elegant neck for showing off a fantastic necklace.
