Countdown to Conference: Only 24 Days Until the Excitement Begins!

[dannyzmom]

How lame am I that I'm excited about getting to wear my cute PJ's around people who will appreciate them? My pink VS Flannel PJ's with skulls and crossbones (green bows on their skulls) don't impress my husband. Surely someone out there will think they're cute. So if you see me roaming the halls in my PJ's......

Oh just wait til ya see mine - I have these AWFUL red waffle knit union-suit one-piece PJs that are actually DH's but he doesn't wear them - so they're a size mens XL (I am 5' 2" and 105 lbs) - they're freakin' hilarious but they're my faves!

Bleh - I wish you were in Wave 1, Carolyn!

Oops, forgot to put my smarts in this morning! Sorry!
Yeah, I am bummed too! Especially since we get two nights to cruise Chicago instead of one! It would have been fun to go to dinner or something. I still haven't been to Navy Pier! I think we need to protest this seperation of directors like that! It's totally unfair and totally ruthless! How dare they make us make friends then never see them again for how long!

Even though it is a bathroom, it is a room full of gals... why would you think we wouldn't talk? THAT is just weird!

I am SO excited!! I have a couple of my downline going. None of them want to room with me and my friend/fellow director though. LOL We stayed up till 3:30am before we walked at leadership this year. But hey - thats where I befriended Tom Marston and amazing things happened because of that!

So yeah... hallways at early morning is what I look forward to the most

You met Tom Marston ???!!!! yeah you can tell that I am a little star struck hehe I am so flipping lame huh???

Just for the record, I'm planning to befriend Laura and see what amazing things happen for me... Let's see if this plan works!

Pajamas? We have to wear pajamas????

 

[chefann]

Your roommates (and bed-mate, especially!) would appreciate it, I'm sure.

Speaking of bathroom meetings. At parent orientation I met someone that I knew briefly in 1997 as she was coming out and I was going in. She recognized me. Took my card and said she'll contact me to book a show. - I had left my purse with my friend so I didn't get her info.









Note to self: Never go to ladies room without paper and pencil. lol

 

[BethCooks4U]

I also want to express my concern for your health John and my prayer that recurrences are few and short.

I am so excited to meet you all! I don't want to name names because I would be hurt if a list is made and my name was missed so I don't want to do that to any of you. Just remember, I'll be the one with the chocolate cake (or brownie).

Katie, how is that list of cell numbers coming?

I picked up two frames this week for the exchange (one for Sun and one for Mon). I LOVE one of them but I got the last one. Now I'm still on a search for something as nice for the other night. The other one is okay but...

 

[pamperedlinda]

Hey John, So glad you are coming and I hope your legs will be just fine! BTW, have you thought about getting one of those motorized carts at McCormick? Then for sure we'd all recognize you....you could even charge for rides!

We would have to decorate it with streamers and a horn!

 

[etteluap70PC]

I am most excited to go to conference just to remind myself why I love this business and to get rejuvenated. I have been letting way too many excuses get in my way lately. I also really need a break from my kids. I know it sounds terrible .... and I feel like a horrible mom for saying it bit it has been really tough lately.

Of course getting to meet you all is an awesome bonus! I can't wait!!!

Who is collecting cell #s? I can pass mine along.

 

[chefann]

Paulette, Katie (katie0128) is collecting Wave 1 numbers.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I didnt' know we were exchanging Cell numbers.....I will pass mine along.... I am really excited to see everyone in a couple of weeks.........

 

[pamperedlinda]

Paulette, Katie (katie0128) is collecting Wave 1 numbers.

Do you know if she going to make a master list and send one to each of us? I'll send her mine.

 

[chefann]

I believe so.

 

[pampered1224]

Well I truely...am grateful to all of you expressing your concern and well wishes. I did attend last year. I felt awful for 4 days afterward but I too need that "KICK IN THE REAR END" to get myself going. Gotta wipe out all the fear I have about standing too much as my doctor says that's silly! (He really did say silly!) And as far as a motorized vehicle of any kind goes, you don't want to see that! It could be very dangerous! And you know I'd be on that horn so much, I'd wear the poor thing out! Physically I try to be as normal as possible. Now, anyone know a good shrink? Because that needs more help than my leg!
I am going crazy and I can't wait to show you all something at the Meet & Greet I think you all might like!

 

[chefann]

oohh--- sounds dirty. (Or maybe that's just my twist on it when someone says "I have something to show you." )

 

[janetupnorth]

Your roommates (and bed-mate, especially!) would appreciate it, I'm sure.

He-he, I know...it was late the other night and I thought I'd get a laugh out...

I usually just end up wearing a T-shirt and flannel pants...don't have too many "official" pairs of PJs anymore...

As long as you're wearing SOMETHING.


That covers all your "naughty bits".

 

[katie0128]

Do you know if she going to make a master list and send one to each of us? I'll send her mine.

Nope - I'm just collecting and then will collect payments to not sell the numbers to strangers in Chicago! That's my version of "fund raising"
Or I could be really nice (but, bribes are always accepted) and actually distribute it. My guess is that we'll be adding to it right until we leave, so the current voices are telling me that PMing it to everyone that is actually on the list on Friday, July... [oh, I don't have a calendar... where is that calendar on my computer... there it is, o.k.] July 6th is a good idea. Anyone disagree with the voices?

 

[chefann]

Sounds good to me, Katie.BTW- do you prefer Katie, Kate, Kit.....? (My niece is a Catherine, and she changes her mind every few months about what she wants to be called.)

 

[pamperedlinda]

DH and I are going a few days early for a mini-vacation. I'll PM you before we leave and you can just send me whatever you have at that time (I'll probably want it on Thurs). Thanks!

 

[katie0128]

Actually, my given name really is Katie - not Kathryn, Kathleen, Kathy, etc. But, you can call me what you want, so long as you could type it on here and it wouldn't get ****ed out!

So that means you actually expect that I'm going to type it before hand???? Aren't we a bit optomistic today?!?!?! <giggle>

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
