Now Ann!No it is not dirty and no, I am not into comedy routines so I will not be showing any body parts! You nasty women you! I can't wait to meet you!
I ain't sayin nothing else about it. Not until it gets the stamp of approval from DebPC herself. So...
Oh yeah! I almost forgot, I did tell her about the picture frames!
And I think she will be in town by Sunday night. At least, so far that's the plan.
Crud, gotta go!

Two years ago...I went without anyone from my immediate group. Due to prior engagements my director and a director under her, who I have attended with EVERY YEAR that I have gone, decided that with weddings and other things to pressing, not to go, I was very apprehencive. You know what, I had a very good time anyway. I am not one of those people though that shys away from meeting new people. I talked to everyone on the busses, in the halls at McCormick and any where else I happened to be. (Except the BATHROOMS but that's in another post in this thread and guys just don't do that!), standing outside waiting for busses at the Hilton after the executive banquests, any where! I atteneded the dinner of my Senior Executive Director where I sat with my Director's Director and her group. They are a splendid bunch of people and I had a ball. So unless you have issues meeting people and being really shy, open yourself up to it and go with it! It can be a blast no matter who you attended with or WITHOUT!
And Janet, if your out here posting on Chef Success, and you sound like a very nice person, you must be a people person so you won't have a problem meeting anyone! Make it not just about the sessions. Make it all about meeting new people! And make sure you are posting in that thread. Maybe you can plan a meeting with someone so you do have someone to hang out with in a preplanned way. Now it's sounds like a dating service but well, it sort of is, isn't it?

Too funny John!
My recruiter switched waves with me so we're both going to Wave 2 and Terra from here is going to room with us, so I think we'll have a great time!
...and yes, I'm a people person. My husband works at a Christian camp and we have about 200-300 people coming and going every week. If I'm going to spend any time there and have fun, you meet people.
...on the bathrooms, yes women are more open to chatting there...guys, well I understand, you don't want to be construed as hitting on the guy next to you while they are doing their private business - LOL!

Men and bathrooms, men and sleeping arrangements......gheeesh, they make it so complicated!
I just had to book a hotel for my DH and a couple friends for a big Car Show in Columbus OH - and finding an acceptable room for the 3 of them took most of the afternoon! They want 1 room (to cut down on cost) but they all want their own bed. I finally found one at a "Suites" Hotel w/ 2 Queens and a Pull-Out - DH was so excited! They don't have to get a rollaway or bring sleeping bags or anything!
I told him that if it was women in that Suite - we could have 6 easily!

I'm starting to - just get tired really easy - and it's a tired that is hard to explain - like tired to the bone.........but the Dr. told me that I should be feeling ALOT better in 4-5 weeks - which would put me right about at Conference time - so I am really looking forward to Conf., and actually having the energy to enjoy myself!
Wish I could sing Barry tunes at the Piano Bar w/ you 2nd wavers too, though!

OkRemember I mentioned a surprise that I would have at the meet and greets, well, check out my new thread. Deb PC gave me the OK to post so I figured I would. I think I called it "Remember that surprise..."
Janet that's way cool! At least this way you know who you are having dinner with on those days when you get to go out. Although a "blind" date can be fun!
What I don't get is why guys think they are all that special that some other guy is gonna hit on them anyway! Geez, talk about ego trips!
