I think I'm gonna tell DH that HO bans cameras so we can't take any pictures and will have none to share! His sense of humor when it comes to this stuff is, well, no existant!
 
I am glad to see that my DH is not the only one who has a non existent since of humor when it comes to these types of things.

I don't care when you take the test as long as it is before conference AND you tell us the results!!! Now we are going to have to monitor you at the meet 'n greet... no drinking for you...

You guys can monitor me all you want.. but even if I am prego or not I can't drink at all... for a couple of reasons 1. I am allergic to Liquor 2. Religious reasons I am Mormon. and yes I don't' even drink coffee...... But if I have taken the test..... by then I will share it with everyone at the meet'n greet!!! :)
 
OMG- I'm such an insensitive clod. I didn't even think about that when I suggested the bar for our meet 'n' greet. I apologize. Unfortunately, too many people are planning to go there now that it would be a royal pain to switch locations. Can I buy you a fruit juice or something (that evening) to make up for it, Leah?

Hey Ann - I'm not Leah, but just wanted to chime in (I always have an opinion!:rolleyes: )
I think it's fine to meet at the Bar - they serve non-alcoholic drinks too. Which is what I will be drinking at the Meet n Greet! ;)
 
I know they serve non-alc drinks, but some people choose not to even go to establishments that serve liquor. And I'd hate to accidentally exclude someone because of that.
 
Of course I can't speak for Leah either but she sounds excited about the meet 'n greet so I don't think the place matters. It's the greeting that makes the difference. Don't worry your pretty little head about it Ann!

Yeah - that's what I was trying to say too. Don't beat yourself up! You are doing a good job organizing this for all of us.

'Bout time, Katie!

BTW- if you still have those 2 extra buttons, bring them to the meet n greet. I sent 2 out to Amanda already.

I kinda figured it was a bar.. and aslong as they have soda or water I will be fine... and you didnt' offend me in the least little bit... I might be Mormon and I might not drink but I dont' always act like it.... so no worries!!
 
If you guys offend me I would be the first to tell you..... it's okay really it is......
 
I just worry (too much) about what people think, and "Am I offending them?"

So we're good. Good.
:)
 
Your not the only one that worries about that!!!

Yeah - whatever!

Oh buttons... I completely forgot. I knew there was something I had in the van to take to the post office, but figured I took it because it wasn't on the seat any longer... gotta find them.

[lightbulb flicking on]... THAT is what the "PC stuff" my hubby said he moved to my storage area... I wondered what he was talking about... I just thought he was crazy! O.k., now I know where they are... I'll put them in my purse to bring. Sorry about that!

with hands cupped to mouth - SORRY AMANDA!
