PM sent - cool wasn't it?

 

[PampMomof3]

Very cool!!! How thoughtful as well.

 

[Paula R. Lewis]

WHO HOO! Only 12 days! WOW!

I'm getting excited. I got my pillow present in the mail last night since I won't be with my cluster...so cool!

OK, I'll bite...what's a "pillow present"?? Is this from your upline, or from Home Office?

Today is 7/1/07.

Days until the start of Wave 2: 11.


I know that I keep harping on the “pack light” thing. Now I’m going to tell you to bring something extra—a small first aid kit. A blister, a headache, or an upset tummy can really make it difficult to enjoy NC. If possible, make it something small you can carry with you during the day. A few Band-Aids, some aspirin, and some tummy tablets are well worth the space they take up.

Definitely BAND-AIDS! I wear the same shoes all the time and for some reason, all the walking at conference last year caused them to give me blisters! I always have band-aids and tylenol and am a very popular person there! If you need some, look for me!

 

[GourmetGirl]

I second that small 1st aid kit... I brought blister bandaids, tylenol, kleenix and snacks with me each day last year and every day I had multiple people need something. Also on my list this year is a small bottle of tums, as with that little sleep and so much running around, I am sure some heartburn will hit!

Our ED leaves a present each conference on the first night on the pillow of everyone in her cluster. It is a neat, fun gesture.

I have to always bring my own - that whole latex allergy thing...

Today is 7/2/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 10.Arriving early or staying an extra day? Talk to your cluster or traveling buddies about any touristy things you want to do—see a play, visit a museum, etc.

 

[mistygillette]

OK, I'm REAL new here... Noone go crazy on me.... I've been reading a lot of posts and see the Wave thing everywhere. What is Wave 1, 2, and 3??

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

 

[raebates]

There are so many of us they can't have us all at National Conference at the same time. So, they divide us into three groups, which they call waves. This year Wave 1 is Monday, July 9 through Wednesday, July 11. Wave 2 is Thursday, July 12 through Saturday, July 14. Wave 3 is Monday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 18.

Today is 7/3/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 9.We're down to single digits! Do you have your Chef Success button? I’ll have ribbons to represent our stars. Don’t forget to get one from me.

 

[chefann]

I just wanted to post that I'm out of buttons at my house.
Here's what I put in the "Buttons" thread:

Buttons are gone!To get one now, you'll need to order from Cafe Press. They've been shipping pretty quickly. While you're there, pick up a "Thinking about Paige" or "Praying for Paige" button from Kimmy's shop.

I popped in on this thread since I was here looking for info on Paige. My 26 month old LOVES your new avatar! He keeps screaming and pointing to it whenever I am reading one of your posts!

I miss seeing you and your adorable "guys", though!

I can't wait for conference!!! We are pulling out on Wed morning (the 11th) and I am soooooooooo stoked!

Kelly - you'd BETTER be at the Meet and Greet for Wave 2!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Kelly - you'd BETTER be at the Meet and Greet for Wave 2!

Okay! But I don't know when and where it is! Remember, I have been off the face of the planet ChefSuccess for a while! I want to meet all of you, so give me details!

 

[raebates]

We're meeting up with some of the Wave 1 people on Wednesday, 9 p.m., at the Java Lounge in the Sheraton.The official Wave 2 Meet & Greet will be Thursday, 9 p.m., at the Java Lounge at the Sheraton. You're welcome to bring a gift of $5 office supplies for the exchange.And, I got tired of looking at myself. If you're really missing my family picture, you can always check out my profile. It's still there.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

Oh, cool! I didn't realize there was a Wave 1 1/2 (read wave 1 and a half) meet-up!

 

[raebates]

Today is 7/4/07.

Days until the start of Wave 2: 8.


Do you snore? I do. Talk to your roommates about what to do if someone’s snoring is disturbing you. I usually tell my roommates that if I’m snoring too loud they are welcome to shake me, wake me, turn me over, suffocate me with a pillow, whatever it takes.

That's funny Rae!! Hmmm, I don't think I do but my roomies 2 yrs ago said I did. I'm going to have to ask my dh!

 

[janetupnorth]

Do you snore?

Only when I'm pregnant!

...and that IS NOT happening before or after NC!

LOL!! Does your husband think different?

 

[raebates]

Today is 7/5/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 7.Only one week! Don’t forget to take address labels with you. Some speakers will have handouts. Sometimes they run low. You’ll want to make sure they have your address, and a sheet of address labels is easy to carry and use. You can make things even easier by bringing a few self-addressed envelopes. That way you can just write what you want them to send on the back.

 

[chefkristin]

I have the Thursday night one all set. I think I may be going to Navy Pier on Wednesday night with the rest of my cluster. But if I am around I would love to meet some of Wave 1. I can't believe it is a week away!!

 

[janetupnorth]

Nope...snip...snip...

 

[quiverfull7]

On the snoring issue... my friends tell me the breath right strips work wonders... my husband uses them and he's been known to slap one on my nose in the middle of the night if I "happen" to be snoring myself. That was NOT my dream fantasy of having him awaken me but he sure did sleep better!

 

[yummybytes]

Nope...snip...snip...

I so love the snip snip... stress free happiness!

 

[janetupnorth]

Yep, but the joke around here is that at age 40, I'll be pregnant again (you know those 1 in XXXX cases where the surgery reverses itself, etc.)

But if that happens, guess it is time for one more...

Until then, yes, stress free...I developed an allergy to latex about 4 years ago so this works MUCH better.

 

[janetupnorth]

...just thinking...

Wait 'til the media gets ahold of that one!

(Don't worry media, we are talking about our husbands!!!!!)
