Your not the only one....... As of right now I can not find my bed....... my poor DH he has to go to bed soon because he has to be at work at 6am.... LOL I guess he has to sleep on the couch for a while tonight!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I'm nowhere near packed...it'll happen Sunday before I leave the house. Tomorrow is a day full of laundry and grocery shopping. Woo hoo! I need to do my laundry as well as the kids'. I can't wait for Sunday!!

I am leaving on Saturday!!!! I can't wait... tomorrow I have a full day of packing, grocery shopping.... and doing the final touches on stuff!!!!

Okay, for any of you following the "light jacket or sweater" saga.............

My friend let me borrow two of hers!!! WOO HOO! Now you can all relax because the poor California girl who wouldn't stop complaining about not being able to find a sweater in July just had her problem solved!

Whew, that was a mouth full!

Hey I am not doing much better than you...... this poor Oregon girl is use to really cool weather living on the Oregon coast, I had to remind myself three times that my PC sweater would be plenty...... I am trying to scale my weight down on my suitcase this year!!!!! Hopefully I have done it good enough that I can carry my luggage!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Good luck! I haven't even started packing yet so we'll see how the weight of my suitcase goes. This is my 1st conference so I have the "gotta pack everything" syndrome.

That was me last year... I paid UA airlines a total of $100.00 in overage fees!!!! Four outfits for me this year!!! and I have room to spare... well until I was reminded that on Saturday night we are all craming into a room because of our roomies isn't' coming in until Sunday... so I have to bring a twin size air mattress I don't' know how I am going to blow the dang thing up ........ Oh well I haven't slept on twin size anything since I was 14 years old!!! ROFL!!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

ROTFL too!!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

My luck I will literally roll on the floor laughing because I rolled off the air mattress in the middle of the night!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Rotfl Hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Oh my goodness I don't' think I have laughed this hard in a long time!!

Is your room so small that you couldn't request a roll-away bed? I would much rather pay for a r/a bed than lug an air mattress only to wonder how to blow it up - I mean I know us cheffers have enough hot air to fill a mattress or two but waist that air on the HO tour bus!!

I come in Sunday around 2 pm, but I would have come in on Saturday. I really would've liked to have a day to shop and sight see.

 

[Christ Follower]

Hey, there wont be anyone to count down the last day huh? We'll all be in Chicago by then!

 

[DanielleQ]

I'll have my laptop--anyone else?

 

[Christ Follower]

No laptop for me!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I have a lap top but I am not lugging around a 7.5 lb computer with me in Chicago I did it last year and I wont' do it again!! Though if I do nto get this homework done by tomorrow morning.. I am going ot have to bring it with me.... .

 

[etteluap70PC]

I will be bringing my laptop but will not be lugging it to workshops, Althought I will have my rolling briefcase I think that would be too much!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Well I got my homework done... YEAH I do not have to bring my laptop with me!!!!! yeah!!!!

 

[DanielleQ]

I'm taking mine so all in our room can have internet access. Can I take a carry on and my laptop and a purse on the plane? Or does my laptop count as the carry on?

 

[ljeffries]

You are typically allowed 2 items - put your purse in your laptop case if you need to. Remember to be careful with your liquids in your carryon!

 

[etteluap70PC]

usually you can check 2 bags. Then have 1 cary on and a purse or briefcase. You can check your airline website to be sure.

you will also find all the liquid guidelines there.

For Carry on yes that is exactly correct!

 

[chefann]

[ChefBeckyD]

Hey, there wont be anyone to count down the last day huh? We'll all be in Chicago by then!

I don't leave til Monday morning........we have a 1 1/2 hour drive, and then a 1 hour train ride. So I'll be here til the bitter end!

 

[kimmers]

Thanks Becky, we appreciate you hanging in there till the bitter end. I am leaving tomorrow, and I am sooooooo excited I almost can't stand it. If I was any happier, I would have to sit on my hands to keep from waving at everybody.



See you all soon.

Kim

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I am soo glad that I got to see everyone... and if i didn't' say HI.. that was because I didn't' recognize everyone!!! LOL

 

[Christ Follower]

Hi anyway...

I am soo glad that I got to see everyone... and if i didn't' say HI.. that was because I didn't' recognize everyone!!! LOL

I think we had a class together but I never saw you! I was kinda bummed! Maybe by next year...

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I was looking for CS Buttons..... I had mine on the whole time...... I think we had a couple of classes together... then again I don't' even know what you look like..... maybe next time!!!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

I had mine on my tote until day 3 because it was getting in my way. If I ever figure out the mysteries of a little thing I call the "computer" I will post a picture. Even then, it might be of my kids until I find a decent one of me.
Maybe we'll meet next year...

I was wearing a black sweater with a CS button on it.. but it also had the ribbon for Paige attached to it as well......hey not everyone is a computer geek like my DH!!!! did you go to the meet and greet?

 

[Christ Follower]

Nope. It was my first conference and I stayed at the Palmer house. The one and only person I knew there (my director) isn't into CS. She thinks it had great ideas and is glad I get support here but she chooses to use her time differently. She had a point, this message board is way too addicting! Anyway, I was too chicken to venture out alone to find it. Maybe by next year.

[Christ Follower]

Well next year then! It looks like you all had a TON of fun!
