Anyone what to go for 7??

:p

Love ya Morfia!! I'm so looking forward to seeing you, or make that "less" of you. How much have you lost so far?
 
I guess if you have family in the area you would go for 7, Karynne. LOL

I will stick with 9...I need to make some $$ before I go.
 
I'm ready to start packing.
I've got the kids all shuffled off while DH is at work, allstar and football camp figured out for the boys so I can go with a little less stress. I feel bad that I won't be at my son's allstar game but I'll make it up when we go to Disney.
I soooooooo need this trip to "restart" I'm in a slump and need to snap out of it.

Its been a while since I've posted here so sorry for those who don't know who I am, I just one wild and crazy gal who loves TPC
 
Awwww Ida! Where in NorCal are you??? i'm flying out of San Jose on Wed. morning. I can't wait to get there!!!
 
I live about 2 hrs north of SF in Willits, "The Gateway to the Redwoods".
I'll be flying out of SF this time, but San Jose is a great place to fly out of. Are you flying into Midway and at what time?

Remember last year when you, Amanda, Morfia, and I went to Shulla's?
That was a fun time.
 
OK, no laughing....I'm almost completely packed already! LOL I won't be here Fri-Sun to get anything done, Monday is my little one's 3rd b-day,then Tuesday I would like to relax before I get on that bus Wed. morning. I've got a few things left to wash/pack, and a few more things to find that I would like to take.

I can relate sorta we didn't move but my 10 yr class reunion is 3 days before we leave and I got parties and vendor booth and the 4th of july celebration which is a 3 day event in our town for the "oldest rodeo in ID" it is so draining afterwards. Then I got the kids starting in summer school and this week my son and hubby are gone for boyscout camp and then with me being the secetary for the Friends of NRA we have a booth over the 4th of july celebration as well so I am thinking my conference is a vacation away from vacation.... I am so excited but have so much to do before I leave I am just blah.... I am sure when will know who we are when we are walking around like zombies. lol
 
It sounds like we all need this break and Cheryl, you should pack something, but just make sure you spend at least 5 min with me at the top. LOL!

I'm not sure if this all makes since.

I identify with you. 3 years ago we moved in 3 days before conference, dropped clothing on the pull out bed, closed on our old house 2 days before conference, had a breast biopsy the day before conference, went to conference icing my breast with baggies full of ice, hubby picked me up in the rv at conference last day and drove to new york for 3 week vacation to visit uncle, came home to all boxes, clothing to put away.but had too much i wanted to do post conference to grow business. It will all wait! Take a deep breath and enjoy life. Hope to meet you at conference. If i don't make the meet & greet thu 11. Look for me i'll be in a scooter. Stop me and say hi.
 
8 more days 'til Conference... 7 days (1 week) for those of us getting there on Wednesday!!!
 
Yes, in one week from today I will be flying out of FL to Chicago for my first visit to Chicago and my first NC. I feel like a virgin! Ha !Ha! :p
 
HA HA!! No comment Danielle! ;-)

I can't wait- this time next week I will be in Chicago making my way through O'Hare! Now just deciding what to pack since NJR doesn't have a theme. I think I need more shoes! lol
 
I think a shopping spree at Kohl's is in order!
