You might not make the Sunday night photo, then. I'm not planning to hang around forever, because I want to get up early and get my recruit over to McC in time for her HO tour. (Of course, you know what they say about "best laid plans" :) ) I'm imagining the pic around 10:30.

OK - so I am going to take a cap from the airport directly to the hotel and will come directly to the bar! I will just have my luggage with me but oh well! LOL!

You can drop your luggage with the Concierge (sp?) so you don't have to lug it into the bar if you want.
 
Yeah that is a good idea - guess it just depends on what time it is! :-)
 
I am getting soooo excited that I can not stand it!

Yeah I know but I am a bar junkie! LOL! I don't get to go out often since having my twins!
 
I soooo get ya Sherisse!
 
I'd be there both nights too if I were coming in on Sunday but it's monday for me!
 
I should have planned to come in on monday to save some money on hotel but I did not want to deal with all the rush first thing...
 
I guess I should start packing instead of sitting here reading stuff, huh?

But I guess it depends what time you are flying tomorrow?

Don' worry Sharisse . your room will be ready for you :D

I so can't wait! I got my picture frame today. I couldn't find all the stuff I wanted to put on a frame, so I ended up buying a nice one.
 
We're just supposed to wrap it, right? I was only supposed to get ONE frame, right? If I was supposed to get two I guess there is a Walgreens close buy :rolleyes:
 
I go my frame too, but I hope ya'll don't think it is too cheesey. I am not very creative. :-( It's the thought that counts right? LOL!
 
I have two - although I still need to make my 2nd one tonight! You can do two if you want to participate in the exchange for both meet n greets!
 
Of course, Kim, its the thought that counts!

Ok ... I'll pick up a 2nd one while I'm in Chicago. No time tonight to mess with it. I really need to be packing instead on on here!
 
Am I still allowed to pop in and say hi if I don't have a frame for the MnG's?? :o

I never got around to getting one either.....and I won't tomorrow - we just made plans to go to the beach after church for the afternoon, and I'll be doing laundry and packing tomorrow night!

So we can just hang together and watch all the cool kids get presents!:rolleyes:
 
Frame is optional. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Probably won't either. I'm still stressing about what to wear and will shop a bit more tomorrow.

Sure - and JAE too!:) Maybe we can start our own "Cool Kids" clique!:D

Hey if I'm hanging with Linda, Laura, and JAE - then I AM hanging with the Cool Kids! What was I thinking???;)
 
LOL whatever. :p
 
Maybe I'll find a frame while out looking for dressy banquet skirt or slacks.
We tried the beach today, Becky. The parking lot was full, so we went back home. My kids and husband rode bikes back and I stayed home to wash the kitchen floor. EXCITING! I feel so much better, though. What beach are you going to? Around here they get full if you dont get there before 1:00 ish.
