sj, since money is a bit of an issue you can wait for a bit to see if they lower fares closer to your desired date. My family all met in California recently, and our tickets weren't TOO bad. The tickets were also considerably cheaper one month before than when my sister started looking 6 months before we wanted to go. Might not work, but you never know.

It's my mother's fault I'm looking into any of this anyways. She's evil.

msbelle sent me some adorable pink snowman fabric. I told mom about it and said I might use *some* of it to make some squares for Quilt Pink! [link] Now mom thinks we should work together and make a whole pink and white snowman quilt for Quilt Pink! Which, ok, would be adorable, and I would love to do, but I wanted to make something for myself too. Actually, there's probably enough of it that there will still be some left over, even after using it in a quilt.

So, anyway. I've been looking at possible quilt patterns all night. And, I came across my old Patchwork and Stitching magazines. And, actually, it had a couple of good options. And I was reminded how much I LOVED that magazine, and went looking for it, hoping I could find it somewhere nearby to start getting it again. And I did! YAY!

So, I'm telling my dad that it's all mom's fault that I'm spending this money. Or, I might not buy it now. But, at least I know it's there.

sj, I tried the Flexible option on expedia and if you could stand flying out of Boston, it looks like you could get a flight to Dallas from Oct 26 or 27th through Nov 2 for $305. And if you're able to be even more flexible with times (for the same dates), there's a flight for $268.

Just an idea. Also, insent.

NICOLE!!!!!

SUZI!! How's your evening, bebe?

Where's Juliana? I managed to get scary sunburned yesterday on our walk through SF, and I've decided to blame her.

(what? there might be a free mojito in it for me)

What were the dates on the 268? Sometimes the money saved by flying out of Boston isn't worth the gas money to drive into Boston, the hassle of trying to find someone willing to take me into Boston, or the money it would cost to take the train, etc, but it is an option.

The dates were the Oct 26 or 27 through Nov 2nd. But I think it was only offered with 1 stop each way. Which might be too inconvenient. Still, as the dates get closer, it's possible other direct flights could drop that low.

I can deal with a connection, as long as the frelling airport remembers my wheelchair. I did recieve you're e-mail, but I am brain dead right now, so I didn't respond. I still have to write 2-3 pages on infant nutrition and am having school panic. Not sure why.

No worries. I'm heading off to bed soon. The three and a half hours of sleep last night was *not* enough. As long as I don't get sucked into this ep of Psych.
