Shir, I had had hopes to get to LA to meet you, but I think I may have to do with a consolation prize of an SFO meet-up. I am trying to figure out if I can do that. I would love to meet you in the international terminal, as it has the best options for pre-security and people who aren't flying can't go past security.

ETA: and strike that. :( Just went back to see which day you were at SFO and I am going to be at the vet all day on Saturday with one of my dogs. I am so sorry to miss you.

Oh, java. I'm sorry I'll miss you, too, but thank you for trying to be there, and ~ma for your dog.

SFO meet:

If we're going with the International Terminal, how about Lori's Diner? I'm suggesting it only because it's the only place on the International Terminal that's pre-security that has that name, unlike other and numerous promising places that have more than one branch, so I'll be sure I'm in the right place.

I also paid a visit to Max Brenner today. P-C, guess what I have for ya.

P-C, you are in for a treat. That's some yummy chocolate.

Oh, I got several kinds from there. But hosts get a priority. And P-C asked for specific kind of chocolate from the store, so I made sure he'll get it.

I'm good with that Shir. I'll wear a bright greenish yellow skirt to be easy to spot.

Awww, you're the best!! Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet you at SFO because I have a writing workshop till 11:30 and I can't teleport, grr. I will have to get them from someone. Thanks!

Pictures of CJ are on FB and I promise that there has been zero photoshoppin.

This may even cause a massive dusting of my practically-forgotten FB account (it also points to my old e-mail address, so I don't even get any notifications from it). I can't remember when is the last time I've logged into FB. When I don't have time to log on here, it's rare that I may log on to other sites...

Hope you and the PiToddler are doing swimmingly, Nilly.

Thanks! He's three (!) years old, so almost not a toddler but a child (the DH just calculated that this Saturday his age will be Pi, or as close to Pi as an age counted in days can be). And needless to say, I can babble about him all thread long without ever shutting my keyboard up, but it's not polite to make this all meMeME, so I won't.

Oh, and if we're in meMeME, I really need to find an online nickname for the how-can-she-be-a-year-old-already almost-not-a-baby-anymore, so I can avoid not-shutting-up about her, as well.

I think we should make this a thing and all start saying "back when I used to ride a brontosaurus to school" and then follow up with "and everyone wore onions on their belts, which was the fashion at the time."

I'm all for your past fashion choices. Yay onions-on-belts!

(Was it Jesse who told once in Natter the story about how, when a cellphone fell into the toilet, she had told the child of friends how when she had beed a child herself it wouldn't have been possible for a phone to fall into a toilet, and the chid had opened big eyes and wondered "What, there were no toilets when you were younger?")

Awww, a good day.

Oh, certainly.

I am so sorry to miss you.

Oh, it's not fair! Real-Life should not interfere like that with fun plan-making, especially the once-in-a-blue-moon sort of fun! Everybody should get days off in order to get to see Shir.

I also paid a visit to Max Brenner today.

Even more reason for everybody to get days off in order to get to see Shir.

"What, there were no toilets when you were younger?"

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's hilarious.
