But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I'm getting the pig!

Suzi, it's called Salvatore's Vita Bella, up past Belleview on Kipling. Very tasty.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've attended four F2Fs and had a total blast at each one, and I really want to go to another one. It just won't be this year's, because we're leaving for our honeymoon (finally!) on June 18th.

It may be a few more years before I can go to another F2F, in fact. But I really, really hope they keep happening. Seeing the pictures and reading everyone's happy reports make me glad to be a part of this community, and I think they help keep us connected to each other, even if only a small number of people can go in any given year. And, dammit, I WILL go to another one someday!

Yay, sj! We just found a new Italian restaurant that (IM non-Italian O) is better than the that other place we went to the last time you and D were here. If there's time, we should go. (Especially since it's your fault that we found them last night because you were talking about zeppole in another thread and I suddenly HAD to have some.)

Nicole, that sounds lovely! I can't wait to see you again and finally meet your DH!

Exactly. I hope they keep happening, regardless of overall attendance.

Nicole, I honestly don't know if it would make enough of a difference at this point. I'd like to say it's possible, but I am so deeply pessimistic at the moment that I can't see it happening. When I pull my head out of the sand and figure out my taxes, I'll have a more balanced idea of where I sit.

I have space at my place too, and may have a spare car.

DCistas: We are hoping to meet Suzi for dinner tonight at Lauriol Plaza at about 6:30 p.m. If anyone wants to join us, I'll be able to check my profile addy until about 4 p.m.

I've got to leave at 7, but I will come by for a drink and a hug!

We got here early. Our dogs are barking. We are hanging at the bar...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

June 25th is a possibility for me. of course if time is not an issue -- money could be . I am doing the 3 day walk for the cure -- and it will sort of depend how much money of raised by then...

that's the price of commitment I guess
