A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

Prom! Right. Going to hotel on Saturday to get info about our potential dates. Sorry! Got caught up in a lot of work and personal stress.

It's in Pasadena this year, isn't it?

Yep, which is why I need to actually book the hotel.

In case anyone besides me is trying to remember what the last thing was on the dates, here it is:

The results are in! We have unanimously voted for Pasadena, and of the 38 people who voted, 22 say they are likely or very likely to attend (not counting significant others). We will have a run off vote between two weekends in June (June 16-17 or 23-24) once I get prices from the hotel. Woot! F2F 2012!

Any northern Michigan-istas* around? I'll be vacationing near Traverse City this August, between the 3rd and the 10th. It would be great to meet up, eat some cherry pie, visit a winery, etc. I'll be doing family stuff over the weekend, but I'm pretty free after that.

*Northern lower peninsula MI, that is. No idea why the generally accepted terminology totally ignores the UP, but there it is.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because there is "Up North" and then there is "The UP".

If you do not mind visitors to where you are, I will (hopefully) not be working again this summer and would LOVE to come up there! We have family in Kalkaska that we need to go see, anyway.

That area is so beautiful.

Aims, that would be terrific! Since I'm renting a cottage, I'd love to have guests.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For the first time in 17(!) years I will not be working near Traverse City in the summer. I will probably visit but I don't know when yet.

Aims, one of the places I stay up there is in (Alaska!?) Kalkaska.

I haven't been in that area for years, even though I lived across the mitt in Alpena until I was 15. Still, I remember it being gorgeous, too. And much, much cooler than NC in the summer.
