Yes, that is exactly how I think things should go. Except with tiaras.

And action figures!

Maybe you could arrange to zombify us all, that way there could be shuffling to music and dialogue. Mostly of the "aargh, streusel" and "aargh, should have been in New York" variety, but even Buffistas would lose some of their conversational sparkle after the death and cross-continental dragging, I'd hazard.

Looking forward to meeting y'all in a couple of days.(Sorry about the Southernism. I lived in North Carolina for seven years and my typing picked up an accent.)

should be fun Sheryl. do you need anyone's phone number so you can get in touch?

I've got 'Ouise's number, so I think I'm set, thanks.

okie dokie.

If anyone wants to go out for dinner tomorrow night, before Ouise's get together, email me at my profile address, or post here.

I'd be fine with going out for dinner first, as long as it's early enough that people will eat my food, too.

Mecha and Elena, I'll mention to Joe that that number won't be answered. Fingers crossed that there will be no problems.

Sheryl, I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Megan and/or Sue - if you wanted to bring something, I'm not making anything sweet.

I was thinking 5ish for dinner Ouise. what time were you hoping to start the gathering at your place?

I was thinking 7. We also want to make sure Sheryl knows about any changes in plan!

I'm not trying to muscle in and change plans, really! I'm just lonely since my DH is in BC and thought if anyone would like to join me for dinner, pre party, that would be cool. And of course if Sheryl and BF and friends can come, cool!

Ouise, I'll bring a banana bread!
