Jon, insent with my flight info. IIRC, you and Emily and vw are arriving before me, so I'll wait for one of you to meet me at the arrivals gate or baggage claim or wherever seems to be the obvious meeting spot for my flight.

Okay, half an hour to shower and finish packing? I can do that.

I can't believe I actually have to work today rather than skip away to DC!

grumble

Tomorrow. Tomorrow is a good thing. Packing? What's that? You mean maybe I should have thought about that before now?

What do you mean by this "laundry" word?

I'm doing laundry now, AIFG?

I'm packed, and the suitcase is in my car. I'm a little bummed that I somehow lost one stocking, so I had to pack regular pantyhose rather than the garterbelt/stocking combo, but that's life.(Yes, I only own one set of stockings at the moment, and I've only worn them once. sigh)

t natter I am old enough to recall the time that pantyhose became regularly available. When I was a girl we all wore garter belts. I still remember the uncomfortable indents in my then skinny legs from the stupid garments. It was a wonderful day the first time I wore pantyhose. t /natter

Sniff. I"m so sad that I felt like crap last night and went to BED instead of to Anne's. I went to bed at 7PM.

BUT, I figure that's pre-emptive sleep for this weekend, right? Now I can go wihtout for the rest of the weekend, yeah?

I'm sitting in the lobby of the hotel, waiting for Ed to come down. I spent last night at Lyra Jane's, so I can't check in for hours. They have wireless in the lobby, AIFG.

Last night's BBQ at Anne's was really great, getting to know new people, and seeing people I had already met again, and laughing a lot. Mostly at MM, but some other stuff too. Both Anne and Lyra Jane are great hostesses, and Lyra Jane's husband is really funny, and fits in with the Buffistas very well, as does Bicyclop's wife.

I. Forgot. My. Clie. At. Home.

Did I remember to bring 5 outfits for Prom, in case I change my mind? Oh, yes. Did I remember to bring a backgammon board so that I can finally play a game or two with La Tep? Naturally! And extra shoes, and a Fairy Jasmine bath bomb, and a million other relatively trivial items? Of course!

But my PDA, which I carry with me every day, and has loads of vital and otherwise useful information? No, that's sitting in its cradle on my desk. My desk at home. Where I am not. I half expect to come home on Sunday and find my brain lying there next to it.

Askye and Beverly are here!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm here! Checked in, went and grabbed some coffee and a bagel, and now I think it's time for a nap. Are there/will there be lunch plans?

ETA: Lee, I checked in about ten minutes before you posted about not being able to check in. Huh. And damn, I must have missed you and Ed in the lobby by minutes.

Also, the internet connection in my room does have a cable, so if anyone needs one for the weekend, I've got an extra.
