Dooood, indeed. Taking the nice lady a serving of soup, yes?
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
I very well might. Going to make bean soup with veggie stock and roasted garlic and I think both red and green organic lentils and have it be the backup quickie meal for Friday night, while you and Nicole and I are off having dinner out and feeding cats. I might even make m'jedrah, if I have any time whatsoever, because I adore it, and Nic doesn't. He's not a "mess of pottage" person, but I am.
I know I'm an odd sort of person, but along with meeting people and seeing people again I've already met? Feeding cats is right up there with all the squee-worthy activities that have me bouncing at the thought.
Nilly's here! That's so awesome! YAYAYAY!
So, Deb what's the schedule on Thursday night when Nilly gets in, and on Friday night?
swounce
and again.
WooT! Nilly's actually here. Wheee!
Deb -- that lady was a class act.

Is that odd? If so, I'm also odd.
Some of you already knew that.
having dinner out and feeding cats.
DEB - What time do we need to leave by?
sumi, wasn't she? And whereas I think that soup might be a bit weird to truck down, citrus cookies and lemon bread aren't.
Trying to decide on BBQ desserts. I think, personally, that I may jettison the chapeau noir in favour of lemon bread or citrus cookies. My original list is really choc-heavy.
So, Deb what's the schedule on Thursday night when Nilly gets in, and on Friday night?
Hanging out, for as long as people like, providing that the Thursday night doesn't go too late (Nic to work in morning). I'm tossing angel hair with grated cheese, toasted pine nuts, olive oil and frsh basil leaves, and maybe a bit of garlic, Thursday night; all are welcome. Only difference between Nilly's and everyone else's is that she gets the kosher parmesan tossed into hers, while we have reggiano. I'll also get some nice simple bread, and make up some olive oil with herbs, for dipping.
Friday, I'll put a pot of home-made kosher bean soup on the simmer burner (I love having a profesasional quality stove, damn it!), settle everyone in who wants to wander in down for conversation - I gather Nilly can't watch TV on Friday night, which is a pity, because I was going to suggest (in lieu of live rock and roll, something like the DVD of Peter Gabriel's "Up" or "Secret World" tour, or the more vintage "Rock and Roll Circus". I will be catching the 7:07 train to Redwood City with Nicole and Bev, to meet up with Nic after work, for dinner (prolly Mex food at Celia's in Atherton) and catfeeding.
Nilly and Bev will both have front door keys, of course. And Jeannie will likely be home downstairs, and has a back door key.
Nicole - see above. The train is at 4th and King, a block from pacific Bell Park, at 7:07. If we're talking about leaving from my house (recommended, since we're picking up Deena and Laura and bringing them to respective abodes and also back here, if Deena feels likes relaxing on my sofa and both of you getting a ride back to the hotel after we're back), we should plan on grabbing the bus downtown at about 5:40.
Gives us plenty of time to get to the station, even on a Friday rush hour.
