Countdown to Wave 2: 72 Days Left - Get Ready, Chicago!"

[Becky0216]

I still have nothing ready. I guess i need to get on the ball. I am SUPER excited to get there.

 

[pamperedalf]

Not to brag or anything but I am practically done!!!I will see you guys in a few days, well Ida I will see tomorrow.

 

[chefjeanine]

I still have nothing ready. I guess i need to get on the ball. I am SUPER excited to get there.

Me neither. I have to do laundry before I can start packing. :grumpy: I'd love to have everything ready tomorrow as I leave Sunday. That would be planning ahead for me.

 

[momoftwins]

I am doing my laundry tomorrow and packing then!!

 

[Bren706]

I have most of my clothes packed. I just have to mend a button or two on 1 shirt. I still have all the misc. stuff to pack, some of it is laying out on the spare bed already. And then there is address labels to print, postcards to write out, opportunity info, catalogs, etc. to bring with me too.

 

[jbdowd0798]

I am going shopping tomorrow for the last 2 things I want then I'll pack. I leave the house at 4am Sunday so it will be nuts.

Amanda- what time again are you leaving??? I wonder if I'll have other PC consultants on my flight. Guess I"ll have to wear something and my purse to stand out.

 

[DebbieJ]

I'm still out in Montana for my brother's wedding (which was last night). I am busy doing laundry in our condo right now b/c tomorrow we're going to Yellowstone for the entire day and then flying out first thing on Sunday.

I just hope I can get some sleep on Sunday night. I am catching a very very early train on Monday morning so I can go to the Hilton before going to McCormick. Ugh!

Our flight leaves at 7:50 on SW. I haven't flown out of San Jose, so I don't know what the airport is like. A New one for me. We will have PC shirts on.

 

[pamperedalf]

OOH, OOH It is Jul 12th somewhere in this country. So the countdown is mine today!!!!:yuck:2 days until Conference & 1 day for those coming in on Sunday. We leave in 14 hours. Can't wait to see everyone!!!Tip for the day, don't forget anything for all those procrastinators out there (me included, good thing Walgreens is close by! I need to finish DHs note so he doesn't forget to feed the dog.

 

[Flamingo]

[Kitchen2u]

I'm leaving in about 3 hours...I guess I better pack!

 

[pamperedalf]

I can't believe you guys let me get away w/ my last post. I didn't catch it when I posted earlier, but now that I am more awake I caught it.I accidently put Jan instead of Jul. I am tired, my brain is fried. I need to finish some last minute things for DH & DS but I leave in less than 7 hours. Yah!!!

 

[straitfan]

I just printed my boarding pass and plan on leaving here about 2 this afternoon. OUr flight leaves at 6am in the morning, and the airport is 3.5 hrs. away. I'm driving to a clustermates parents' house to spend part of the night anyway! Just one last check to see that I have all the info. for the CS gatherings!

C-ya in Chi-Town!

 

[kisrae]

Just a reminder in case I missed it. Don't forget to bring your postcards that we got from HO when we signed a new recruit. I just packed mine in my bag.

[pamperedalf]

[jbdowd0798]

WHAT A GREAT TIME! As I write this I'm sitting in the USO at O'Hare and wanted to give a shout out to Amanda, Morfia, Momoftwins(sorry don't have your card handy for a first name), and I can't remember one other name. :angel:

I kind of expected to meet more but then again didn't have a chance to go to the meet and greet. I hope you had fun.

Thanks for meeting with me and talking for a few minutes ladies. I had a great time at conference!!:love:

:chef::chef::chef:

 

[DebbieJ]

I had fun talking with Cheffers over my $15 Martini at the Sheraton. I caught up with a few others throughout conference and finally saw Lacy this morning at closing general session. There were photos being taken at the M&G and Morfia was going to email them to someone to post since she is picture challenged. See lots of you in Denver I hope!

 

[jwpamp]

Hey, Deb...at least YOU got served! I forgot my ID in our room and the bartender insisted on me showing her my ID before serving me a beer....uh, LOOK AT ME!!!!!

Geez, she could be my daughter!!

 

[pamperedalf]

[Koolotus]

Yep, 3 hours in and out of chi-town traffic
Luckily I had thoughts of "the Blues Brothers" to keep me awake!!!
I loved hanging with you and IDA

We had a blast too! It took us awhile to get home through San Francisco traffic. I told Ida, she needed to make me mad so I could stay awake, that didn't work. So we stopped to shop and that woke us up.

 

[MissChef]

LOL You are too funny!! My avatar wont look that good. In my pic, my boobs look like they grew three cups! LOL I can't wait to download it and post it!

Why? So you can show your boob size or just to have a pic with Jean Jonas!!?? J/K! I can understand the chest size issue. It's an every day issue!:grumpy:

 

[jbdowd0798]

LOL I jus didn't realize how big my boobs looked in pictures. I think they are blah but in this pic its either my boobs or how I was standing but WOWZERS! lol Okay so maybe I'll be nice and crop the pic so you can see my face and not just boobs! :blushing:
