sj! You are going to see Buffistas! You will be surrounded by love and humor. If your packing is less than perfect, chances are, someone will lend you, or help you find a replacement for, any necessity that you happen to miss. You will be loved and valued even if every single outfit your bring is totally mismatched, and has holes in it. If you pack thirty curling irons and no combs, no one will laugh unless you do. Be gentle with yourself.
Thanks, Windsparrow. I just have too many things going on in my head right now. Stuff I need to let go of for a few days so I can have fun. Plus I need to shut up that inner voice that says everyone is going to hate me.
I've had two... mebbe three glasses of a very good New Zealand Riesling.
And artichoke and cheese dip for dinner.
And wine. It was good wine.
I'm verra sleepy now.
ETA: Whoopsie, I killed the thread.
Plus I need to shut up that inner voice that says everyone is going to hate me.
Worked for me.
Plus? Having my beautiful Windsparrow there kept the focus off me directly, and I still enjoyed myself.

Oh, yeah. No way I would have the nerve to go if I couldn't hide behind TCG.
I'm haunted by a very special academic version of l'esprit d'escalier, in which I understand what's the real question I wanted to ask hours later.
I'm wondering how long it'll take to get rid of it. I'm there for almost a year now.
We are back from our long trip through the South.
I am sad to report, that Emmett had a most extreme negative reaction to the clean-sweep perpetrated on his room in his absence. There was actual and prolonged sobbing at the unrequested makeover. It was a bad return on a very good trip.
I suspect he's at the point where he needs to be involved in do-overs on his room instead of allowing his mom executive fiat.
I am here to say that Mr. Flea makes a spectacular Peach and Blueberry Pie, and amych and her husband are very fine companions to take to a minor league baseball game, and that Ginger is the most accommodating hostess, and that it was very lovely to spend time with flea both with and without Dillo and Casper.
Kristin- a bit late now, but one of my omnivorous friends introduced me to sweet potato and black bean burritos, which she frequently serves at mixed-eater events and always goes over very well.
- Steamed sweet potato cubes
- cuban spiced black beans (she makes em from scratch, i am lazy and buy cans at TJ)s
- shredded pepper jack cheese for thems that likes cheese,
- salsa for thems that likes heat....
everyone assembles their own so no one gets fillings they don't want.
Tasty, filling, nutritious, and most meat eaters don't miss the lack.
ugg. I didn't convert any movies over to put on the iPhone. Too late to start now. No movies for me on the plane I guess. Aarrgggh! (yes, I am trying to multi-task-pack, and not doing a good job. Tired brain not working well. Will nap once laundry is in dryer.)
Psst. Public webcam chat on Saturday, hon. < /cheering up >
I handed in my application. Dear God, dear God, dear God. Let this one not be too harsh to my fragile ego.
