CONVENTION 2008 - Page 4

AGDee · #1 05-31-2008, 05:57 PM

I got a new white dress and I don't know if I like it but I've been looking around and I'm not finding anything better so I might be stuck with it. When I tried it on, my daughter said "That looks like a Greek Goddess dress". I said "Well that's appropriate then, isn't it?"

I have bought all the shoes and have been wearing them so they will be broken in. I'm determined not to get blisters this time! I can't believe how soon it will be here!

I've also had to take so much time off work for other things that I've cancelled my extra day at the end of the trip, so I'm flying home early in the 23rd. Oh well, I'll maximize my time on the 17th and 18th. I have until 3 pm available Wednesday...

It is 97 degrees in San Antonio today.

who all is doing the 5K at convention?

I am! Although I'd really like to try to run some of it, rather than walk. I've been talked into doing a duathlon in August... talk about something I never dreamed I would be doing!

I still need to try on my white dress. Maybe I'll remember tonight. If it is falling off me, I will be shopping soon. It it will do, it will do

. I really don't have the $ to be buying anything else right now... my kids are off to camp in the morning and my wallet is rather empty from that.

Dee,
For those of us not attending, can you post Convention Pictures (hmmm...looks like another thread)

If they use the same service as last time (or a similar one) the professional ones will all be available online! I will try very hard to take lots of pictures and share them but I do tend to get so busy that I forget to take my camera out. Between all of us who are going, I'm sure we'll have a good selection!

MB: I think I have 3 places to be at once during flag bearing rehearsal, but I'll just have to juggle. I think two of the three things end at 5 and flag rehearsal starts at 5. Note to self: Comfortable shoes are a must that day!

Mr./Ms Jury Person, could you please excuse my hubby early from jury duty. He has to pick me up from the airport 3 hours before the end of your day.

T - 22 days.

T - 20 days before I get on a plane

.

I found out today that I might be needing to pack an LCD Projector. Anyone want to imagine how that might fit in my luggage?

In your carry-on? Seriously, you might have to ship some of your stuff to the hotel if you're going to pack an LCD.

ETA: I think I need to print out a couple day planner pages for Convention. I truly think that I'm triple booked, more than once... I have now been asked to be a Deputy in the Epsilon Pi ceremony and there is a rehearsal that goes along with that also!

ETA (again!): I changed my flight so I'll be leaving SA on the 23rd instead of the 24th. My time off bank was going to be too dangerously low if I took that extra day off. The change in flight cost less than the hotel for the extra day would have, so I guess I saved money too.

Seriously - I'm so in touch with that it isn't even funny. And I'm betting I may have just triple/quadruple booked you with an email I sent you!

I did that in Atlanta. Just so cool. I love the Epsilon Pi Ceremony. Actually, I just love our Ritual. Friday night will be awesome.

<dashes off to check Imail>

I'll be in touch.. after I do that planner page!

DoctorD · #12 06-15-2008, 12:26 AM

I got it from Nancy and from you... and I'm thinking I still have shopping to do. Wondering when...and where...

AGDee · #13 06-15-2008, 04:26 PM

Laundry is happening. All travel items (including candy!) are purchased. See me at Ask the Experts in the Welcome Center on Friday before lunch to get candy

(or to ask Risk Management questions, which is why I'll really be there) Or, come to one of my roundtables! Packing will commence when laundry is done!

Laundry is happening for me only because the kids are home from camp and they brought laundry with them!

Looks like one more shopping expedition is in order tomorrow evening. And the rate I'm going, the manicure/pedicure may need to wait until Wednesday morning in San Antonio! [Although I'm hoping I can squeeze it in tomorrow before I teach and deliver the kiddos to their dad]

Looking forward to seeing happy squirrels in San Antonio!

I may get a pedi Wednesday too, unless I find time tomorrow or Tuesday morning. I realized that I don't have to leave for the airport until 11.

I just have to pack jewelry and toiletries. I used to have all these big chunky bead necklaces and big chunky colored earrings in just about every color of the rainbow in the late 80's/early 90's. Then, my girlie played with them when she was into her "dress up" phase at 3 and 4, and they all got destroyed. Now, they are back in and I need some red. So, I think a trip to Target is in order. My Alpha Gam jewelry is easy to pack because I keep it altogether anyway. Since I mainly where it when I'm travelling, life is easier that way. I did realize that my Alpha Gam watch battery is dead

. I might be able to drop it off to have the battery changed before the pedi on Tuesday morning... yep, that should work! It's my favorite watch, all Alpha Gam Italian charms with a watch face.. very fun.
