CONVENTION 2008

[SassyPantsAGD]

I have the start of a packed bag...some shoes and outfits that I'm saving out to ensure no accidental food spilages occur during my short work week....

Maybe I will have some time during my day on Wednesday for a pedi...I'm getting my eyebrows waxed today...

So much to do and so little time it seems...I hope I have it all together!! Old Navy has a sale on some fun summer clothes...I just might have to stop by and check it out...I guess I will need to completely finish packing tonight to make sure I don't need anything else last minute...

I also have to give my poochie a bath tonight...my boyfriend said he didn't want to take care of a stinky yorkie while I was gone

24 hours from right about now, DoctorD and I will be having dinner in San Antonio!!! I can't believe it's finally here I still have things to do, but they are last minute things...

[DoctorD]

I just got home from last minute shopping and manicure/pedicure. STILL have laundry to do, and am ready to do packing.

Bought 2 possible dresses [with the help of my children] for Feast of Roses and some shoes that don't fit, but that will work for the walk to dinner ... After that, I may be carrying them. Am making the decision on which dress to take in a little while and the other will be saved until next convention!

Wonder what time I'll make it to bed tonight???

[AGDee]

In the morning, I have to clean the bathroom (maybe tonight), finish packing my carry on and hygiene stuff, see if I can get a new battery for one of my watches, get a pedi, buy contact solution and bug spray (per the people in the Conventions 2008 thread who have been to Knibbe Ranch who said DON'T forget bug spray there), pack up the dog's stuff, drop her off at my ex'es. I can get all that done by 11 am, right?

ETA: almost forgot "Take out the garbage".. that would be a tragic thing to forget since I'll turn the A/C off when I leave!

Oh crud... Garbage! I have to do that, too, in the morning. Ugh!

Laundry... awaits... bedtime will be sometime tomorrow, I'm afraid!

[DoctorD]

One bag is packed! Waiting on laundry, and paying bills.... Might make it to bed by 1! And then again...

[DoctorD]

I'm off, too - car is packed, plus the garbage I get to take to the dump... cat has clean litter, food, water... dishwasher is running... and so am I! So much for leaving at 9. Good thing that was an earlier than necessary departure goal... Now I'm right on time!

See everyone soon!

PS - the manicure is already toast.

^^^^Lots of Postings on You Tube. I'm still going through them. Not as good as being there, but the next best thing.

[AGDee]

I've been watching them too. It makes me want to be there again.

Hi everyone. This may be the most silly question on the board, but where can I find the pictures from Convention? I thought I had the right website, but was clearly mistaken. Thank you very much!

[AGDee]

I'm not sure many of us who are active on GC are going this year. Feel free to start a thread though!

Not me, I'll be doing something scholarly and educational, AGAIN.

Someday I'll go to Convention.

[AGDLynn]

Not me. Too expensive when I'm not working with a chapter/club. Even though I could stay with my niece, the Convention price is too much. Unfortunately, I relaize that's pretty much any convention these days and will always be. Too bad, Alpha Gam doesn' thave a humoungeous IHQ where it could be held for free or close, lol.

Maybe it will be in Atlanta before I'm 80.

I'd love to go to Convention, but it is the same weekend as the ALA annual conference. ALA is on company time and (mostly) company funding -- AGD would not be.

[DoctorD]

I'll be there. And will miss many of you not going
