Wife, Pack Mule, what's the difference?
First, read this posting of ragingamazon's wish list.
Since I am conveniently going to Thailand it is my job to bring any and all items people wish to give her. Unfortunately, I can't contribute much more than the labor of getting stuff there, but I can make the giving as easy (and hopefully fun) as possible. If enough people are interested - and I sincerely hope that's the case - I would like to have a "get ragingamazon stuff"/"farewell to me" brunch.
Now, assuming I can get this thing to happen, I would like to make one thing very clear. While the inspiration for this get-together did come from me trying to figure out a good way to get ragingamazon's presents together, it is absolutely not necessary or expected that anyone bring a gift. Please don't refrain from attending because you can't contribute. There will be lots of pictures taken and a scrapbook to sign, and it would mean a lot to ragingamazon for as many people as possible to participate in that. Most importantly, I will want to see you. As I said, this is also a farewell party for me (after all, you'll need something to keep you going during my absence) and I don't want to miss out on being able to say good-bye to any of you. (Okay, so maybe it's me that needs something to keep going. I can't help myself. I'm addicted to my friends, and there aren't any rehab programs for that.)
So, if you're interested in coming, please for the love of Chance comment to that effect. There's a lot to plan for this, not the least of which is me asking around for hosting space (which I will obviously only do if there's enough interest), and not much time to do it in.
