Catching up...

So, in April and early May, when I hurt my wrist and elbow, I couldn't write much, and I had to do--OTHER THINGS. Things I couldn't type about because my wrist was hurt. For one thing, Melissa Marr and Jennifer Lynn Barnes were at MY Borders! And I do mean mine. It's the Borders in the town where I grew up and I worked at the mall across the ( Read more... )

Oooh fun pictures. I've never seen Melissa smile with her teeth before--she has a lovely smile. And Jennifer is so pretty! And YAY I finally get to see you!

And I'll be at Disney from August 16-20! Want to try to meet up? It'll be me, Adam and Aidan!!

And DUH, I can't believe you forgot about WDW being the major thing to do. The good thing about it is that there is ALWAYS something new there, so even if you go every single day, you won't get bored. LUCKY!! :) Go often and tell me about it so I can live through you.

Anyway, I hope to see you sometime in August, OK? Wheee!

Yeah!! I'd love to meet you guys! I wasn't sure when in August you were coming, so that's great!

And it's so true..Disney is never boring...it's always changing and there are plenty of things I can do more than once anyway. ^_^ I think I always wrote Disney off as too expensive, plus when I was working I would have been less inclined to take a whole day to go there...but now, I NEED something to get me out of the house that isn't just...shopping.

Cute pics! ♥

(Winter Court, if you're curious. I have such an affinity for, well, winter...)

This is really kind of a tragic statement! *magicks you out of Florida*

Totally the court I would pick, too. :)

Well, it might be WHY I have an affinity for winter. But...I don't know. I know plenty of FL natives who hate winter. I DO need to be magicked out of here!

August 14th is probably a terrible day for you to go but I REALLY want to go... it just has to be on my birthday because I can't afford Disney!! keep it in mind! I was trying to think of a way I could go and not be alone. like make a friend that has my birthday, or convincing nitt to come to florida then...

I was actually mentioning that to Dade...our blackout days ENDS on your birthday...like, what a lucky coincidence if you needed someone to go with. It is a nasty day to go, BUT...hey. It's free. We even have free parking. So let me know if you need some accompaniment.

Also, I'll probably be dying to go that day after having been forbidden from the premises for the last 2 months...

That's great news, especially with free parking! at least it will be free so we don't have to stress about going for the whole day. yay, I'll ask for the day off work!

I've never been to a Disney anything and not sure I will... though I would love to meet you in person, sometimes. Hmm.

I don't think you need to go to Disney to run into me somewhere... I'm sure I'll be doing at least a little more traveling when I have a book I can promote...and you might too! Although you are not exactly in my neck of the woods...

Ooh - visit Jackie AND go to Disney World? *seriously considers a trip*

Heehee...Disney should give me a cut if I actually motivate people to come here... ^_^ (Yes! Come!)

Visiting you too would definitely swing it for me...you wouldn't mind a family of four staying with you, right? ;) (j/k)

Well, if you can all share one fold-out couch, come on over! ;-)

Yeah, the plane tickets and Disney tickets would be the expensive part ANYWAY...

We should all just have a retreat sometime in the midwest somewhere maybe... I'd love to meet you, Sarah W., and Rose...I'm sure there's some other people who'd be good additions. And renting houses is so cheap! I'm doing a retreat in a few weeks with some other people and it's like $225 a person for a week. I'm taking the train and planning to cook most of the meals as a group effort so the whole thing should be really reasonable. I mean, goodness knows when we could plan this when some people have kids and some people don't have much money and etc...I've pretty much spent MY travel budget for the year...but...I can dream!
