I've made no secret about how much I enjoy meeting up with fellow bloggers. Hell, just getting the opportunity to talk with them on the phone is great, but I'm greedy, I want more, I want it all. I wanna hang out with them!!!!
So.........I send out an email to "The Family" making an interesting offer. It all boiled down to....."Come Visit Me". I've got room. The houses on either side of me are open, and if rented by a group of people, much cheaper than hotel rooms.
Guess what! The dream, the thought, has become a possibility!!! A slight possibility, but a possibility all the same.
You cannot possibliy know the excitment that stirs. Yes, even just the possibility puts a smile on my face. I find myself day dreaming. Ohhh.....I'll take a long weekend from work. No Phone Calls. Period. Ohhh.....I could make a huge batch of my really good pulled pork for sandwiches, bake a couple dozen pies, use my beautiful new blender!! Ohhh.......with the houses so close together there would be 2 heated pools and a spa! Just a huge party..........
Now, if we pull this off, I'll be amazed. Positively amazed. But how cool would that be? Laughter, music, a bit of drinking and lots of yummy food. And the conversations.....oh, the conversations.......it's almost more than I can take!
The only catch is that it has to occur between the 13th of Jan and the 13th of Feb. But there are a couple of "bank" holidays that would work for that. Once we figure out a date and find out who can come I'll get busy. I love nothing better than organizing an "event".
So......what is this ramble all about? Let me cut to the chase. If we can get enough people interested, and select a date, I'll take care of setting everything up here (with mucho polls for input). I'll do the work, ya'll just get your asses down here!!
Whata ya think????????

And I assume Harvey will be brining the REAL slip-n-slide with a case of Whipped Cream.
Posted by: Ogre at December 28, 2004 09:50 AMI'm just waiting for the date to be announced...
Posted by: Teresa at December 28, 2004 10:12 AMwhere is "up here"? and i know i'm not in "the family" but ya know, i've been linked once or twice by Harvey, so i try to infringe on Bad Example stuff when i can.

Posted by: sarahk at December 28, 2004 09:20 PMI am actually considering doing this. I always keep 3 days of vacation for "emergencies" and you know, this could be an emergency.
Depends on the dates, mid-terms are mid to late Feb.
Hubby just said he didn't care if I go.
So get those dates before I chicken out.
Spirit flies into Orlando and Tampa and they are always cheap.
