You remember before I left for my trip to Vegas I mentioned a surprise I was working on?
Well, I'm ready to spill the beans.
We're having a family reunion. Yep.....a Bad Example Family (and Friends) Reunion.
Here......at my house........I'm so flippin' excited I can hardly stand myself.
We're planning it for Friday, Feb. 11th - Sunday the 13th. Here in little ole' Orlando. There will be music, food, drink, laughter, food, drink, stories, drink, laughter, drink. Yeah - that about covers it.
So far we have Harvey and his beloved, Bou, Teresa, _Jon, SarahK & Frank J., Eric and his wife were talkin' about making the journey. And That 1 Guy might make it also! Sound Good? I think it sounds great!!!!!!!!
Oh. My. Goodness........ just imagine folks. Actually, that's kind of hard to do, since it absolutley boggles my mind.
So, I'm planning and prepin' and working. Busy, but excited. So very excited. Some of my most favorite people, all in the same place at the same time. Gonna be in the area? Interested? Let me know!!!!
Hmmmm, shopping list:

Slip-N-Slid
98 cases of Reddi-Wip

I'm a terrible Mother. I forgot to mention my two BlogDaughters will be here also!!! Machelle and LeeAnn both with their wonderful hubby's in tow. I can't wait!!!
Seriously - for just one moment....if you are planning on coming let me know ASAP so I can be sure we have enough rooms. Also...those that are coming I need to know food allergies, or preferences, drinky stuff, both alcoholic and otherwise. We're kinda out in the country a bit, and while there is a grocery store around the corner, it's still easier if I know ahead. I am a planner folks - trust me on that!
Hell, I've already started shopping!!

Wait, Red Jell-O. I didn't see that on your list...
Posted by: Bou at January 13, 2005 08:54 PMThat's because the pool is still FULL of IT!! ;-)
And you're right, I forgot about the banana splits!
Posted by: Tammi at January 13, 2005 09:04 PMDammit!
Maybe if I come back from Berlin via Miami or Atlanta, I could make it...hhhmmmm. Have a grandma in Orlando and a good friend that works for the Mouse. Hhhhhmmmm...
Posted by: Blackfive at January 13, 2005 11:08 PMHEY, YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME!!!
You need to read your comments again.
I just have to double check to see when my exams are, but so far it's looking pretty good.
Posted by: Machelle at January 14, 2005 08:05 AMIf T1G shows up, you've got nowhere near enough red meat on your list...
Posted by: Ogre at January 14, 2005 01:05 PMMoney, were gonna need bail money.
Posted by: Machelle at January 14, 2005 01:36 PMTammi, do you have any "connections?" If not, you might want to make some before the family arrives. It can reduce the amount of bail money required.
Posted by: Ogre at January 14, 2005 08:08 PMOgre I think we'll be ok. I live in the back of the subdivision - back up to a natures preserve. I'm renting the house next door and there are no long term neighbors (other than the roofers across the street - and hell, they'll probably crash the party). If we have to we can rent the house on the other side also and just take up half the block. Hmm Bad Example Subdivision...has a nice ring to it, don't cha think!
Posted by: Tammi at January 15, 2005 07:19 AMDammit, I wish I wasn't broke (and my wife would let me out to play) :)
We're still going to kidnap Harv one of these days and go pub crawling...
Posted by: Graumagus at January 15, 2005 12:44 PMi'll need water, mountain dew, coke, red bull, darvocet and vicodin.
:)
Oh, and a bib and some baby wipes.....
Posted by: _Jon at January 15, 2005 02:05 PMOMG. _Jon is as bad as you, Tammilicious, with all that caffeine. I can feel the blood vessels in my heart restricting just reading his list. Bah!
I'm still up for making a couple desserts, right?
Posted by: Bou at January 15, 2005 02:21 PM... I'm doing my best to get all my ducks in a row... however, Tennessee ducks are wily.. ;)
... anyone bringing guitars?...
Posted by: Eric at January 15, 2005 04:53 PMAny and all musical instruments welcome. I have a keyboard, just don't play so well yet. Also - all my CD's were stolen so anyone that wants to bring some music is more than welcome.....
Posted by: Tammi at January 15, 2005 08:32 PMOh Sally.....we'll be calling! Don't you worry, we'll make sure you're there one way or another!!
GEVIV: We'll miss ya dude. It would be great if the whole family was there.....
