<p>Yes, casual, but we will talk about you when you go to the ladies’ room!</p>
<p>Just don’t nominate me for anything while I’m gone!</p>
<p>I am looking forward to this!</p>
<p>VH or mathmom-
I may pm you with my local phone # there to remind me to show up!! I am afraid I may forget with all I have to do!</p>
<p>jym626, I have a phone number for you, maybe cell phone?</p>
<p>Hi mathmom!
I will pm you. VH has the local ph # and plans to call to remind me at noonish. A double reminder would be great! BTW, do you have a good, reliable, affordable electrician in the area to recommend?</p>
<p>Hi all,
Have been college hunting with my boys and missed the “bump” on this thread. Happy to see it-I am hoping to make it. I forgot about an all day team sports tournament one of my kids is involved in, a varsity sport-league championship. I will feel very guilty about sneaking away from it, but that won’t necessarily stop me. :D</p>
<p>^^ momof3-
You pulled it off last time, and this time we are closer to home!! Besides, your hubby can fill you in on what you miss at the tournament…
We wont tell if you slip out briefly ;)</p>
<p>Hey everyone – sorry to say I’m going to have to bail on the meet-up. A little too much going on this weekend. Plus, even though I used to live in Fairfield County, I was still a little taken aback by the distance – 100 miles each way. (Not that meeting you all wouldn’t be worth the drive, but …) So, I have a photo from my local meet-up with thumper1, if anyone wants me to send it by email???</p>
<p>Awwwww – we’ll miss you, CBBBlinker.</p>

<p>thanks for the referral, mathmom. I’ll pass it on. Anyone have a good all-around handyman in the area who can do a variety of repairs and is affordable?</p>
<p>If you get a handyman referral, jym, please pass it on to me! I don’t have an electrician, but I do have a great plumber if you need one.</p>
<p>Looking forward to Sunday. I’ve just returned from a very intense 3-day working trip exhausted and sick, and fighting an eye infection that I’ve had for about 2 weeks. I’m hoping to be a lot better by Sunday.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to it too, even though I usually find large groups of people I’ve never met before very intimidating! I hope I don’t show up in my blue jeans and discover that everyone looks like one of the Real Housewives of New York City. Or, worse yet, Orange County. In which case, I’d better make an appointment to have some extensive cosmetic surgery before Sunday!</p>
<p>I promise to be wearing blue jeans or cords and my purple Merrels. :)</p>
<p>I wish I had a good handyman, we had a guy who was pretty good when we first bought our house, but he vanished. One of my clients used someone to repair their deck with “handyman” in their business name and it took months to clean up the disaster they created!</p>
<p>As do I! Come to think of it, there’s not much chance of EVER seeing me in anything but blue jeans! See everyone Sunday.</p>
<p>Trust me… I am not packing any fancy clothes for this trip. Jeans, sweaters, or stretchy non-wrinkly stuff is the order of the day. Last time we all wore black sweaters to identify ourselves. Doubt we’ll need to do that this time as the sandwich shop is small.</p>
<p>My fashion level is somewhat below jeans. I will wear my version of full makeup in honor of this gathering. It consists of a little eyeliner and mascara, and clear lip gloss. </p>
<p>You will not be intimidated by me.</p>
<p>I, on the other hand, will be in full evening makeup. I plan to wear my Yves St Laurent version of “casual” – silk pants and a long silk tunic. Since it’s winter here in the NorthEast, I’ll also wear my full-length mink coat. Oh – and boots. Gucci boots.</p>
<p>And the new Prada purse that DH just gave me for my birthday.</p>
<p>Yeah, right.</p>
<p>I saw a bumper sticker today that said, “My money and my kid go to Cornell.”</p>
<p>^ ^ I’m hoping I can afford a sandwich!</p>
