lol! I don't think I could carry a waterbed, a suitcase, a crib, and the baby.

I'd have to leave the baby. [Wink]

Okay, I'm sorry, I suck = I'm still not sure what I'm doing. I need to check airline times - I'll be coming from Las Vegas instead of Dallas. So, um, I'm still a maybe on Thursday night - must talk to work about some things happening Thursday.

Just give me your arrival times when you have them. [Smile]

Ben? What did we give you guys? Some old dishes, a laundry bag, that computer desk we were going to put in storage... Giving you stuff really saved us some space. [Big Grin]

that may be, but it was still COOOL stuff. we like to compare visiting you to getting a visit from the Easter Bunny when its time to leave. and we love you for it. i guess for other reasons as well, but thats one of them dammit!

I can attest that Olivia's house is remarkably civilized. The palantirs and spare virgins are kept strictly away from the children.

Now that I think of it, kQ has a baby, which opens certain possibilities in giving-away-stuff area.

Hmmmm...

Think you could use a package of unused swim diapers? Plus, somehow when my youngest was four, I ended up on a marketing list of 'new moms' so I keep getting sample diapers and such in the mail. Also have some shoes and such that might work for girls and lots of gently used socks and such for wee feet.

I won't load you down, but I may have some stuff for you to look at before I donate it. [Smile]

Actually, we would love that. She's oddly shaped for a wee one, so the only diapers that fit right now (that we've found, anyway) are Luvs, usually one size bigger than what she should really be in. (We can't even use cloth diapers! [Eek!] ) She loves to swim, so we can always use swim diapers. And socks are wonderful. [Smile] Hand-me-downs are our favorite. So, I'd love to look at things before you get rid of them, as long as it's not a waterbed or a trampoline or something. [Wink]

She's currently in 12 mo. clothes, moving into 18 mo. clothes, and I don't mind dressing her in boy clothes one bit. [Smile]

BTW, does anyone want a free LeapPad and a Dr. Seuss (I forget which one) cartridge and a Where the Wild Things Are cartridge? My sister got them for Emma for Christmas, and I've been going back and forth; I don't like them, but it was a gift from my sister. I've decided I don't want her to have them, but I'd rather pass them on to a friend who wants them. They're brand new, unopened.

Okay, Ben. I'll bring them along and we'll consider whatever I take home that I didn't come with good with the universe in exchange for what I've gotten rid of. [Smile] (I'm a bit of a pack rat and have to make myself get rid of things for what I take in.)

I don't think so. They are familiar with the Water Buffalo Song, and The pirates who don't do anything. [Big Grin]

Um, Sippy cups? You need any sippy cups? Replacement valves are available at most grocery stores...

ACK!

Back to business! I have five days before I have to release the block of rooms, so maker those reservations, people!

Copy of rommie info from page 1:

quote:

Vana and Dan and Ophelia and Ben - One room

Ela, JaneX and one or two open slots- One room *open space, I assume female preferred?*

Frisco... obviously selling his body to cover cost of "private" room - appointment suggested

So, we have kq and infant, me Jenny G and Lady Jane who have not sorted ourselves out yet. My sister an neice may come, but may not stay at hotel. If they do, they'll probably want their own room (my sister turns into Queen Bitch of the Universe when she's tired, and wants to spare innocent bystanders).

Jamie and Nathan- ? maybe coming, don't know if they want t o share a room.

TMedina- you staying at the hotel or not?

Am I forgetting anybody?

Also, I may not be able to stay at the hotel, or I may have my kids with me. My beloved may be out of town for training that weekend. Not certain yet, and it was unexpected when I planned this, but no way will their grandmother take them overnight. So, I may be on Hobbit watching duty. Still should be around for some of the fun, just wanted to remind people to keep it fairly family friendly. [Smile]

I am not reserving a room. I am sure I can be sorted somewhere, probably with Frisco or KQ if she gets a separate room. I still need to figure out if I will be in Vegas or Atlanta on Thursday night, and I'll do that this afternoon, along with getting the ticket to Atlanta. It's kind of a pain because I need to discuss things with the travel department. If I stay in Vegas, work will pay for my hotel room that night, but that depends on how tickets and what's cheaper for them and for me and oh, just everything. Sorry for not being more definite here. I'll talk to people today.

But yes, anyway, I don't need my own room.

Um, what do we have to do to reserve a room? 'Cause we don't really have any funds at the second, but in a few days we should.

reserving a room is calling up and a) laying down a credit card, or b) telling them you will checkin by 6pm.

no charges occur until checkout usually.

Yes!!! She loves sippy cups, and we never seem to have enough, we end up washing them about every day.

Oh, then they'll love (and you'll "love" [Roll Eyes] ) the Beaver Song. It has motions and everything. [Evil]

Question: Is there going to be a "GUYS Room" this year?

My sister has this friend who does costuming and also works as a dealer for some costume-realated stuff(as well as swords, etc.) who wants to come to this thing. He's really nice and very funny (How could a guy who has made entire sets of chain mail out of wire coat hangers NOT be funny?) but he would like a a guy or two to share a room with. Any possible takers? Frisco, are you really all about the WenchLove, or would you mind roomsharing with a stranger?

I know there will be plenty of room for the stray femmes without reservations, but I wasn't sure about the guys.

And how do you guys feel about having a dealer table? I'm sure it'll be RenFaire/costuming stuff that will be very neat.

Does anyone want to room with JaneX and me?

We need a roommate. (Or maybe two.) [Smile]

We're nice and we don't bite. [Wink]

...Or snore, either, for that matter. [Razz]

We already have a room reserved. [Smile]

I suppose I could room with a guy and hold my appointments elsewhere, Livvy. A male roommate would be okay with me. Think he could reserve it? I'm a cash-only kind of guy, but as ElJay can attest, I'm good for it, if nothing else. If not, I'm sure I could find some way.

I meant share a room with anyone else. *thwap* Being newlyweds and all. Does that mean Nathan is definitely coming with you? Last you told me it wasn't certain.

Frisco, It'll be tonight before I can ask him, since I don't have his contact info and my sister will be in prison until then. [Wink] But she'll be able to tell me whether he can reserve the room. You may be the first to get there, so could you email me your real name? That way, you can check in under the reservation even if he isn't there yet.

So, um, we're doing a boys' room and someone will sort herself out to stay with me and Ems, right?

And the boys will be able to take care of their own room?
