ATTENTION all TEXAS gals!!!

Hi guys --
Sorry I haven't been online for a few days (jury duty and then the weekend) so I missed most of this thread. I'm in Dallas and would love to get together with you all but I'm not sure about the timing and/or the place. I have something going on every weekend until the end of February, so driving somewhere and making it an over-nighter is probably not going to happen for me.
Maybe it would be easier to have multiple get-togethers instead of having everyone in Texas meet (umm...Texas is pretty BIG
) Just a suggestion -- take it or leave it, right?!
Diane Sue, if we have something in Dallas -- you are more than welcome to come!

Dallas is good for me too. So is April. I also got an e-mail from Lynn in Conroe (north of Houston) who needs a month advance for to schedule her work around the get-together.
Shirlee, JaneyB in San Antonio if you would like to Carpool from Austin, just let me know. I can seat 3 extra people so Kelly in Waco, we could swing by and pick you up too. I could maybe fit 1 more "small" person in the back seat (a tad cramped), if someone else down here wants to go along.

April 9th is my baby's 4th birthday so that is the only weekend in April that would not work for me.
Would this be an entire weekend thing? Just a sleepover (slumber party)? Just wondering. Whatever is planned sounds absolutely fabulous. I REALLY NEED time away.

Ok, it seems there is the major decision to be made of what "type" of gathering.
Some choice :
"Slumber Party" at someones home (Dinner/breakfast/or lunch OUT);
but depending on the number of people this might not be fair to
ask of someone. Massive undertaking!
"Slumber Party" at a Hotel (getting 1 or 2 rooms/suite for a night);
not as expensive as it sounds with the number of people who have
expressed interest, around 12 to 15.
"Dinner/night out"; everyone is on their own to spend the night in
"town" or not.
"Lunch/early dinner"; this one could end up being a "day-trip" for
some people depending on the drive/flight.
Also no matter what is decided not everyone has to stay for the whole shin-dig. If there's a slumber party and you just want to pop in for an hour or two, that is no problem! Come on in!
Those are the ideas I've thought of but I'm sure there are more. Let's brain storm! (Does that count as exercise?)

Dinner, then a slumber party at a hotel so everyone is safe & no one ends up with a big mess to clean, sounds really good. If we were even better than that, we could even try to set up a Cathe workout together such as KPC or something with minimum equipment.
Guy's this sounds fun. Let's really see if we can make this happen. I'm the recognition committee chair at work & I am in charge of putting this sort of stuff together @ work.They always turn out so fun, but the biggest obstacle is always, people's schedules.

Yea! Someone who knows what they are doing!
I agree with the hotel idea. I was thinking the same thing when I was typing about just the dinner, that we'd have to have an early "last call" in time for everyone to get home safely. With a hotel the waiter can just keep 'em coming!
So Marla, when is good for you?

Hey Nadine, like I said I'm off weekends so anytime is good for me. If we could just decide on what location, then we could really get the wheels turning. Maybe if those who are interested just let us know what dates are totally impossible for them we could go from there.

RE: What weekend in April is NOT good for you??
I can't think of any reason why April wouldn't work for me. I'm ready.
Nadine, I would love for you to swing by and pick me up. I live only a couple of minutes off I-35. I'm also short, at only 5', so I definitely ride in the back seat somewhere.

Ok, a weekend in April. i suggest everyone meeting at hotel of choice (some Dallas expert should suggest the best one for this) on a Sat afternoon. that way, no one has ot get off work on Fri and drive. so if we met at the hotel b/t 3pm or 4pm we could get settled in, start happy hour and then go to dinner and let the games begin.
So, we need to pick a hotel, and a weekend.
This is going to be so fun!!!
