ROTFL. I just started a load of laundry myself. I think there are enough clothes for about three loads (I'm washing Steve's too). I have no clean blue jeans. I had planned to get up this morning and be productive. Didn't happen. Got up at 10:30 after calling in sick at 8am.
Now I have to squeeze a lot more things into this afternoon and evening, but I think it will work out. I've got to pick up Nathan/T-smith in about 2 hours, and I've just realized while I said I'd be there he may or may not know what vehicle to look for. And while I've seen his pictures I don't know if I will actually recognize him.
Then I've got to drive out to Rockford to drop my dog off since he's got a dog show this weekend. (Oh yeah and Jake needs a bath before I go, but I just hit the shower and tub with mildew spray so it isn't quite as nasty.)
And while portions of the house have been decluttered, there's still cleaning like vaccuming up the dog hair so it isn't nasty and disgusting to everyone else to get done.
Oh well. I have this feeling, like I used to get with class projects, that it will all get done, I just don't know how yet.

Make sure you walk around with a sign saying HATRACK. Or carry an actual hat rack. He should spot ya.

When I was getting picked up by people I'd never seen before I took a broomstick and some bristol board on the plane with me. Armed with a pack of crayons and some tape a wrote DAN in big letters arrows pointing down and attached it to the stick. The best part was that there were all of 3 other people on the flight so it wouldn't have been that hard to pick me up. Still, I had fun doing it.

When Olivia picked me up from the airport, we used our cell phones to hone in on each other.
And then discovered were wearing identical outfits. That was hilarious - I think we were both so nervous. I know I was. The only reason I'm not crazy nervous now is because I'm refusing to think about it.

This is so cool and scary! I've never done something like this before... going off alone to meet peeps I've never seen before. Gah! At least my family is in the area.

I seriously think I should slam a drink of something before I walk in the door. Posts: 4953 | Registered: Jan 2004

Nervous, what's that? But seriously, I'm not nervous. Well maybe a liitle, I have to be up at at 4:30am at the VERY latest in order to catch my flight, and it's going to be a really late night. So, sleep or no sleep? I don't want to be dead on Friday, I don't want to miss my flight, sounds like a few hours on the plane is my best bet.

Telp, I am actually blushing right now. Don't get your hopes up though - somehow the combination of lighting and mystical forces made me appear attractive.
I'm so glad to hear that everyone else is nervous. I've been sweating bullets all day.

Well, the Underwoods are about 1 hour away from departing on their edition of the Great Chicago Exodus. I'm quite excited and am crossing my fingers that I will have a chance to meet most everyone even tho I will only be there Saturday. See y'all there.

I've met people from here online before so I'm not too scared. I mean, if they didn't bother to kill me the first two times, why would they kill me now...although, this is a different group of people, and the fact that I haven't met internet psychos yet, likely increases the probability of meeting some this time. Btw, I have so told my housemates where I will be going, and they know to start the nationwide manhunt for my killers if I don't show up on time, so no funny business, okay?
And I've met Ralphie, so meeting anyone else will be anticlimactic. Although, meeting all these other famous Hatrack personalities will be pretty freaky.

I am NEVER packed that long in advance, but I knew I had zero time to pack today. Actually dropped the luggage off at my parents' this morning rather than shlep it all over town.

Ok, I'm leaving in a few hours. Wish me luck on the big gray dog. See you all soon!
