Well ladies...it's official...you are making me crazy(er). Because I am broke, I was declining to talk about or think about the fun you'll all be having in Chicago this fall. Without me. However, I have discussed it with the hubs, and also with my mum, who knows everything, and they think it would be cool if I were to drive to the Windy City. So...now the only problem is that it's basically happening over the weekend of my big 4-0. Which could be the best way ever to spend that milestone. But I have a feeling that there are plans afoot 'round these here parts for some heavy duty celebratin'. (When did I go Wild Wild West?? I dunno!) Anyhoo...that leaves me as a definite maybe for going. If I were on a fence, I would be leaning toward the side that, if I fell off, my ass would land in Chicago.
That's my story.
A definite maybe trumps a definite no so heres hoping to your ass landing in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteYou can celebrate the big 4-oh more than once, so celebrate in Chicago with us, and either the weekend before or the weekend after at home with the fam... see you can have your Chicago and your birthday bash too :)
ReplyDeleteWhen is your b-day?? Mine is the 30th. I sold the DH on the trip by playing the bday card!
ReplyDeleteI'm the 27th! Woo hoo! Libras rock!
ReplyDeleteA maybe turns into yes so easily....
ReplyDeleteCelebrate in Chicago with us.
I'll get your package in the mail this week.
If you are passing through Michigan maybe you could connect with those of us here that are going. I sent a message to Grace who is also from Michigan about seeing if we can get a list of people and organize some trasportation. I was kinda thinking of taking the train from maybe the Ann Arbor or Lansing area so that I didn't have to park my car there. 40 bucks a day for parking takes away from my spending money :) Hope to see you there!!
ReplyDeleteWHAT? Your 40th what? You look like you are 30!
ReplyDeleteNow, with that said...
YOU JUST HAVE TO GO AND HAVE A MILESTONE BIRTHDAY! Must you always be the center of attention.
FINE! Well, it just so happens that that weekend in Chicago will be my...um... um...
65th wedding anniversary!
YEAH! Top that!
But for realz...you have to come! They can have a suprise party the weekend before or after!!
i sure hope you can go! you can extend your birthday celebration into a weeklong thing! plus if I was throwing a surprise party i wouldn't do it on the actual day! :-)
ReplyDeleteDuuuuddeeee - I refuse to put maybe - I'm putting yes for you. It's just how I roll. You have to do what I say cuz of that whole Mama Pimp thing duh. You didn't really think you could get out of this did you? Joey must meet you - she owes you supper for saving her life don't you think?
ReplyDeleteFor real the day before the convention is our 15th wedding anniversary. Not as big of a deal as the big 4-0, for sure. Maybe you can find out which day and make it to Chicago for at least 1 day?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you can make it!! I'm sending a buch of good karma your way so you will be pulled to our side of the fence. Come over to the dark side! They can give you a party the weekend before or after. :)
ReplyDeleteSeptember 20th here. Not a big birthday - 42 - but will be my first one banded.
ReplyDeleteYou should buddy up with us Mitten Gals! It'd be funnnn, I promise. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally! I need to celebrate with the hero that saved me and my precious foot (I call her "old righty")!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you should totally come to Chicago! Celebrate your skinny 40-year-old self with all your skinny(ish) bloggy friends. You can always do the party thing with the fam the next weekend.
ReplyDeleteI want to meet you. And hear all your undertaker stories. And see your cool new shoes in person. Try to come!
Wow-- now you have me thinking.. I will be turning 40 in the fall too-- perhaps I ought to go for it!! Glad you're thinking of going.

If the band has taught me one thing, it's that I can have my cake and lose weight, too. Um, I mean and HAVE it too. PLEASE come to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteBirthday Smirthday. I will be in Calgary for mine in August and not home with the hubby...
ReplyDeleteSo... Chicago, eh? I'm sure we can get our (skinny) Canadian asses there... what's an 8-9 hour drive anyway?!
