of the traveling ladies!

Boy, am I so sorry I am this late with my post. I owe ya'll one that's for sure. I'll get straight to it (a month later)!!

Well, my family and I left out for Memphis on the Wednesday night before the weekend I was to meet up with the rest of the ladies. Nothing like hurriedly throwing your stuff in a bag and hoping for the best. DH decided we should leave that night instead of Thursday like we planned. He must have been really ready for me to meet these gals and get me off his back. I think I had been really hard on him the previous months. I guess someone needed to whip him into shape huh.

Well, Friday evening finally rolls around and I had spoken with Stepwitch (oops, I almost put your real name)a few times and after I got directions I was on my way to the cabin. I actually beat them there; I don't know how since I'm such an idiot with directions. It was great meeting everyone. Stepwitch pulled up beside me and I got to see her beautiful smiling face, then Sita and Kathleen's beautiful smiling faces. It really seemed like we had known each other forever.

It wasn't long before we were talking, just like we were picking up conversations we had had at Steptalk. Before long we had all the alcoholic beverages lined up on a table ready to drink them. The wine was all really tasty and the buttery thingys weren't too shabby either. Stepwitch cooked us all really wonderful steaks and stuff. She was the perfect hostess! I had to leave Friday night and drive back to my family in Memphis at the hotel since they wanted to go do "something" on Saturday.

I went back to the cabin on Saturday night. More conversing (a lot with Sita about OCD) and then the BM pinata burning. This BM was the fuggliest BM I've ever seen. It was great watching that thing burn. Ya'll did a really good job decorating her. I didn't get to participate in decorating - maybe next time.

Did ya'll know Stepwitch can play guitar?

Sita, Kathleen and Stepwitch are three of the sweetest ladies ever. Whoever gets to go to the next campout in October is really going to be in good hands. DH is pressing me to return in Oct. He really wants to go back too. I'm trying to figure out how to do it with our fiscal year closing coming up 9/30. Plus I have annual leave days that I have to use between now and 9/20 which means I'll be taking several days off next week to do so.

I really had fun even though I didn't get to spend as much time as everyone else. I wish I could have stayed longer. Thanks guys and love ya!
