You don’t have to wait for someone else to do it for you.
November 16th, 2011 | by TJ |My main takeaway from The Blathering: if you want to see all of your friends, invite them over.

Speaking of flights, how early on Friday can I show up? Flights leave LAX starting at something ridic like 6am.

Ahh, whenever. Hotel check in on base isn’t until 3 (are you bringing the baby?), but if anyone is here earlier, whatever. We’re hanging out at my house all weekend, so… whenever!

So, even if I’ve never met any of you before, can I join in the fun?

I did, with the Blathering! Why not?

Can I come, just for the sole purpose of holding babies and petting dogs? I would be like support.
Wait a minute… Penny will probably be in an “I have to crawl away” and/or “I hate strangers” phase. Scratch that.
Hope you guys have tons o’ fun! Can’t wait to hear all about it.

I find Penny hard to predict, but I AM going to be boarding the dogs. Because… I am not insane. Mostly.

So, can I tell you how absolutely geeked out I am about seeing this. I am taking a screenshot for my “portfolio” a.k.a. FB photo album.

I cannot wait. I am thisclose to making a countdown paper chain to hang from my office ceiling.

I love that you think I need an incentive to pull out scissors and construction paper. But you are so going to owe me a dollar.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Do we have leave to post the logo on our own blogs to announce how awesome and special we are that we’re going to this? (Not that everyone else couldn’t come too, but whatever, I FEEL AWESOME AND SPECIAL.)

Sure! It will probably have to be resized, though.

Is it too late for me to start blogging so I can come too? Or would that be too stalkerish?

You don’t need a blog to come!

It’s not CRASHING if you’re INVITED.

Sadly, I don’t think my doctor wants me going so far away at 36 weeks pregnant. But I’m sure I’ll be reading about it and feeling jealous!

Oh man, I just immediately started thinking about how long it takes to boil water on my stove. I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BOIL ENOUGH WATER TO DELIVER A BABY.

Getting official dr. approval to fly my happy butt (and the rest of me) out to see you tomorrow!
Wait… I’m getting the approval tomorrow, not coming to see you tomorrow–that would be awkward…

By Brooke on Nov 17, 2011
Yes!! So excited!

Ooooh… I would love to come… I wonder if I could afford it somehow.

I am going to have to take a look at the budget and see if this will work. I would love to meet everyone!

Um. So this is totally awkward because I don’t actually know you or anything but I would love to come if you’d let me. It would make my YEAR.

I am getting the feeling that I’m not the only one who READS you and LOVES you but doesn’t comment enough for you to know us the same way, but would love to meet you anyway? Would that be weird or awkward? If it helps, I have a baby!

Nope, you’re certainly not the only one! Sadly, I do not have a baby. Unless a stubborn 3 year old counts.

AHH!! So much fun for you, and way to be all proactive and crap.
I wish I knew you more than just commenting a few times on your blog, and I would seriously consider trekking out your way. My attendance would probably be stalkerish. Though my birthday is the 22nd, which would be close enough to warrant copious eating of cupcakes…

Oh, it’s just a bunch of ladies hanging out and having a pajama party. It’s not stalkerish at all to join in the fun!

I don’t have a baby or a blog, but you people all sound so awesome I’m considering it. I’ll FB message you tonight!

Am I the only one who looks at the announcement and thinks “Those pajama pants have an awesome pink mustache”? Because those PJ pants are way cooler than I will ever be.
