I’m starting my maternity leave tomorrow.
So, what’s the deal?
Robin
I’m not sure if I can be back by July 6th. I’m going home for a big birthday party for my grandfather on the 5th. My brother’ll be in town and I don’t get to see him too often, so I’ll have to see when he’s planning to leave.
Arghhh!!! Time is running out. Fionn, I’d love to see you again, and I hope you can make it. At this point I think we must commit to a time and place and July 6th, Buffet Palace, 2:00 PM sounds like a plan.
Last minute modifications? Address?
I dunno if people are waiting for me, specifically or not. That said,
we’ll do this on July 6th, the Buffett Palace on 183/Research Blvd. How about 3 PM?
So mote it be! 
re: the sushi recommendation-
Joke! Joke! I knew Fionn wasn’t that big a fan of fish (to put it lightly), and that she’s looking for a job, so…
[SUB]Dammit, I HATE having to explain my jokes… grumble, mutter[/SUB]
As much as I like Buffet Palace (actually had lunch there yesterday), I’m likely going to be unable to make this BatDope. What the hell happened to my weekends, anyway?
3:00 PM. Check. I’ve gotta go now. Mapquest anyone?
Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make this one, though I would really like to see you guys again. 
A bump - I’ll dig up a map in a bit.
And if you’re around Austin and we haven’t met you yet, feel welcome to join us.
Okay. I can most likely make it, and I’m bringing a mystery guest.
Robin
Great!
Yay! I’m looking forward to coming. Provided it stops raining or someone lends me a boat that is. :eek: 
At any rate, I plan on being there. Can’t wait to see you all again. I hope we get a few new faces to come as well. And a mystery guest is coming with the fair and lovely MsRobyn. Sounds good to me.
I’m glad you survived the drenching, purrplebear.
Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, it’s not over yet though. That massive storm system is still sitting on top of us for another day or so. Last I heard, we’ve had over 13" here on my side of town since Sunday. Maybe even up to 14" by tonight, since that was as of this morning. Thankfully I live up on a bit of a hill, so my house is in no danger, unless my roof gives out. But getting in and out of this neighborhood is quite another story. shrugs It is what it is.
Fortunately, I’m okay, too. I haven’t had many problems, but I don’t go far, either. (The doctor’s office/hospital is as far as I go these days.)
Robin
Glad to hear that, as well, Robin. See ya’ soon!

Be there or be square!
You guys just happen to pick the only date in living memory when I’m able to attend. I’ll be there ('cause I’m not square). Hope no one minds me in skin tight lycra.
bumpity bump, bumpity bump, bumpity bump
Just to keep this active in the minds of people. I’ll see about making a reservation, under the name Addams Family.
Hittin’ the road for Austin, right now!
See y’all tomorrow
