I’ll be there if I have to walk all the way! (I didn’t leave my New Year’s Eve party till 2:00 and had to walk eight miles home! Didn’t arrive till 4:37 a.m.) ---

I’m more than willing to risk life and limb for a party. I’ll be there. ---

**Polycarp** and **Skulldigger** will not be adventuring into freezing rain and sleet in a non-winterized, slightly overpowered car in order to make the party. ☹ Sorry, but while we’d love to be a part of the event, and have been looking forward to it, about 240 miles worth of driving-on-slick-roads does not sound like something we have any enthusiasm for doing. We’re deeply sorry to be missing out on things, and hope y’all will have a wonderful time! ---

If you leave now, and go back home on Monday, you can still make it! ---

We’re still planning to come, provided I-95 south isn’t iced over and Steve survives the night. (His cold, you pervs, his COLD!!) As I type this, there’s a lovely devil’s food bundt cake in the oven which should be done in about 5 minutes. I’d sure hate to have to eat it all alone… For the record, I shall be returning to the area on Mar 20 for the weekend, so if we have to reschedule, that’s my next available date. Not that my presence is any kind of driving force [sub]tho it should be[/sub] just thought I’d make that known. I’ll also be back for the first and third weekends in April and the 2nd weekend in May. Well, time to get the cake outta the oven… ---

We’ll be there, unless we wake up under something the likes of which I have never seen in my many years in the Arctic. _The amount of snow_, RT and JC! ---

The stalwart **Bluesclan** shall be there, unless faced by an arctic storm of **Gingeresque** proportions. ---

Geez, **Lucretia** , what are you suggesting about **Gingy** ’s proportions? :eek: 😉 We’ll be there if we can. But if it’s snowing fast enough that they can’t keep up with it, or if (what with county snow removal budgets being pretty much used up) they decide to wait to plow the side streets and neighborhoods until the snow’s mostly fallen, we may decide to stay home. ---

Aww, shoot. You know, after I posted it I thought that looked a bit dodgy. But then I thought, if I try to go back and clarify, then that will draw even more attention to it, and maybe make people read the _unintended_ implications who otherwise wouldn’t. BUT, thanks to **RT** , now everyone thinks I’m talking about **Ginger’s** butt. **SO** , to make it clear, I was _not_ suggesting that **Ginger** has large proportions! I meant merely that the _snowstorms_ that **Ginger** was used to seeing had large proportions! ---

I’m hoping that the forecast is overblown… but until we see the weather tomorrow, I can’t promise. So let’s start our anti-snow dances! I don’t wanna be snowbound… all alone… with my husband… and a chocolate cake… ummmmm… Well, we’ll see what tomorrow brings. ---

Rice Krispies Treats are made and ready. 🙂 I’m going to be very disappointed if very many of you wuss out.
