Just thought I would give this a bump for those people who may have missed this before. Only two more days… ---

I’m there. I have a sitter, and I have a ride. I’d drive myself, but I’ve had a couple of seizures in the last month and just don’t feel comfortable driving that far by myself. So… **mrblue92** is driving me. What a peach. I am entirely too lucky to know people like this! 😃 ---

I am entirely too lucky to know people like this! 😃 \*\* He is a sweetheart, the big lug. If you didn’t live so far out of the way from me, I would have offered to drive you myself. From what I’ve heard, epileptics aren’t legally allowed to drive for three to five years after a seizure. I can’t imagine going that long without being able to drive myself around. ---

Tomorrow’s the big day… What exactly do you have planned, Cranky? Shall I bring _Witch Trial_ and _Kill Doctor Lucky_? ---

Yes, I’m still going. But my dish-to-pass didn’t happen. _sob_ Is there anything else I can do? Besides hang my head in abject humiliation? ☹ ---

I’m bringing either macaroni salad or potato salad. I just got back from the store where I bought the cutest little outfit. See you all at 6 p.m.! ---

Pie. I’m bringing pie. Everyone loves pie. **Shadowfox** has me all nervous that she’s gone shopping for this. I’m wearing a nice shirt and some khakis at the moment. Dare I run home and get changed into something nicer? Shall I rent a tux in the next 4 hours? Throw on my kilt just to impress **Brynda**? Or maybe hop into my sweatpants…😃 ---

Actually, I bought the outfit with the intention of wearing it to the ChiDope in two weeks, but I’m probably going to wear it tonight as well. I also bought another pair of black shoes, because a girl can never have enough black shoes. ---

Um, I’m wearing jeans. And a nice shirt, that’s not cleavagey. This IS a MichiganFest, after all. We’re known for our good behavior. You can stop pointing and laughing at me any time now, folks. 😃 ---
