I'm sorry, Nny. :( We would gladly have you and Skeevy to dinner.

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :D

But risotto has rice, Ji.

I have learned to live with rice. *solemnly*

Waaaaaaaant toooooooooo.

You could always come visit!

*points to comfy couches*

[link] [parent] [reply]

I could...

*considers*

[link] [parent] [reply]

We would put you up for free. You could just stuff some dollar bills down my Williams Sonoma apron and we'd send those to Food and Friends.

Oh I think I can swing that.
Looking at airfare at the moment....

Aiee with the beamyface.
You guys are sure I wouldn't be intruding?

[link] [parent] [reply]

I do so love carrot soup.

I will give attendance some thought.

If I cannot attend, may I donate?

Sure! You can paypal to my wife or just mail them a check directly, as you prefer. Let me know if you need their mailing address, but we hope to see you there.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I wish I coooould. Stupid distance.

*packs you in karen's suitcase*

[link] [parent] [reply]

Wheeeeee!!

[link] [parent] [reply]

If I were healthy enough to visit . . .

If I mail you $20, will you mail me some food? You can leave out the soup.

But we wanted a miniature dinner guest!

[link] [parent] [reply]

I live too far away to attend, but can I donate via Paypal or something? It's too great a cause to resist!

Hey, I'll be there then. I can do this. At least as far as I know. So I'm saying yes. Unless I end up having a class that night.

Count me in!

Since there is a very good chance that I will have moved into to my new (if temporary) place in Fairfax by then, I may well be able to attend. ^_^

:-o I did not know a Gramarye was coming to Fairfax! Mir says that, even if you can't make it, we should kidnap you some day, and I concur. *nods*

[link] [parent] [reply]

*grins* It's a very new thing -- a friend and I are taking over a sublet so he can go to grad school at GMU and I can get a job and apply for library school at College Park. I'm looking to move to Maryland by November, but from early September to early November I should be in Fairfax.

So yes. Kidnapping may not be required at this point in time. *dances*

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yay!

(and, heh. somebody on my f-list --

bookwench31 *points up* -- is going to UMD College Park for LIbrary studies starting this fall!)

We're in Arlington, and I work in Reston, so I'm all over. Also, we have a car now = double plus bonus.

*salivates*

I would love to be there, however. *looks at middle of country, sighs AGAIN*

I really should just develop a jet-setting lifestyle where I split my time between Seattle and D.C., since you guys and Heater and Ji and my brother and sister and all are there. I'll work on that.

In the meantime I will pout and go heat up food for now I am hungry.

If only somebody would finish that transporting machine, all would be well.
