Copy your numbers into your phones!

I have never gotten that barcode to scan right.

Just skip trying and type the number in. Easy peasy.
(Then move down the line to the next station of extra help that is unneeded and clarify that you are who you are and not one of the other 3 people that also just logged in amd moved down.

And don't forget to check your tickets and generics. And to get your coupon book because they will forget to give you one.

(I got good at this because I run Paranoia)

My problem is, I got two of those emails, both with different numbers. Hmmm...

I probably don't need to tell you this but go through your bank statements and make sure you weren't charged twice

Read that as though the first two sentences were serious. Started to worry, but then realized you'd just used an ellipsis, you never use ellipses...

I only use them for special situations... Like when I am serious.

And it was worth it because I know there was a 4 second moment when your stomach flipped.

Of course you did. That is why being in charge is a bad thing.

Well I will be there tomorrow afternoon. AND I'll have plenty of games to come along with me.

Speaking of, got a new game around the Edwards Household, Kittens in a Blender. Anyone interested enough I should bring it?

I plan on checking in with you at least once on your ride there, I would more but I have to work late shift, and I do hope you call me when you get there safely so that I know you did.

Just after 4am here, and after I get a little food in me I'll be on my way. Laura, I'll give you a call when I get to the Promised Land (heh heh heh). Charlie, 10:30 it is! Ken, give me a call when you get in town (and I promise to laugh/cry/berate/or plead with Shane when I pass him). Kittens in a Blender is packed and I am looking forward to seeing everyone!

Oh yea and...

1 More Day!

Already called Mark this morning. He had just finished listening to Biggest Ball of Twine. Realized when I wrote my note last night I was thinking it was Tuesday, when it's only Tuesday now, and I have early shift. I need a vacation, lol.

Have fun Mark, and keep safe!

Yeah Deb, I'm not going to be there. Couldn't get a hotel room, as they were sold out, and didn't want to get one farther away, as I'm getting too old to carry too much stuff around long distances on my bad ankles.
