GABIT attendees thread

[Celandine]

Is Mercury in retrograde or something? There's been more snags planning this trip. I just had to take my glasses in to get the lenses replaced on Friday (they were cracking around the screws). If I took them in then, they would honor the warranty, if I waited until we got back, they wouldn't. I'm hoping they get them back to me by Friday. We get on the plane Saturday morning. And I forgot how bad my old glasses were. I've just been going without. Hopefully I sounded pathetic enough.

Ooh, I hope you get your glasses back in time! I only where mine at night to rest them after a full day of wearing contacts, but definitely know the feeling of unrest when something you rely on so much decides to break at the most inopportune time.

Baby listened ... *sigh*

My bloodpressure at midwife check up yesterday was a little high, so have to go back tomorrow. Nothing to worry about though and baby still is juuuust fine.

A Sanctuary rewatch is actually a good idea. I don't own the DVD boxes (I don't think they're available over here and I'm waiting with buying them in case that they do, cause I like my subtitbles), so can't watch the extras, but still can watch the normal episodes.

Also, hubby installed the PS2 again .. I've never really played, but desperate times ... hehe.

Safe travels anyone!! Just reading all your guys preperations makes me smile already. I saw the TSE schedule ... looks great!

You've probably heard this a gazillion times already, but babies decide when the time is right, not us. Well, unless you go in for a scheduled C-section. Completely different ballgame then obviously. As long as baby doesn't grow too big in these last few days in it's snug little confines, you should be fine for the delivery. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts these next few days!


Safe travels to everyone who has left or are leaving in the next few days! See you all there and don't be shy in saying hello! I know I won't be.

Just a quick post from San Diego I'm blogging from Comic Con as much as I can each night. http://tsaxlady.blogspot.com/

Hard to believe how quick it has come up but I leave for Vancouver a week from tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing every one next week.

Couldn't see anything wrong. However, you could have gone there at the moment that Pete was loading up the revised pages to accommodate the MTM schedule, that would have taken it down for a moment.

Picked up local chocolates (one box with nuts and one box without), and more bluey goodness... next step is to try to get it all into my suitcase!

Hi,

Popping in.

Can't believe that this time next week (deities willing) I will be in Vancouver with my friends.

It has been a long time coming and this week is draging.

Safe travels to everyone and love & hugs to you all.
