Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

You know I did not realize it was a weekend ....hmmm

if I didnt take my husband and split the room with someone it may be easier to swing...hmmmm

thinking

I already called dibs on sharing a room with BG. But ZZ is thinking of going, maybe D, maybe C????

Come on girls. Whatcha thinking. I can't be the only one who plans her life 6 months in advance.

Who am I kidding I have a strategic 5 year plan with Gantt charts and everything. I've got lists for my next master plan which starts in 2010.

Anyway, I think it would be an amazing weekend if we all could be in DFW at the same time. Brandon and Stef will be there too, right?

Well, I am thinking about it....I just read the info...I am NOT a flyer...so it would be a drive...BUT, for a good cause...

HEY!!!!!! Did you go to Vegas as planned J??? I forgot all about that!!

I went to vegas and met ONE local bandster. But me and my partner had a great time.

It was awesome.

Why don't you fly? You'll fit in the seats no problem, ya know.

Come on!!!!!!!!!

Even if the conference is a bust it will be a riot with the lot of us being in the same place at the same time.

I'm game to share a room with anyone. 50/50 split would be wayyyy better for me financially!!

I am not into airplanes. I like my feet on solid ground.

SO, at Vegas, was it just one other person? Were there others there you just didn't know??

there was me and one other person. period.

A bust if it weren't for my sweetie going too. But I knew no one was going before I left home and really didn't care.

I had a blast.

ZZ: If I go, I'll share with you! I am not as committed at this point as you are though! LOL I think it sounds like fun, and J is right, with all of us there it should be even better!

We should all get matching tshirts for the conference. :thumbup:

and they HAVE TO HAVE OUR BIKING NAME SPELLED WRONG....

I MENTIONED IT TO MY DH.....BUT I WANT AN WOULD NEED TO GO ALONE, AS IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH OTHERWISE.

D....WHAT ABOUT YOU????

I am always down for a t shirt

I'll wear a Tshirt but considering the mess I made last year with the shirts for our first meeting I'm not down for creating them this year.

Just sayin'.

Has anyone tried to call the hotel for reservations? When I did on Monday they hadn't gotten the group in the system.

I told DH and he asked if I wanted to go.....so that is a good thing. I will be right in the middle of school and externships at that time so I don't know how that would work out.

BUT, I would really like to go....

If everyone was to go, I would HAVE to go....

Hmmmm, I need to google the mileage....

D if I can go you can go. I'm in school too. It's only a weekend.

And if you don't go with everyone else going you'll be the biggest tool ever.
