Attention Everyone Who Reads This Thread!~~

The Shrinkin' Violets are planning a meet and we cordially invite you to attend!

When: Fri., May 16 - Mon., May 19

Where: Deep Creek Lake, in Western Maryland

Who: Anyone who'd like to come!!

What: Talking, drinking, spa treatments, talking, photo ops, not much sleeping, bonding, drinking, talking, fun, surprises... and more!

RSVP: ASAP to mdrai

For those who will be flying in to the Washington, DC, area... you have 3 choices for airports: BWI (outside Baltimore), Dulles (in Virginia), and Reagan National (in DC). I've listed these in order from best to worst... so try to get into BWI! You'll want your flight to ARRIVE on FRI, MAY 16, in the MORNING (by 11am - Noon)! You'll want your flight to DEPART on MON., MAY 19, in the EVENING (after 6pm). Why? Because it's about 1 hour from the airport to my house (our staging area)... then approx. 3 hours to the Lake. Please try to coordinate flights, so efficient pick-up, drop off can be organized!

If anyone wants to fly in on Thurs., May 15 or out Tues., May 20, I'll be happy to pick you up @ the airport AND you may stay here at my home.

Questions? PM me or post them here.

Again -- EVERYONE IS INVITED! The more the merrier!

For this second round of "rsvp'ing", so far I have (in no particular order & sorry if I've missed someone!!)...

1. me

2. Jennifur

3. Terridoodle

4. Judy

5. Kat

6. Pam

7. TracyK

8. Laura

Terri... I'll spend the day w/you at the spa!! I think I'll get one of each treat that they offer... definitely mani/pedi & massage... it'll be my (crossing-my-fingers) 100 lbs lost treat to myself!!

I am told I snore...I don't know! lol

Oh, I know I snore....I wake myself up all the time!!! :smile:

LOL...unfortunately, there is enough of me to go around! I hope I don't dissappoint...I am the girliest, femme femme, fu fu lesbian ever! I'll try to butch it up for pix for Judy's friends!

I am all about Graceland, but I can do the $27 tour (I think I saw 3 options). I, like Terry, am a Beatles girl. I wanna go to Graceland to 1) say I've been there 2) take a few pix and 3) sing along to all the songs w/ Kat (I'll start practicing now). But at the same time, I don't need to see the graves, etc. Hell...do you all know, that I've had sex in Elvis' swimming pool at his Honeymoon Hideout in Palm Springs (aaahhhh youth). So I am kinda "over" the Elvis mania...just wanna pop over to have the experience!

Anyone wanna go to NY...give Jenn some Valuim and drag her booty on the plane?

Well Terry----if the yellow submarine were there, I would be right with you!!! But to be that close and not go---------nah--better take it in while I can!! BUT-------------I want in on the pampering too!!!

And TracyK---if you promise not to blow smoke in my face(!!!!can't you just see you cornering me and shotgunning me with smoke!!!) I could cope! Rick says I have pretty much quit snoring.....unless....I have a few to drink, so ya might as well count me as a snorer! However I sleep with a snorer everynight, so that is not likely to bother me a bit!!!

So I called my cousin this morning, he is an hour ahead of us, and told him what my Mom said. He is her favorite on my Dad's side. He is my age, has been with his partner for over 20 years. He obvioulsy has better judgement than I did!!! So, I told him he was now a lesbian in Moms eyes, he laughed, and is going to call her later to give her a hard time!!! She is going to flip! She and my Dads sister went for awhile not speaking because my Aunt said something crappy about him. I was so proud of my Mom, she is usually non confrontational to the max--so her standing up was shocking!

I have to go to the store and pick up a couple things, we are having our son and his little family over for the game, and I am cooking of course---nothing major, and something my grandson can hopefully eat without a huge mess!!! Think I will cook some of those little smoked sausages for him, good hand food!

Albq. is only 185 miles away---and the differences are shocking! When we got there, there was no snow, not even on the Sandia mountains! Here it is still dang near a foot deep on the ground after melting for days....

OK gotta go ask Laura some ??? on the other thread about her contest!

Kat

Kat-forget about it then! If I can't blow smoke straight in your face all hors of the day & night then what fun would it be? LOL If you are sure it won't bother you i would love to be your roomie! I just really do not want it to bother you! Please let me know, I can take the truth :smile:

Pamela-"butch it up"...ROFLMAO!!

Yeah I spit out my coffee when I read the 'butch it up' comment. Judy needs some good show & tell pics. Hehehe.

I don't like Elvis (I am a huge Beatles fan too :smile: ) but I do want to see the museum for the experience. I'm not payin for the fancy schmancy tour tho lol.

I am fine with you at any time TracyK--or anyone else! I don't expect to be spending tons of time holed up in a little motel room--unless we are sleeping, and even when I smoked my heaviest, I never perfected the sleep smoking thing!! And any time at all in the casinos, and it will be smoky---so I am fine! And if you or anyone else needs some alone, down time....I can always go see how the orgy is going....down in the preachers wife's room!!!! LMAO!!!!

I do suggest whoever rooms with Laura first check out the ceiling, for any new hook placements!!!! Sorry Laura--I HAD to say it!

I agree the cheaper Elvis tour is great----I am not a die hard---but would still like the overall---I have never been! I love seeing new things--so this is going to be great!!! I plan on doing, and seeing, and enjoying every minute!!! I'll do the spa, mani/pedi if someone else is going, but I am not going to spend all that time by myself, when my plan is to go meet y'all!!!

Getting a bit excited here!!

And Pamela---I can get Jen by the ankles, you grab her arms, and we will drag her!!!!!!!!!

Jen--we HAVE to figure something out! Drugs! Something--you HAVE to be there!

Kat

Good afternoon, Violets. Ok, we're JUST about ready to leave for florida. The Bobster had an emergency counseling session after church so we are getting a late start, but we'll make it.

I too don't want the $68 tour of Graceland, but either of the other two prices would be fine.

Do we have everyone rooming with someone now?? We really have to get our heads together and see if there is any way we can get Jen to this shindig. Train was suggested, but it's a 2 day trip.:smile: Anyone else have any ideas????????

I'll check in here when I can. Everyone have a great week.

Elvis has left the building!!

A train is a 2 day trip? OMG, I would have thought it was faster than that! I guess I watch too many movies.

I am gonna do the spa thing too. I have never had a massage (proffesionally anyway) or a pedi and it has been 18 years or so since I had a facial....I am TOO excited!

Haydee doesn't have a roommate! She must be busy...hasn't checked in for a few.

Maziemommy wants to come too! Where are you Mazie?

Michelle? Are you rooming with someone?

Hi girls! Ya'll have been busy on here. When I got out of church this afternoon I logged on and was able to read but as soon as I went to post the site went down. I just got back from a movie and wanted to check in with ya'll. I think Michelle is my roomate so I'm all set. I was looking at the flights to Memphis and they're really really high. It might be cheaper to fly to St. Louis and catch a ride with Jane. Jane, you have room still? Let me know...

Yeah... me & Haydee (sorry Jane, it was in the works by the time I read your post... but I think Mazie's Mom's still free!!)... is that everyone?? Maybe we should post the entire list again?? I've lost track -- ah the freedom of not being the organizer!!

I sure wish one of you violets could go bathing suit shopping with me for this trip. I suck at buying bathing suits. Never really had to do it before, so I am lost when it comes to that.

I wish we could go together TracyK----I need one so bad, but keep waiting---my shape is nothing I want seen in a bathing suit at this point!!! I am all hanging belly----------yeeeeeeuuuuucccckkkkk!!!

I took my old suit with us when Rick and I went somewhere, probably Albq to his Dr. and we hit the hot tub, late, just the 2 of us, to unwind....it was fine when it was dry--------just a bit big. But when it got wet! OMG---I was so glad it was just the 2 of us!!! The weight of the wet fabric made it hang--the crotch of the suit was almost to my knees!!! I wrapped a towel around me and flapped my way back to the room!!!

So yeah I need one too!

As for some of the rooms-------if they are bigger, as in suites, we can do more than 2 to a room maybe?

However it works out is good by me.

Going to go read the other thread, see what is up today...
