We're less than two weeks from the big get-together on the 17th, so we should probably start firming up some plans.

Should we plan on starting around 3 or 4, so we have time to chitchat before dinner? I can pick up some protein-type stuff from Costco; does someone else wanna volunteer to bring veggies and/or salad? (And anything else? I always have tons of bottled water around, but not much else to drink. And plenty of DaVinci flavors.) ... We also COULD go out, if you guys would prefer. Just about every chain restaurant in the world is close by.

And who's coming for sure? We should probably exchange PMs and phone numbers to nail stuff down.

I also thought anyone who has some Medifast products to swap could bring 'em and we could have a little trading party.

I am still not sure if we are going to be able to get down there. I sure do hope so. I need some real up close and in person support right now. I am getting really BORED!! And the swap is a good idea. What about a white elephant exchange?? Kind of like a "Chinese Christmas" (I know that is not a nice way to say it, but that is all I have ever heard it called). You put all of the packages in one place. Everyone draws a number. The person with number one gets to go get whatever they want. The person with number 2 gets to get whatever they want. They can even steal from person number one. Etc..... After a package has changed hands 3 times, it is retired. This is so fun to do. It would be fun with medi grub, lotions, medi gift certificates, pedometers, tape measures, etc.

I'd like to come visit. I haven't been to Dallas yet, so I might make it a weekend trip. Anyone have any recommendations about sightseeing in Dallas?

[DogMa]

Yeah, spend most of your time in Fort Worth instead.

Seriously, there's stuff to do in both places. Zoos, museums, botanic gardens, good shopping. And if you want something REALLY cool, I highly recommend Fossil Rim animal sanctuary, where you can drive through and feed the animals. It's a bit of a drive, though (but maybe in the direction you're coming from?).

The FW Zoo is supposed to be ranked fifth in the country, and the botanic gardens are very popular. In Dallas, I really liked the Sixth Floor Museum (about the Kennedy assassination); it was more interesting and more fun than I expected.

There's also the Rangers and Cats if you like baseball, plus a baseball museum in Arlington. And a brand-new planetarium that's supposed to be very nice, also in Arlington. And a Six Flags.

And Supermom, it'd be great if you could make it. I know it's kind of a long way, though.

But anyone who needs to is welcome to crash at my place. I have a guest room with two beds, plus an aerobed and a couple of couches.

I can't come! I am unveiling a bronze sculpture in Gonzales that day and I just can't miss it. If everybody has enough fun maybe we can do it again? Have fun everyone. I will be thinking about you.

[DogMa]

Well, geez, you guys, if no one else is coming, it sounds like this might be canceled!! Is ANYone for sure coming?

[just_julie]

I was TOTALLY in before, but I wasn't up to date on my church activities. I have something until about 3 at church, and now someone is trying to throw my friends baby shower on that date. ARGGG! If this doesn't work out, might we try meeting at a restaurant on a weeknight? It seems to work for the Zonies...

[DogMa]

Sure. Although I work nights, so I'm really only free on Wednesdays.
