Hey you come to the North West Conference I will come bearing your Bleh mug!

Okay, my plan is up to 6 mugs and 6 tote bags. I think that's all I would be able to fit in my carry-on (I pack very lightly). So if you pre-order and pay I will pick them up. So far, it's Ariana and Maggie, and me?

Sweet! I will go pay and pm you what I ordered!  [cheesy grin]
Hmmm if you wore really baggy cargo pants imagine what else you could carry!

If I might offer a bit of advice here..... [cheesy grin]

Get yourself something along these lines. Set it on your desk, or the kitchen table, or wherever you happen to be spending your morning.  Make sure it's full of coffee first thing, and then the size of your mug (or even elegant, classy teacup!) won't matter because you can refill it as often as you'd like.  The utter elegance of a porcelain tea pot tends to distract others from the fact that it's allowing you to consume 6 or more cups of coffee on any given morning... In Grand Style.

Kathy,
(I feel a little weird asking since I don't know you personally, but....) Is your carry-on space all spoken for? I'd love to get a set. I can Paypal you the shipping.

Thanks!

I would love a mug AND a tote bag if not all your spots are taken! I'll watch here to see who else takes you up on your kind offer. :-)

How funny. My mom has that exact tea service. If I drank a whole pot of coffee, I would be bouncing around like Katie on sugar AND red food dye.   [Ha ha ha ha!]    [balloon smilie]  [cheesy grin]

Oh man. The conversation alone is almost worth it. Can you imagine? You and I would run the gamut from philosophy to theology to probably underwear technology in the first ten minutes and then we'd spend another two hours just nodding and giggling hysterically as we connected bikinis with Dante or something. Lol. ROFL. I think I just came up with a connection!!!

Oh boo. Now I'm sad that you won't be there Sarah. It would have been epic. [cheesy grin]

Thank God for Dawn, Amy Jo, Christy and Laura...

Oh!! Before I forget again. For those of you attending at Indiana and staying at Super 8 ya wanna do something fun? Tape a paper to your door that says your online name, real name and EXACTLY how late at night is too late for me to knock on your door by singing the AO theme song. (It hasn't been created yet but you never know what could happen next.) This way, we'll be able to find each other super fast and I won't bug you by showing up with chocolate past your bedtime. Or whatever I have in the way of goodies. :)

Oh my gosh. Will the powers that be sign me up for a coffee mug please? I have to make up for hijacking this (and like nine or twelve) other threads. I'll just write a pithy saying on my mug when and if I ever settle on a cool phrase. :)

ETA: oops, I'll go click on the link that was made for this express purpose on the first page of this delightful thread.
