Oh Tracy, I’m all flattered and shit! Thank you for the kind words.

As for you, Empress, will I have the pleasure of your company at Mom 2.0 next week? If you liked my Dayton-grade wardrobe, wait for what I’ve got in store for Miami, honey.

Stalking you till the end of days for that necklace.

Keep your eyes and ears open, you never know from where the quiet and the meek shall pounce.

Loved meeting you, genuinely did.

Shhh…I met two new fave people there, and you were one of them.

You know, because of the necklace.

Sarah:

Don’t all you homeschoolers have some kinda whistle you do in public to identify yourselves? If you don’t, give the kids that assignment for Sociology class tomorrow.

Also, do you get the kids to do crap around the house that you don’t want to, and make it into a lesson?

Like, “Clean the refrigerator, and estimate the cost of all the organic produce that’s gone bad.” Or, “Vacuum the house. How many cubic feet carpet did you clean? And how many of hard wood?”

I might have to run an after-school homeschool program over at my house.

Look out for my next blog: After School Homeschool. It’ll be brilliant.

I can say this of our return voyage: My children will never be in marching band.

Stacey!!

So happy to reconnect on the Information Superhighway. Let’s definitely stay in touch.

It was an honor to shove pizza down my throat late-night with you. Felt like we should have been in a dorm room.

Ah, you make me young again.

xoxoxo

Nicole:

You’re on. I like the way that business mind of yours works.

Besides, I’m always looking for an excuse to “cruise the home school conventions” as you put it. I assume when some of those mamas get out of the house to attend such events they really let loose.

I’ll pack my beer bong.

First of all, three pounds on your slight frame is just…probably from our late night fabulous talk and the shared pizza! Delish. Secondly, the only thing I passed you under the stall was laughter b/c you are a hoot and I hope we keep in touch! Great blog post. Felt like I was there…

so glad we were there together and got to break it down on the flight home. A wonderful and inspirational weekend – and yes, Bill Bombeck sure set the bar high…
