Home From Convention

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

Well, I got home yesterday evening (I was SOOO looking forward to my

stopover in Philadelphia, because my favorite NY pizza place

allegedly had a " branch " in the Philly airport. Liars! I wound up

eating sucky ol' Sbarro. Ew. <G>) and after a nice nap today, I'm

read to start thinking about next year's convention <G>. I already

told Joe I'm going...he's already trying to figure out if he's

working that weekend next year, to maybe go with me (which surprised

the crap out of me, let me tell ya! <G>)

I don't think I could list all of the people I enjoyed meeting,

simply because there were so many. Don't take it the wrong way, but

the 7 adults who were there was a teeny, tiny number in comparison

to the dozens and dozens of kids...so it was REALLY hard to keep

track of everyone, aside from the handful who I wound up seeing and

talking to several times over (and you know who you are <wink>), and

the handful of kids I kept playing and taking pictures with over and

over (and your parents/grandparents know who your kids are, too

<grin>).

But I have to tell you that being at the convention was SUCH an eye-

opener for me. To have all these cute little kids who looked just

like me when I was little was just...great...almost like a family

reunion, since we all look more alike than we look like our families

<G>. Meeting the other adults was a MAJOR thrill...to be able to

see people eye-to-eye (or, even better, OVER some of their

heads!!!), to find out that some of the minor inconveniences I've

experienced in life were things that they've all experienced too,

and now, to be finding out that some medical stuff might be Adult

RSS related too (more on that soon, I promise!), well, it was just a

TERRIFIC weekend and I am SOOOO there next year!
