Let's Start Getting Things Finalized

Still pretty quiet around here. The counter on the page keeps going up, so maybe people are checking in to see if anything is new, but aren't posting anything new themselves [which... ahem... I suppose I'm guilty of as well...].

We're just about, what, like 5 WEEKS away from Sunday, December 26th. Yes, it was a unanimous decision which I hope still works for everyone that is going to be making it to the reunion. I got my airline ticket a week ago - I'll DEFINITELY be there. WHOO-HOO! I'm getting into Midway on the 20th, and will be in Indiana until early on the 31st.

Speaking of definitely being there, I've got a new "poll" going to the right. Just click next to your name to let us know that you will definitely be showing up. When? The 26th. What time? Um, I don't know yet. Where? Robin's place - which, I'm sure, she will give directions to as we get even closer. What will we do there? Besides drink a lot, well, we could do a potluck or get pizzas or subs or have a sock hop, etc. Hopefully, we won't just all sit in a circle an stare at each other. [Hey, if you have the ability, you might want to throw together and burn a "Reunion Mix" CD - all of the good 'uns that remind you of people/places/events from the old days...]

SO, do the poll, and, you might also want to "COMMENT" on this very post saying, "Yeah, I'm coming, and I'm bringing [this person] & [that person]."

OH, most importantly, I spoke to John this past weekend and he knew about the site and all, but never got an invite because his invite was sent to the wrong email address... oops. I've sent him a new invite [which it appears as though he has read, but not accepted yet] and seems to be up for the whole event. I'll let him speak for himself when he signs on, though...

Hi & TGIF!
I will be there! And my boyfriend Courtney too--assuming we are all anxious to meet each others spouses/significant others! Robin/Eric, let us know what we should bring.
Eric, that's a nice long vaca time you get! That's a great benefit for those of you in the teaching field. The only day our offices are closed is the 24th! I'll be taking the 27th off to recover and fly back to NYC.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon :)

Yeah, Diana, email is fine - you can give them both

erictwelve@yahoo.com, & erictwelve@mac.com

THANKS! I'd love to have Snear-ball there.

You know who else I thought we should've searched hell & high water for? Watching "The Amazing Race" [which was in Norway - even though the person I'm thinking of was from Denmark...] the other night reminded me of her:

SISSEL

I wonder where she is these days, eh?

I'm not positive but I think it was an exchange student named Sophie that stayed with Amber.

Actually, Jens Ruffler emailed me about a year ago and has stayed in touch! He was working in Vermont for a long time, and now he's living in Oregon finishing a degree. Should I tell him about the blog?

Diana, did you have a chance to get in touch with Snearly's dad and stepmom?

Yes, grading papaers - what fun!! It's 2 am here in Knoxville and I'm at school grading papers, creating final exams and study guides to go with them. I think finals are more work for teachers than for kids!! (Ok, obviously I'm taking a break from work to check the blog.) Amy, as you are certainly aware, it's easier to get work done when the boys are sleeping (I have three).

I will be in NW Indiana soon, but not for the reunion. My grandmother, who lives in Parr (Jasper County) will be celebrating her 80th birthday on Sunday, 12/19 (don't tell her - it's a surprise party!) and we'll be there for that weekend, but then we'll head back home to TN on Monday, 12/20. If anyone wants to meet up somewhere on Saturday, 12/18, let me know. Send me a message (mikerbutler@excite.com), call me here (865-693-5901) or call me at my in-law's home in Morgan Twp (219-462-7073). We'll arrive sometime late Friday night and don't have any plans for Saturday yet.
