It looks like my wife and I are going. Now I just have to figure out how to brand a tote bag or clothing for both of my sites! Laugh

YAY!  You are one of the many I need to thank in person!  Laugh

Thanks! Sorry about the thread hijack. Let's get back to conference gabbing!

I would guess that there will be nametags at conference, and we're all bringing our business cards, right? A tote bag isn't a bad idea for carrying the swag (business cards given and received, notepad and/or laptop, etc.) Does VistaPrints do tote bags?

I might be wrong, but I believe tote bags are included with our conference ticket. 

Yep, Vistaprint does tote bags and yes, you will get a tote bag and nametag necklace thingy at the conference.  I wanted my tote to have my logo though.  :-)  It was that or a t-shirt and I didn't want to wear the same t-shirt 3 days in a row, lol.

I will probably have a tote, but not a Tshirt and definitely not a thong!! That is memorable at least!

Any other gals thinking they'll stay up late talking, junior high school sleepover style? I'll offer up my room and will bring the sparkly nail polish if someone else will bring a boy-band mix tape and snacks. We can talk about all the cute guys at conference and how to best manage our social media presence. Laugh

Hahaha.  Pregnancy is about what I looked like before except without the kid part, lol.  I will actually remember to bring my Queen CD's…

I just realized I may sound like a vanity freak.  For anybody who may not know, I joined Weight Watchers in January and have lost 29 pounds.  I do not care about looks and rarely do the classic "girly" thing but I am getting used to being my old size 10 again!  I'm just super happy personally, not a crazy judgemental person or anything like that…

Crystal – You're doing so awesome with that! Show of those baby-free curves! I've been doing WW and the gym for the past 6 weeks and am down 11 lb. I'm sure it will be back by October, but I'm going to keep going with the healthy habits between now and then. :)

My husband joked that it was good that the conference is in October so I'm in the "glowing" part of pregnancy and not the miserable ends – morning sickness or walking around with a bowling ball in my pelvis. Ha.

Congrats on 11 pounds!  That's awesome!  "Glowing" definitely beats morning sickness.Wink

They were the first CD's I ever bought – I was 15 and "splurged" on Best of Queen 1 & 2, hahahaha.  I grew up listening to them via my Mom – well, Queen and the Beatles.Laugh

I met you in person Crystal–you didn't look pregnant! You were fine, but I am quite curious with how you look now that you've lost so much weight!

Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately we'll be in PA visiting my family. It's my Mom's 50th birthday, and we are throwing her a surprise birthday bash–she doesn't even know that Paul and I are flying home for it! Have a great time, and we'll have to find another time to get together:).
